What does it mean if you lay some cable with red bits in - but haven't eaten anything red in the last 2 days?

You're a hungry electrician ?

If you bleed in most of your digestive tract you digest the blood, all that remains is the iron which gives you black stools. If your red is blood it is coming from the last bit of your digestive system so could be haemmeroids.

Have you eaten any red birthday cake recently? My daughter had blue poo once..... Took a while to figure out it was caused by blue birthday cake

Got to get some of that, be good for a laugh!

yup, brucie's right, if it's fresh, bright red blood, it's likely to be your Chalfonts (St Giles.... aka Piles)......

I once freaked my parents out by shitting purple, due to drinking some rip-off brand of Ribena instead of the pukka stuff...

I hope that was when you were a littlun, and that they are not regular "checkers"

Does it hurt?

If by red bits you mean blood clots then it may be anything from haemorrhoids, infective, inflammatory bowel or the big C. If any change in bowel habit, weight loss, abdominal pain then you should see your GP now.
