Help!Food or blood?

[jp19]

I am 24 y/o F. Just got a full bloodwork up in Feb with normal results. I eat A LOT of fruit/veggies and am starting to think I see them in stool. Stool color/texture is normal but there are particles in there that seem to resemble mushroom/carrot/red pepper(all things I ate?) They are "Lodged in" the otherwise normal looking stool, Is this normal and is there any chance I am mistaking blood for food?

you can do a stool study tets and ask your doctor to test it.. it's expensive and gross but i've done it twice and they test for blood and white blood cells, you just collect a few stools and turn it into the lab.. they look for blood..bugs/parasites and all that.  If you're not in pain then i'd say keep eating healthy..but for peace of mind you could ask your doctor if you can test for that.

(usually blood isn't visible..usually blood in stools is dark stools, like when you have an ulcer your stools almost go black... unless you have an fissure of some kind or tear then it's bright red, basically the closer to the exit the brighter the color..but i'm not a doctor..but yeah that's what i've heard)

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. If it continues, I think i'll test for peace of mind.
