A member asked:
For the last 3 days been exp orange/red stools off/on. also been eating bright pink/red sugar cookies with red sugar crystals. monitor or worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Monitor: Please speak to your doctor about this. Sometimes red stools can be from food dye or medication, but not always. Your doctor can do a test to detect blood in the stool. Good luck.
