I was wondering something....I went to the bathroom a little while ago, and I noticed a black chunk in my stool (just one), and then some red chunks - which looked like tomato pieces or whatever....I was wondering - I've been trying to change my diet to a healthier and less amount at the same time from what I had been doing. I was hoping this black chunk is simply from eating (in order from yesterday): BREAKFAST: a breakfast burrito with sausage in it;LUNCH: a double-meat burger from whataburger; and some sirloin burger with country vegetables stew for my late-day/supper meal....I think this isn't something to worry about but I'd like to make sure. the rest of my stool was a brownish-greenish color (prob. b/c I didn't really need to go after all when I went at that time) this is just a chunk in one of the "pieces"; also, how safe are the LiveRite LiverAid, or Colon Cleanse OTC things to take? and, is there any diet plans for making sure my insides will stay in good order?

THERE IS SOMETIMES SOME BRIGHT RED BLOOD ON THE PAPER ONLY....BUT NOT EVERYTIME I WIPE AND NOT AT EVERY "SITTING"; I THINK IT'S JUST A HEMMOROID, SINCE MY GRANDFATHER USED TO HAVE THEM AND SO DID MY DAD AT TIMES WHEN SITTING A LOT; I SIT A LOT AT MY JOB....

I DON'T THINK ANYONE IN MY FAMILY HAS EVER HAD COLON CANCER

THIS HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN I ATE THESE FOODS...

I HAVEN'T USED ANY COLON CLEANSERS YET - THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING I WAS ASKING ABOUT TO SEE IF THEY'RE SAFE TO USE

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND ANY OTC FIBER STUFF, OR IS JUST SIMPLY A MATTER OF EATING MORE WHEAT BREAD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

You can try more fruits and vegatables, but metamucil is always a good option (but it tastes terrible), Fibercon is a capsule which would also work well. The best result are with Konsul (which is like metamucil), not sure if OTC though.
