A member asked:
Could smarties and other red candies cause red in stool? daughter has eaten them within last bowel movement could that be the cause of the red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: The only way to tell for sure is to have her stool checked for blood. Alternatively avoid red coloured candy and fluids and see if it resolves. All the best.
