A member asked:
Very small amount of stringyish red stuff in poop..it was very less..i had a lot of ketchup in day before yesterdays dinner..could it be the ketchup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not the ketchup.: Ketchup would most likely have been completely digested and would not be visible in the stool as stringy red material. I will bet that it will resolve completely on its own, but if it persists, and If it appears to be blood, I would discuss it with your primary care doctor. Good luck.
