See below: What you described does not seem to be a cause for concern. you may wish to get your stool tested for occult blood. Your doctor can order a FIT test for this. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
