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.
Remember that certain foods can cause a change in stool color. Food coloring, leafy vegetables, and even beets can tint stool different colors. This is normal. For example, eating leafy green veggies like kale or spinach could give your stool a green color, and eating beets could potentially turn stool a reddish color. This shouldnât be cause for alarm, especially if youâve recently eaten these foods. Only rarely is red stool a serious indicator of an issue in the intestine.
