Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Thanks for calling Chat Doctor. Forum.  After using antibiotics for one week, (Cipro) you had abdominal pain on both sides, stools became loose and with red stuff, since one week, colonoscopy show hemorrhoids, In some areas due to hardness of water some antibiotics show such changes like gastritis, and intestinal irritation, and may cause blood motions.  Most probably your problem is due to this only. This needs to be treated with antibiotics which don't cause such changes, P.P.I. if necessary with anti spasmodic.  I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.  I advise you to avoid spices, junk foods, and oily foods.  Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.  Best regards.
