Had blood in stool after 3hrs of eating pizza now back to normal brown?

Potential Causes:

- Dietary Causes: Certain foods, such as beets or dark food coloring, can cause stool to appear temporarily red.

- Anal Fissures: Small tears in anal lining can cause bright red blood to appear on the surface of the stool or toilet bowl.

- Hemorrhoids: Swollen veins in the anus or lower rectum can also cause bleeding, typically noticeable on toilet paper or in the toilet water.

Since your stool has returned to normal brown,it's likely the change in stool color was related to the pizza you consumed.However, it's always advisable to consult a healthcare provider if you experience recurring or persistent abnormal stool coloration or any other concerning symptoms.
