Does eating too many strawberries cause red stool? no pain, but stool is red tinted in parts. should i worry or do i just eat less berries? i eat a pack with my lunch most days so i assume that's the cause, just checking to be careful?

Possibly . : Yes , many strawberries can cause red stools if taken in significant amounts . The important issue is to make sure it is only the color and not blood which would need to be checked out by a doctor. You might try stopping the berries and see if the red color disappears . However , if it persists , I would advise getting evaluated for blood in the stool , which can arise from various causes.
