blood in my waste?

blue powder

oh shit, so i just went to the bathroom and there was like red stuff in one of the artcles of poo, but it wasn't liquidy, i have no idea what it was. It could have been watermelon? i ate some today, i also ate some asian food, but nothing that was red was in it really.

it didn't effect the color of the water, so yeah, i'm kinda paranoid now...

edit: i think i suffer from anxiety aswell, or something becuase i have this nagging feeling that something might be really wrong with me. I don't know.

Jesus FUCKING Christ when your ass is bleeding you go see a doctor.

Do not log on and post about it, call your doctor and get them to check you out.

Damn!

Actually, if the red parts weren't liquid, and were just little particles it doesn't sound like blood to me. It was probably chunks of chilis from a sauce on your asian food.

Blood will most likely turn your stool black too, it's called Melena. It is normally associated with stomach and chest pains too.

Unless it is froma fissure, in which case it will be bright red, and will show up when you wipe.

Dark blood means its coming from your upper intestines....bright red means a lower bleed (i.e. stop sticking your finger up there so much).
If the water didn't change colors and the red stuff appeared solid, then yeah I'd say its probably some ropey watermelon. At the worst, the seeds may have scratched you up a bit.
Drink some extra fluids to help get things moving around down there.
Of course if this continues and you have stopped eating red stuff then I'd begin to ask some more qualified folks.

hey guys, thanks, yeah i think it probably was just me over reacting, i tend to get paranoid about things, and i guess after reading all the things happening to people on here i get paranoid and try to find thigns wrong with me or something, i don't even know. i just wanted to talk about it.

Goto WebMD and punch in your symptoms and it will recommend how long you can wait before you should goto the doctor. Or better yet call your doctor, especially if you have medical insurance. Your crazy to ask for medical advice on a web forum though. Like asking a BestBuy employee about computers. Maybe you will get lucky but usually they'll be telling you you need more gigahertz for your hard drives.

If it is red chunks it is probably just watermelon. One of my coworkers had his wife frantically calling in to work a few weeks ago to ask what the heck he fed their toddler (it was watermelon) because there was red stuff in his diaper. If it persists past the time when you would expect watermelon digestion to be taking place, go see a doctor.

I've had actual blood in my stool only twice in my life. Each time was during my first week in Coast Guard & Army basic training. That was from aweful stress. If you don't recognize the stuff as blood then it maybe just food.

I had a roommate that made some red velvet cake one time. It turned your shit red. Oddly enough, I didn't find it alarming at the time. I'm not sure why... I had no idea what had 'caused it until my roommate brought it up.

Have you eaten any of that?

Yeah, thats from the food coloring or the cake was made from broken glass! Any excessive food coloring can change your poop & pee color.
