Garlic and turmeric: It is unlikely that garlic and/or turmeric are the cause of the blood you saw. If it was bright red blood on the toilet paper only the most common causes are an small tear in the anal mucosa from a hard bowel movement or a hemorrhoid. If the bleeding persists I suggest seeing your doctor.

See below: Blood on the toilet paper is often due to bleeding internal hemorrhoids. Blood on the stool is more worrisome. Both turmeric and garlic have anti-platlet action. They "thin" the blood and can impair blood clotting. It's likely that if taken in large amounts they could cause hemorrhoids to bleed. If the bleeding happens infrequently, and never in the bowl or on the stool it's likely hemorrhoidal.
