A member asked:
Im type 1 diabetic and might have possible blood in my stool but not sure if it could be from drinking red fluids all day.. could it be related to my diabetes or from the fluids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rectal bleeding.: although it is possible for food dyes to make the stool appear red, it is important to identify if it truly is blood or not. A simple test of your stool can make that determination within seconds. If you have had stool which may be bloody, you should see your doctor for testing. Good luck.
