A member asked:

Would watermelon pulp look like blood in stool? my 2 yo had some & has had red spots in his stool that resemble blood but i can pick them out. blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes/no: If concerned, you can take a diaper with the material to your pcp and a test can be run on the debris. Watermelon can pass through the kids system with little alteration of the color as can things like tropical punch (in the red of course).
