Toilet water dark orange

[stourm]

Ok guys, I have a question. For many, many years now I have had soft and occasionally loose stools nearly every time I have BM. No big deal though, just part of life for me. Anyway, about two weeks or so ago I noticed after one of my poops that the water at the bottom of the bowl around the poop had turned an orange-ish red color after about 10 or 15 minutes. Kind of dark and hard to tell but it looked more orange than red. Also the water at the top of the bowl was more yellow (like what you would expect from urine) so the effect was more akin to a diffused orange that got lighter at the top into yellow. Since then, I have noticed this several more times, including today. The poop appears to be normal brown color from what I can tell from, you know, wiping. It doesn't appear tarry or darker than usual either and I don't see any red when I wipe. It is decidedly not the same color that I have experienced before when I eat beets, which does turn the water red! Anyway, obviously the coloration is seeping out of the poop itself, and I am just wondering if blood wrapped up in the stool would turn the water this color. If not blood, then what could it be?? Is this something I should see a doctor about or wait a while to see if it resolves on its own? Just an FYI, I am 39 year old male with no real family history of colon cancer that I am aware of, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can offer!
