What should I do if my child's stool contains blood and a piece of meat the size of a fingertip?

Patient's question:

What is the reason for blood and a piece of meat the size of a fingertip?
Previous treatment and effectiveness: I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of my stool and was told it was nothing serious. They prescribed a box of probiotics.
What kind of assistance do you need: How should it be treated, and what kind of detailed examination should be done at the hospital?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, consider the child's diet, such as consuming blood-containing foods, which may lead to black stools again. If the intake is high and absorption is poor, dark red stools may occur. Additionally, some snacks contain dyes that can also change the color of the stool. If the child has poor digestion and eats jelly, the stool may resemble a meatball.
Advice: The hospital has already conducted a thorough examination and found no abnormalities. Therefore, there is no need to be overly concerned. It is recommended to arrange the child's diet reasonably and avoid or limit snack consumption. If similar symptoms reappear, it is advisable to have the child examined by the hospital again.
