My stool color is reddish brown. Could eating watermelon affect the color of my stool? There are some foods that can cause reddish stool; however, watermelon should not drastically change your stool to a reddish color. You mentioned that you have no family history of colon cancer. You are also a woman over the age of 50.
Diet can also effect stool color. Green vegetables, such as spinach and broccoli can cause green stool, and foods containing green food coloring can yield the same result. Just as often though, other food colors can have the same impact. Purple drinks are a particular culprit, especially in young children.
