Light-colored, White– This could mean you have a bile duct obstruction. Some medications may also cause this. Blood-stained or Red – You may have eaten a lot of red foods, such as beets which can turn your stool red. However, blood in your stool could be a sign of polyps or colorectal cancer. Blood in your stool can also be the result of benign conditions like hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Contact your doctor if you see blood in your stool. “Everyone’s bowel habits are different so there is a very wide variety of ‘normal,’” said Robert Giacobbe, DO, of Mather Primary Care. “One of the most important warning signs is change. If there is any change in the size, thickness, frequency or color of your stool, talk to your doctor. Also, any unexplained weight loss or new bloating, cramping or abdominal pain should prompt a visit to your doctor. Finally, blood is always abnormal. Although bleeding can be caused by something benign, you should always call your doctor if you see blood in your stool.” Giacobbe said. In addition, some medications can cause constipation or changes in frequency of bowel movements, so always be aware of the side effects of the medications you are taking. If you experience any big, noticeable changes that last, you should see your doctor. Furthermore, our bodies react to stress differently and some of those reactions may manifest in the bathroom. If your bowel movements have changed drastically and other medical conditions have been ruled out by your doctor, stress may be the culprit. Pay attention to what your bowels are telling you. From stress to medical conditions, they provide you with warning signs that will help you improve your overall health.
