Brief Answer:
Rhubarb can be the cause
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,
Rhubarb can cause pinkish red stools but this should only persist for another day or two.
If it persists longer than that then you need to exclude the presence of blood in stool by a stool analysis.
I hope I answered your question, let me know if I can assist you further.
