Hello,
Please do not worry. It is well known that beets can produce a red colour in the stool.
Do not eat anything from beets for several days and see if the red colour goes away. If it dies not, please return to Ask a Doctor right away!
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Arnold Zedd, Pediatrician
