Bleeding - Rifampin???

I am currently on Rifampin, ethambutol and Azithromycin to treat MAC. Over the last two weeks I have had blood in my stool 3 times, bright red. Rifampin is known to cause bleeding as a side effect. Has anyone experienced this while on rifampin? Did you discontinue it right away? Thanks for your help......I will be seeing a GI specialist soon.
