Not unless you've eaten anything of that color or with many spices. I know Flaming Hot Cheetos can turn your stools. So can maroon crayons! ^.^ If you haven't eaten anything out of the norm, get it checked out if it's more than one bm to be on the safe side.

No not normal. Could be from food coloring on a birthday cake or soft drink pepto bismal turns it black which is also the color of blood from the small intestine & stomach bleeding )(old blood).
Hemmoroids will give you fresh blood (red) and pain on defecation.
Go to a doc if the above does not apply. SOON and get tested
if you are over or around 50 years old you need a colonoscopy

While maroon colored stool is not normal, blood in the digestive tract will come out looking like coffee grounds. Odd colored stool can indicate a chemical imbalance in glands such as the thyroid though, so you should probably get it checked out. As long as you are not light headed, having stomach pains or having stool that looks like coffee grounds I wouldn't panic.

it depends on your definition of maroon. Blood in stool is black to dark red. Test kits for blood are available. If it is blood run, don't walk to nearest MD

Did you drink or anything red? If not, go to the doctor. Blood in your bowel movements is not a good thing.

If you ate tomatos then you should be fine. But it could be an infection so go see a Doctor or it could be somthing worse. it could be blood.
