Blood on stool

[user551]

Hi recently within the past week when I wipe I've been seeing small amounts of bright red blood. I changed my diet and it went away for 3 days. Then today when I wiped I saw a little bit again. Am I ok? Should I be worried? And could this be dehydration because I don't feel any other symptoms

Do you have hemorrhoids?  When they get irritated for any reason, whether from wiping too much, sitting too much, etc, they can bleed.

You should see your doctor because,  although it may not be a “concern”, rectal bleeding isn’t “normal”.  It needs to be checked out.
