Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

Dear Doctor Roach: I’m a 70-year-old male who’s active and healthy, and I eat a varied diet. I take the minimum dosages of levothyroxine and atorvastatin. Recently, I had a gastrointestinal bleed that was located in my ascending colon due to diverticulosis. There wasn’t an infection or any pain at all. Just out of the blue, I had explosive, bloody diarrhea.
