possible blood in stool?

[Helloimflip]

had a bowl moment last night and it looked like this… had have had two since then that dont have any signs of red or blood. I did eat a decent amount of hot cheetos for lunch that day. Not sure if that would do that… thoughts?

Maybe you need to consider calling your doctor and discuss. They can decide the way forward. Many conditions could cause this so why leave it to chance?

yes I have already called my dr and he did what they often do is just say go talk to this other dr. Lol

Go and get a test kit from your doctor. There’s a good chance it’s nothing but don’t hesitate GO.

Thank you for the heads up! I will look into that.

Hi Helloimflip,

Thank you for posting in Colon Cancer Connected. Are you saying that this is the first time you eaten a decent amount of hot Cheetos in one sitting? You could probably do a home a FIT test and absolutely know what may be happening here. I would think that you may be a little concerned as you have posted it here on this website. So, for Peace of Mind, get it checked out. It's absolutely no harm in doing that and if there is something going on you'd be catching things early. If nothing's going on, no harm no foul.👍

We do wish you the best in getting some answers. You've gotten some other good insight as to the best thing to do.

Thank you,

Thank you! Yeah I do plan on getting things checked out. Yes I did eat a larger amount then would usually have. I usually only have one or two when my wife does. I also think I was having some GI issues as I noticed my food didnt seam to be getting fully digested well. I had alot of bubble gut… Im feeling a little better now. But seeing all that red was alarming… thank you for the support and I will follow up once Im able to get things looked at.
