I'm not really sure if this is the place to post this, and I'm sorry for my first post being a question, but this kind of worries me a little.
Anyway, I've been working out for about two months now (getting ready for the academy!). Every now and then, the area around my anus gets itchy, like I didn't wipe enough or something. I go to wipe, and there is orange-red stuff there. It goes away after a few wipes, but I'm not sure if it is blood or not. I haven't had any blood in my stool, and when I have a BM before or after this occurrence, it is normal. I'm not sure what this is, but I have no associated symptoms (dizziness, light-headedness, nausea/vomiting, etc), and it has only happened three times.
Has this happened to anyone here?
By the way, I have been eating a lot of tomato soup and tomatoes recently, which my doctor says can sometimes turn your stool orange.
