A member asked:
I ate about a big beet and 2 hours later the toilet was red? i have only really been eating veg and fruit? it seemed to pass quickly? normal?

Probably Normal: If it was a one time event to have the red color in the toilet, and it was soon after eating the beet, it could certainly be from the natural coloring in the beet. It is worth mentioning at your next regular check up but for a single time, it is unlikely to be anything but the coloring from the beet. Also, bright red is generally a sign of hemorrhoids that a more serious problem.
