A member asked:
Can anthocyanins change the colour of my child's poop' he ate 2 lollies containing it (red) and he's poo seems to have pink in for 2 days since ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Anything we ingest does indeed affect the color and appearance of our feces, and sometimes the appearance can be dramatic. I wouldn't worry unless the color change persists or there are other indications of illness such as diarrhea, fever, not eating, lethargy or abdominal pain.
