A member asked:

Small red bits in stool which smear on paper like jellyish stuff..does blood apear like this? i see this sometimes..m 22 yr old female

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult to say: The jellyish stuff you describe is likely a mix of stool, blood and mucus. Many things can cause these symptoms with one of the common etiologies being infectious colitis. If you continue to have pain or symptoms be sure to see a doctor.
