Recently I have had large, bright red matter in my stool. I have not eaten anything resembling these chunks. It does not appear to be blood. I do not have any pain or discomfort during bowel movements. I've been having diarrhea for the last few days. I haven't been out of the country since August 2007. I had a baby 2 1/2 months ago. I think they could be parasites, but I am traveling (in the US) right now and do not have a GP. Also, no insurance. I would prefer not to go to a doctor or nurse practioner if possible. Thanks.
