When I wipe, there is no blood on the towel and I know usually with hemorrhoids it should be bright red when you wipe. I did have one big slice of beet,and red beans like two days ago, could that cause the coloring of the mucus lining around the BM to be reddish? My stomach makes alot of noise and i have to rock side to side to usually start of my BM. I have been drinking alot of water and eatting salad. Should i just keep monitoring it or go to the doctor asap?
