It would seem: to indicate that you did not take enough time to properly masticate (chew) the course plant based roughage (fibers). Your body does not have the ability to break these down properly from large pieces the way that ruminates do.

Had a few red pieces in my stool this morning. No red on toilet paper or in the water. Ate chili yesterday, could it just be undigested tomato/red pepper?
Are small black pepper-like specs on the toilet paper normal? I dont get them every time I wipe, but most times. My stool itself seems absolutely fine and I have no other symptoms. I read it could be undigested food or bile? Please help?

Went to restroom, looked like blood in stool and in water. Stool was soft, not painful. Lower stomach pain after. Ate red pepper last night. Blood?
Do black specs(like tiny pepper flakes) in the stool indicate blood even when the stool in a normal brown color?
