Many reasons: Red stools can be very concerning or not a problem at all. Blood is red and blood in the stools is not a good thing. For this reason, red stools should be evaluated by a doctor immediately. It's possible that something (not particularly concerning) like food coloring might be the reason but red stools should be evaluated for blood immediately.
