A member asked:
Will red juices, sodas, or jello turn my poop red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Red foods including peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, beets may discolor stool. Most red sodas, jello have artificial colors, get metabolized and/or out through kidneys, not colon. Red stool often from blood (even if painless) in rectum, lower colon; maroon stool often from blood higher up in colon. Any doubt- see doc.
