A male asked:

Is having the carrot and other parts of vegetables from red group (pepper) in the stool normal? i don't have problem digesting the other kind of food.

Digestion: Seeing undigested or partially digested vegetables in your stool can be completely normal. I would not worry about it unless you are having other symptoms along with it. Good luck.
