Blood in the stools is NOT NORMAL. It could be due to Dysentery or bleeding along the gastrointestinal tract. Blood like substance does not necessarily mean that there is blood in the stools. Kindly see a doctor and let the stools be analyzed in the laboratory. If confirmed to be blood the underlying cause of the bloody stools will be further investigated and treated.
