Simple...can juiced beets transit through the digestive tract in five-hours. i juiced, drank, and 5 hours later my stool was red, is this the beets?

Probably: Simple- yes, it can transit the GI tract in 5 hours and yes, beet juice commonly causes red stools. Can't say with complete certainty it was the juice but seems very likely. If red stool persists take sample to Dr. for testing.
