Question 1

can stool be red for 2 days after drinking beet juice?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, stool can be red for several days after drinking beet juice. If you have a reason to believe that the red is actually blood, have a fecal occult blood test with your primary care Dr. You can also try drinking golden beet juice instead as it does not have the same problem.

Question 2

Sure: Prunes help bulk the stool, allowing it to move easier through the intestines.

Question 4

my 5 yr old has had 2 lose stools today but says she feels fine and has been acting fine.. she.did drink 3 cups of juice and had a can of pears..?

Accepted Answer

Fruits...: , and juices can certainly loosen the stool. The two real problems at this point are: (1) juices are useless - juice is just fruit with everything good thrown out, and (2) canned fruits usually have extra sugar added. I'd recommend fresh (whole, peeled or mashed) fruits only, no cans and no juices.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Food pigments can make it to the stool.

Question 6

Stool: Black stool could be from something you ate. However it could also be blood that has come from your upper GI tract. See your doctor and get a definitive diagnosis. Good Luck

Question 7

i believe you can drink grape juice on coumadin, (warfarin) but is it safe to drink welches 100% purple grape juice?

Accepted Answer

Probably: This question is often asked with regards to any food or drink.   All you have to know is keep your diet consistent and follow-up for mandatory blood monitoring.  If you decide to alter your diet, make sure that Vit K intake stays consistent otherwise your levels fluctuate.  So, if you have been drinking it then yes it's fine.  If you haven't, drink a small amount occasionally until level checked.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

No: No it does not. A black stool may result from GI bleeding. Contact your doctor now.

Green stools: This could result from rapid transit of feces through the intestines, or from food colorings such as in licorice., consuming iron-rich foods or iron supplements, or leafy green vegetables, taking laxatives, and if with other intestinal symptoms it can result from irritable bowel or intestinal infections. If no symptoms, no worries.
