    Default ALERT! Jucing carrots.....question about BMs

    I've been a little concerned this past week. I don't know if it is blood or if drinking a TON of carrot juice will do this, but my BMs have this pinkish orange tint coming off of them into the water - you know how if you have a cut and bleed underwater it floats in a stringy cloud? Will drinking a lot of carrot juice do that until my system is clean? I've not been 100% raw and have fallen off the wagon but have been doing better for the past couple weeks and I noticed this.

    I have not noticed any blood other than that cloudy tint coming off of the BMs.

    If this sounds normal, please put my mind at ease!!! I think I probably should do an enema but I've never done one or had one done before and it scares me!!!!

    What goes in, comes out ~ same color, different texture. How fun is that? Lil recycling machines we are.

    If it has an orange hue, then it's most likely the carrot juice. Blood in your stool will range from being bright red (bleeding low in your digestive tract, as with hemorrhoids) to black (bleeding in your stomach).

    OK good!!! Nothing has been bright red to black! :) The cloudy tint thing is what had me worried.....I'll just keep monitoring! :)

    Thanks!
