A member asked:
My stools are bright pinky red, with water turning pink. had beets on sun, it is now tuesday. could it be from the beets.?

Yes: Beets do change your stool's color to a pinkish red. It can take a couple of days for it to happen. If it looks like blood, or doesn't resolve within a day and you haven't eaten any beets since then, you should see a healthcare provider.
