Stool Color: What did you eat in the last 48 hours? In most cases this is about the food you ate. If you have any pain, fever, or evidence of bleeding you should get to the doctor's office.

Possibilities: Diverticular disease. Anal fissure. A small cut or tear in the tissue lining the anus similar to the cracks that occur in chapped lips or a paper cut. Fissures are often caused by passing a large, hard stool and can be painful. Colitis. Inflammation of the colon. Among the more common causes are infections or inflammatory bowel disease.
