Red in my poop, is it blood????

Question

So I don't know if it's actually blood, but when I went earlier it was like it had a red glow around it in the toilet bowl. The water wasn't red but there was a red ring around the poop on the bottom of the bowl, like someone had spray painted it. When i wiped there was no red on the toilet paper. This has only happened once, I'm not sure if it is actually blood or just from something I've eaten. Does anybody have any idea?

Sounds like blood. If you have no other symptoms--e.g. pain, discomfort, etc.--wait until your next one. if the red is still there, then you'll probably want to go see your doc. If it's not, then there's probably nothing to worry about. But keep an eye on things.

Probably not.

Blood in the stool usually looks black, not red.

  True, but in that case there would have been visible blood on the toilet paper.
