What Causes Presence Of Red Raw Meat Pieces In Stool?

Posted on Tue, 13 May 2014

Question: I found what seemed to be pieces of red raw meat in my stool, It may sound gross but I was so scared that I carefully rinsed a piece and it even felt like raw meat. I'm terribly afraid, I don't know what to do, am I pooping out pieces of my intestine whats happening?! The only red thing I have ate are red bell peppers, but this has never occurred, also I have been drinking a lot more coffee than usual. I haven't practiced anal sex in over a month so I'm hoping that has nothing to do with it, but I know for a fact it felt and looked like raw flesh.

Brief answer...it was red bell pepper only. Detailed answer.... Hello, Thanks for the query. There is nothing to fear about anything. Many types of vegetables do come out in your stool as such because of their insoluble skin. The piece you passed in your stool was just the skin of red bell pepper and it can not be any meat or any part of your intestine. Remember if you have it only on the day after you eat something red,then it has to be the same thing. Just relax as there is nothing to worry. I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query. Best of luck Thanks
