Ift could be old : Blood. If you had biopsies taken or a polyp removed then its not uncommon to see old blood in stool. It could also reflect an upper GI source such as gastic ulcers. If you continue to experience the above then let your GI doc know.

Had a tight stomach for a couple of weeks, especially in afternoon. Had colonoscopy and stool test in March that showed all good, but tightness makes it almost feel like a weight on front of stomach, but no real pain. Any idea what could cause this?
