Blood in stools
I have had like dark flakes in my stools and was worried it was dried blood. So I mixed it in some water and used a urine dipstick which showed positive for blood. Is this as accurate as on stools as it is urine

If this painless bleeding then may be due to piles. It's better to get yourself evaluated physically ( short scopy) to rule out piles / Fissure. Increase fibre in your diet. Take salads in each diet. Take plenty of water. Get your self evaluated soon. Take care.
