probably bacterial infection. Eat some yogurt, if you start [censored] blood go to a doctor. If the blood is bright red go within a day or two. If it is dark go ASAP.

I'd be a lot more worried about bright red blood than about darker looking blood, but I'd certainly get checked out for either one ASAP!

Bright red means it came from an area near your pooper. Dark red means it came from further up (I think it means the blood got partially digested on the way out...ew). That's the sort of situation where you can actually die.

Uh, no. Bright red blood can also mean a very rapid GI bleed from anywhere in the GI tract. That's what's really going to kill you. So, I'd be far, far more worried about seeing bright red blood than seeing blackish looking stools.
