Hello
Thank you for asking the question.
Your baby had taken Bert root juice is very good.
After taking beet root juice if stool showing red appearance then no need to worry. It is due to beet root intake which change the colour of stool.
If there is frank blood then immediately consult a doctor to rule out the cause.
Hope this will helpful to you.
