Maroonish/ dark red streaks in stool
I have had difficulty to pass stool from about 3 days now. However it does not seem like constipation for even though the stool needs effort to pass it's not hard, rather in chunks and musshy not liquid.
Today I noticed streaks of dark red on the outer sides of them. Like very few streaks and had to be noticed very carefully.
Earlier yesterday I had seen brownish spots on them as well.
I have no pain/ bloating or vomiting.
Haven't consumed any beetroots.
Though I did have a raw tomato yesterday.
Is this. cause of major concern?
