What does blood in the stool look like?


Posted by ZenithProsperity

I've been having stomach problems for about a month now. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I have stomach inflammation, a lot of acidity, and a lot of stress. He gave me a few things to take and said I'd feel better in two weeks. Anyway, yesterday, I noticed dark stool mixed with natural colored stool. Today was the same deal. I checked the dark stool, and it was kinda hard, made me think of the plums I ate the day before. I used a paper to smear it to see what color it was. It was a dark brown color, but from far away it looks pretty dark. Maybe not black, but very dark. Is this blood in my stool?
