I have been noticing red spots in my stool from 3 years. I had done stool occult blood test 2 times it came negative. I had colonoscopy few days back it was also normal. Is it possible that it is some undigested food in the stool? Can colonoscopy miss cancer? Also my cbc was normal. But I don't understand what it is in the stool.

No need to worry when colonoscopy is normal. If you notice passing black coloured stools or altered bowel habits then further evaluation is required
