Clear poops with red dots in them?

[Equal]

I've been having these thin poops for maybe a few weeks and today I've noticed that I have had a few clear ones that seem to have red dots in them, should I be worried? I panicked and rushed to my phone to google it, flushed the toilet and didn't have time to take a photo.

Hi Equal,

Thanks for posting with us. I would definitely look for some answers about you are observing. It could be being caused by many different things. I wouldn’t be worried, but focus on getting some good answers. You should get a FIT test which will tell you if what you are seeing is blood in the stool. A positive result from there would lead you to getting a colonoscopy. But first and foremost, get in front of your doctor and get it checked out.

I think you are doing great and not ignoring the symptoms is the best thing to do. And do remember there could be a lot of things going on here. A good thing to know is if there any hereditary medical issues in your family. This would be good information for your doctor as it could lead to other beneficial tests.

We do wish you the best in getting answers. You need to narrow down what could be going on. This will get you focused and on the path to being well. Please let us know what you find out. It is that type of information that can be helpful to others on this site as well.

Thank you,

Tom
