There may be many causes, but one may be hook worms, especially if one has a dog. The infection passes from animal to human and can account for these symptoms. Have the animal checked, and if it is infected, see your physician. A possible cause for itching in the peri-rectal area (at any age) may be yeast infection. Limiting or eliminating eating bread may stop the itching. Our tolerances for a variety of behaviors and phenomena change with aging. Some people are fine with cat dander and then one day they go into anaphylactic shock the moment they come into contact with a cat. So too with food Allergies. You can always go to dermatologist for an answer that might be definitive (or maybe not) or do some experimentation on your body when the symptoms aren't critical.

What causes headaches diarrhea rectal bleeding abdominal pain and rectal soreness?

Just got over a 4-day bout with gastroenteritis, probably caused by contaminated food. You just described the hell I've been through. You didn't mention intestinal gurgling. You could hear my intestines gurgling, growling, and moving things along from the next room. Gold Bond Medicated powder is working for my rectal bleeding/soreness (caused by days of diarrhea). I just read a website that recommended Tinactin for the same. I bet the headache is caused from dehydration (or caffeine withdrawal--you either stopped drinking coffee because you don't feel good and want to stay in bed, or the caffeine you ARE drinking isn't being absorbed as much because everything is moving out of your system too quickly). Drink LOTS of fluids and add some probiotics to your diet (supplements or yogurt) to replenish your good bacteria.
