Bowel movement looked dark red. soft stool diarrhea. no blood on tissue though. is this serious? 22 y. o. female. 1st time it's happened.

What you ate?: The most common reason for stools that look like this in young people is something that they ate. Beets are a big offender, as is food colored red. Iron supplements can make stools look black. Could this be going on?
