A member asked:
Hi. lately when i have bowel movements they are a reddish color and i'm not bleeding from my rectum. why is my stool turning red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red color: can come from red foods, such as beets or red dye. You need to make sure that it is not blood mixed with stool. Have your doctor test stool for occult blood.
