Blood maybe, but...: The color of stool varies with food ingested (? do you favor red-colored beverages), speed of emptying of the GI tract, medications, supplements ingested, gut flora (unique for each individual), additives (like blood), subtractions (like absent bile), infection/exposures, inflammation, other factors. Testing seems in order, as does further evaluation if blood is indeed detected.
