2 small orangey light red spots in stool (not fresh). had some ketchup and tomatoes yesterday. stomach gassy today. strained a little bit just this time to let the poop out. have a very small exterior hemorrhoids. any thoughts about it?

?blood on stool: I wouldn't blame ketchup but can't be sure about tomatoes. Hemorrhoids cause bright red blood. This doesn't sound serious, however your physician can do a simple test on your stool to check for blood if you still have concerns.
