A member asked:
What does it mean if the color of stool has been red for the past two weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: Red stool can be due to GI bleeds, medications with red dyes (like amoxicillin) and many foods (beets, cranberries, red peppers, tomatoes & drinks/foods with red dye).
