Why Am I Getting Pink Bowels?
I have pink bowels...never had this before. It is NOT something I ate. There are little tiny pellets of fecal matter that are mainly blood and there appears to be mucus on my bowels in addition to the pink. My anus is a little sore but I don't think it's hemorrhoids. I also have really bad gas--like putrid, rancid really off smelling gas. When do I see a doctor?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, pink stool is doubtful and just to rule out this stool needs to be sent for culture sensitivity although it seems to be nonspecific you can wait for some days if the symptoms vanish if not then and then stool needs to be sent for examination else it is nothing to worry, of course you can see the doctor for clinical examination too, hope this information helps.
