Hi, Sorry to hear that and happy that you asked for help. If there is some blood leakage in our Intestine this type of problem occurs. Two elaborate if there is Dark red colour blood in stool likely due to leakage of blood from lower intestine. If there is blood leakage from upper intestine, it takes some to reach lower intestine and to anus, so red blood turns to dark brown. I suppose this is what happening in your case. There could be other reasons like Nutrition related drinking brown colour syrup, or protein shakes etc..,
Next Steps
If this problem happening for a long period of time, better consult a Gastroenterologist ask for any confirmatory tests like Stool Analysis, CBP,.
Health Tips
Avoid spicy foods, Increase fibre content in the diet, Check for any other symptoms like easily feeling of weakness. Don't neglect if this is happening frequently and consult a doctor. Stress can also increases bleeding in intestine if any So try relaxation techniques.
