    Sounds like he has bloddy stool. He should go to the doctor.

    It could be a number of things really. Beets can cause red stool, taking iron supplements can cause this also.

    If it is bright red blood it is usually internal or external hemorrhoids, if it is dark, then that is something that needs to be checked out.

    Maybe he ate allot of some food with red food coloring in it?

    Maybe, I think I'm going to ask him about that. He said if it happens again he is going ot check it out but he is to hard heaed to check it now.

    It means internal bleeding. It doesn't need the hospital if it goes away after a day or two. If it stays for more then a week call a doctor just in case...
