A member asked:
My doctor has requested for a stool sample. is it ok for stools to contain blood and undigested food particles? can that affect the stool testing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normal: It is not normal for the stool to contain blood. If it does, that may be part of the testing that was ordered to determine if there is blood in the stool. Do all the tests the doctor ordered and review the results with the doctor.
