Could be: Lack of activity, eating dry food, drinking less fluids, less fiber in the diet, eating very small amount of food can contribute to constipation.

Constipated past 3 days, taking fybogel and went this morning. Light red solid lump in stool, could be extracted & had tomatos 2 days ago. Could this be skin or blood? Also mucus on toilet paper when wiping. Could this be from being constipated?
