Reddish/Orange Piece Of Poop In Diarrhea. Anyone Else Ever Have This Happen? (Photos Incld.)

WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS AHEAD

So first, let me just go ahead & apologize in advance for the gross factor- but I've now had this happen a total of 3 times in the last year. I already have appt. scheduled, but it's not for another 3wks. & I'm really stressed out over what this might be caused from..

I have had this show up in the toilet, each time was during a bout of Diarrhea, only one piece of stool looks like this- everything else looks like 'normal' diarrhea. There is no blood in my stools either, but the color of this looks like a red-orange color. I have inspected it & it has a white 'powdery' type of substance in the center. I had this happen once a few months ago, then again last night when I had diarrhea & then again tonight I had diarrhea again & it happened AGAIN. The first time it happened, I thought maybe it was just a piece of food that didn't get fully digested, but now that it's happened again (2 nights in a row) & only happening during a bout of diarrhea, I'm just getting scared & so confused. It doesn't resemble anything I've eaten, so I don't know if this is just what food can look like during part of the digestive process- OR is it a sign of something serious? I have already shown signs of IBS, which is part of the reason for the upcoming appt. in 3 weeks, but none of my research has shown anything like this as a related possibility. I also have Endometriosis, but again, I don't see any correlation there either. Anyone else experience something like this or have ANY IDEA what might cause something like this? Please, any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!!
