Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking.

You are reporting to pass red color stools.

I need to know more about your symptoms like:

1. Did you take red-wine, red cabbage or radishes recently?
2. if you didn't take any of these then you should do:
- fecal occult blood test
- blood work (Hemogram)
to determine if you have blood in your stools.

Otherwise, if possible, it would be great if you can upload a photo of your stools so I can check the color and assist you further.

Hope it was helpful to you. Feel free to ask further.
