Red stools and red water

Red stools and red water

Should I be worried?  I just had a bout of diarrhea with mild cramping (to be honest, so used to the cramping from many years of constipation leading up to diarrhea that I'm fairly numb to it).  Each time I went, the toilet water turned bright red.

I did have a red velvet cake muffin this morning but I also know that it usually takes atleast 24 hours for your body to digest food.  Also, last week I had a little bit of blood streak/clot after a regular BM.

Was it the red velvet muffin or is it blood?  How can I tell?
