A cheerful thought! Well, I did have a sigmoidoscopy so I assumed
(perhaps wrongly) that they would have noted any internal hemmorhoids
during that.

I suppose that wouldn't rule out any IBD higher up the colon, but the
blood I see is bright red. I'd assume (again, perhaps wrongly) that any
blood released higher up would have had a chance to deoxygenate and would
be a darker red?

I'm trying to get another appointment with my gastro to sort this out.
In the meantime my new base of operations is the bathroom. Thank heaven
for laptops, that's all I'm saying!

When you see the doctor, request a colonoscopy.
