Blood in newborn stool: allergy or temporary colitis?
Part of Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at very young babies (less than a month old) who have blood in their stool but are otherwise well. The goal is to find out whether the bleeding is due to a food allergy or a short-term gut irritation, so doctors can give the right care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how different types of feeding affect the gut of very preterm babies when they receive a blood transfusion. If your baby qualifies, the team will do extra monitoring and ultrasound scans to learn more about gut health during transfusions.
This study looks at blood markers in newborns after major stomach or intestine surgery. It aims to understand recovery and could help improve care for babies with similar conditions.
This study is looking at a new way to detect bleeding between the mother and baby during pregnancy (called fetomaternal hemorrhage), which can lead to a blood problem in the newborn called hemolytic disease. The goal is to see if this test can help diagnose the condition earlier and hopefully improve care for the baby.
This study looks at adults who come to the hospital with fresh blood in their stool (rectal bleeding). It aims to understand what causes it, how it is treated, and what the results are for patients.
This study looks at patients who develop bleeding in the stomach or intestines while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand how common this is and what factors might be involved, which could help improve care for future patients.
This study uses ultrasound and a light-based sensor to monitor the gut in very premature babies who receive a blood transfusion. The goal is to see if these tools can detect early signs of intestinal injury, which may help prevent serious complications.
