What Causes Reddish Orange Stool In Infants?

My daughter is 3 years old and just had a diaper that had red-ish orange stool. She has been drinking different flavors of red kool-aid for about 2 days and I was wondering if that would cause this or if I need to get her to a doctor to get checked out to see if it s blood.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thank you for your query. I understand your concern, she has normal bowel movement.Color of stool depends from pigments, flavours in the food. I suggest-
-Avoid following up food
-Observe some days,i think it will be normal
-If baby has diarrhea then she has frequent stool.
Just don't worry.
Take care
Wishing your baby and you good health.
