Is this blood in my stools?!
Question: Embarrassing question but my stools have had red the past 2 days. (but I'm not sure if its blood or not) It's not bright or dark in color. I've been eating a lot of stuff with tomato sauce this past week, and hot cheetos. Could either of these be the reason? This has never happened before.

Anything that indicates blood in your stools should be checked out pretty quickly. It's east to explain away stuff like that by blaming it on your diet, a kind of denial because no one likes to think they could be ill. Why not give yourself a couple of days on a fairly bland diet. See if the colouration goes? But may be best to avoid the denial route and head to your doctor. You don't mention if the tissue is also stained red.
Blood from your stools is usually lack so it could be the sauce I have had hotdogs turn mine reddish as well as beetroot ~~
