Im on the keto diet and not sure if this is why but when i poop ive noticed a brown/rust color leaking from my poop all the way to the bottom of the toilet. ive never noticed this before keto. my concern is that the rust color may be blood?

No, what you observe is not a sign of blood in your stool. Furthermore, keto diet is not a risk factor for GI bleeding. Take care.
