Brief Answer:
Malabsorption
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to Malabsorption. Red thing can be most likely water melon pieces undigested.
If this happens again go for a stool routine examination. For Malabsorption syndrome like this I would suggest a single dose treatment of tinidazole 2 gram. You can also take probiotics like bifidobacter or sacharomyces boulardii.
ESR of 25 is not that high.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.

Thanks doctor! This happened today only and i have been eating watermelons from long but it did not happened earlier. I went for poop thrice, twice i could see the issue on a very large scale however last was minimal ( could see some red steeks only).
I am worried because i heard with weight loss and high esr, cancer is likely and now this.

Thank you for your follow up.
Your ESR is not too high. It is just mild elevation which can be due to mild inflammation. May be you recently got infected with protozoal infection like giardiasis which can give Malabsorption syndrome.Malabsorption syndrome can be the most likely cause which also can give weight loss.
Single dose of tinidazole 2 gram and probiotics will be helpful to clear this.
