Constipation: Hi, you need to fix your constipation by increasing your fiber intake, drinking more water, be more active and also eat food high in magnesium, also Iron pill could make you constipated, you can take Senna or Colace (docusate sodium) while on Iron pill.

My poop had one bright red spot on it. No blood on toilet paper or anywhere else, just one single red spot that was part of the stool. It wasnt floating on the outside or anything. Does this sound like blood or something else?
