hello


Okay, I'm totally freaking out. A couple days ago, I had chicken tenders, fries and a sierra mist for dinner. I used BBQ sauce and Honey Mustard for the chicken tenders and a LOT of ketchup on the fries. The next day, my stools looked REDDISH ORANGE. It also seemed like my food hadn't digested properly.

I have been constipated today and yesterday evening, but I was able to manage to pass some. It's still reddish orange, save for a very tiny bit that was sort of runny and greenish-yellow. I haven't had much water the past couple days either (last night I drank a few Saranac Shirley Temple sodas, and have been drinking gatorade quite a bit recently).

It looked also like there was blood (yes, I examined it--gross) possibly on the outside of it. I am on my period, so I'm wondering if that's causing it.

Could my University's food be causing my stool to look this way?? It's really scary, because I keep reading about tumors and internal bleeding. Please help me out!
