Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

This stool finding: is most likely dietary. If it doesn't go away in a week you could make an appointment for evaluation by a health care provider. Otherwise no worries.

Occasionally after a bowel movement I will notice tiny spits of bright red blood when I wipe, nothing visible in the stool, just very small spots on the paper. There's no pain just a raw feeling. What could it be?

Could I have blood in stool if my hemoglobin was 15.1? I saw red spots in one of my stools, I am not sure if it is blood or if it's from pizza and pasta I ate two days ago? I also had two pieces of desert which contained raspberry preserves filling?
