Ketchup/tomato sauce in stool?

Hi everyone!

So last night and the past few nights I’ve been eating a decent amount of ketchup with my dinner because I like dipping veggies in ketchup. This morning I went to the bathroom and had a very very small amount of red in one part of my stool. None when I wipe. I was wondering if this could be the ketchup I had since I tend to eat it so much? My family does have a history of ibs as my brother has it, my mom has it, and so does my twin sister. Thank you in advance!

Apparently it is  quite common for bits of tomato skin to be found in stool. I think there is something about tomatoes.

Hi cassidy, monitor it, I think it could be the ketchup because I occasionally get this sort of thing if I eat tonnes of ketchup too, may be eat less? Good luck, now you've spotted it it will hopefully be OK.😊

It could be the ketchup if you eat a lot of it.  Try curting it out of your diet for a while to see if your stools go back to normal.
