Crystal Light - Kind of Gross Question

I have a question for all the post-ops. I am 13 days post-op and since I was getting sick of the water, I started drinking Crystal Light Strawberry Orange Banana. I've only drank about 20oz of it. I noticed twice last night and this morning that every time that I have a BM (I still am very loose) it comes out black and red. When I flush toilet all the water turns red. There is also red on the tiolet paper. How can I tell if this is blood or the dye from the crystal light (red 40 is one of the last ingredients but I didn't have this problem with red jello)? I did notice this morning that when I woke up I was quite weak. I go to see the surgeon on Tuesday to have my staples removed. Should I be concerned? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
