red poop?

Hi everyone, I need some advice on a recent development I had, for the past 2 days I've had red poop, not like blood covered, or streaks of blood on it, it's an actual colour of the poop dull light red like red bricks you know, I'm a little bit constipated, pooping out hard, fat, short pieces (sorry for TMI)with so many red specks in it that the poop looks red. I didn't eat anything even remotely red or orange for the past 4 days, not on any medication apart from boswellia, astaxanthin and probiotics. did anyone had something like that?

thanks Ipoop, apart from gas and moderate abdominal pain at night time I am ok, so I think should make an appointment and check for the blood

I was about to say it was probably astaxanthin, but wouldn't hurt to check it out anywho

Hello everyone, I know I've started this post a while back but wanted to give an update, the red colour was indeed astaxanthin, cause the poop returned to normal colour as soon as I stopped it.
I wanted to ask another question if that's ok - I have this dull pain for a few years in the upper left quadrant sometimes a few sharp cramps but mostly just heavy, dull ache that doesn't go away for weeks, no matter if I eat or not, then it goes away for a few days and comes back again (I can point with my finger the particular spot), I've asked avery doctor I've seen, CT is clear, blood only shows mild 112 amylase and eGER 84 out of the ordinary, noone seem to know or try to find out what it is. does anyone has an idea what other tests I should ask for because doctors not that interested

Thanks for response, John, I am kind of ticking them one by one and looks like it's either my pancreas or stomach playing up, the problem is it didn't show on CT and blood showing only mild abnormalities, I need to ask the doctor for some specific tests since they not that interested to find out the problem
