Red Pieces in my stool :(

Hello guys, I'm diagnosed UC for about 6 month. My last scop is 2 month ago and everything is in remission. But recently i when i finish my job in tolet i saw some red dots/pieces on my stool. Is it blood or something else ? I dont have abdominal pains or feel like rush to the toilet and this happend about a week ago. Please help Thank you all :D

P/s: My med is 1g pentasa a day

I'd not worry. It's most likely a false alarm as Kulinarykidz points out. Our stool can contain the red/orange remains of pill casings, undigested parts of fruit skins (tomatoes, apples, and others) and seeds. They change color when bathed in the various acids and enzymes within the digestive tract.

When we're looking for flare signs with UC, we looking for blood on toilet paper when wiping, and signs of blood on the toilet water surface (obvious bright red drips or slicks across the water's surface). Usually it's not the only sign, it's usually paired with increased urgency or bms, or looser stools.

I know we tend to read our bms like fortune tellers read tea leaves, and I'd wager the odds of success are about equal. It's great to be vigilant and look for changes, but inversely small changes can make us panic and worry. If non-uc-folks ever cared to look before flushing then they'd see what you saw. It's perfectly normal

I get that from Asacol HD. Kinda freaks you out when you see it tho.

1g pentasa as in rectal enema?

If it happened once, it's probably a food substance. We don't break down insoluble fibre unless we chew it completely....so unless you can remember what you ate the day or days before, don't worry about it if its sporatic.

So this is only once it happened?
