Red object in my poop

What is this? I know it's not food.

Hi Siphonophore,

Thank you for posting on Colon Cancer Connected. I have no idea what that is.🤔 If you want to be absolutely sure and get some Peace of Mind, I would take a FIT test to help you determine if that is blood in your stool. There are some that you can do from home, or you can go to your doctor and have that done as well. Cologuard is one brand you can do from home. It may also be helpful to think about if there's a family history of disease that could be at play here.

We do wish you the very best in finding out some answers. I would go ahead and take a FIT test just to make sure nothing sinister. 👍

Thank you,
