I ate pink food coloring and now my stool is a redish pink?

Color in stools: You poop what you eat! some food colors will make your stool different color. Some colors are naturally in the stool so those will not necessarily make you take notice, but pink, red will definitely do it. Avoid that to see that it clears up. As long as you have no other symptoms you should be okay!
