This weekend, I went up North with a friend to hunt for ruffed grouse (<- translation I found).
After a few hours walking, riding an ATV and also drinking shitloads of beers, I became quite thirsty.
We stopped by a lake where my buddy wanted to show me the spot where he shot a moose.
I was so thirsty I could've drank anything.
Then I saw those pretty little flowers filled with semi-frozen rain water in them. I picked many of them up, used them like a cup to drink the water. Then I took out the remaining ice and used it as popsickles.
...
Drinking stale water from carnivorous plants = extreme intestinal pain and bloody stools

Because I'm a caring individual, I wondered if your malady might have been caused by not cleaning the grouse properly before eating them, and not resultant of your ingestion of the water you discuss. Not knowing, perhaps, how to properly Google the topic, I typed in "'ruffed grouse' diarrhea." I found nothing.
Later, some chick I work with came in to my room to have a quick drink and to see if I wanted to have sex with her (okay, I made that last bit up). She saw the words "'ruffed grouse' diarrhea" left on my Google search toolbar thingy. She thinks I'm weird.

Those are Pitcher plants; the most boring and unrespected plants of the carnivorous plant world.
All need of the venus fly trap to entrap and digest organic animal flesh comes together in an uninspired union with all the mobility of Christopher Reeve, who also sustained himself by sucking the life out of nutrient rich, helpless lifeforms, but only after his resemblence to the pitcher plant ended.
Mandatory +2 for a post about carnivorous plants, regardless of how lame
-1 because I'd both never think to hunt recreationally or that the acid and bacteria-saturated fluids of a pitcher plant were drinkable

Are your bowels still giving you trouble (i.e. diarrhea)? Any vomiting? You mentioned bloody stools?

none of the above, but i have this pain that feels like getting stabbed right under my stomach.
i had dreams about the carnivorous plants in mario bros all night.

One of the first big rules I learned during my career in Forestry was never drink from standing water, be it a huge lake or little puddle, and if you drink from a creek make sure it is cold and fast flowing.

If these things last more than 48 hours, I'd get to a doctor as dehydration will be only the least of your worries.

Troof. You're supposed to bring plenty of water, but in emergency situations you can chew pine needles (especially ones with dew on them). It doesn't exactly taste like Evian, but it will keep you alive and can contain as much as eight times the vitamin C of an orange.

"New pitcher leaves do produce digestive enzymes such as hydrolases and proteases, but as the individual leaves get older into their second year, digestion of prey material is aided by the community of bacteria that live within the pitchers."
You, my friend, need to worry bout them bacteria, most likely. It's like food poisoning, but more natural. Or something.

If you start eating flies and spiders, yes you need to go see a doctor.
I'd suggest to drink a lot of 'safe' water and eat something.

Pitcher plants secrete digestive enzymes into that water. Those enzymes probably were trying to digest your digestive track.
