Can red poo last for a day or two after you eat beets?!


Question: Yes. The first time it happened to me I thought I was bleeding to death. I talked to a radiologist about it and he said it happened to him. He was using a hospital bathroom and he got an aide to guard the door while he got an occult blood kit to check it. Then it dawned on him that it was beets.

Yes it can! I used to grow my own beets...love the little buggers! I ate a bunch one night and the next two days thought I was bleeding to death! Thank goodness for my mother in law asking me what I had eaten the previous days....beets....lol!

Yes, the dye stays in your system a few days

No...you are dying. Seek medical help immediately.

I'm going to make beets tonight and freak out my boyfriend :)

Yes it surely can!!
