Someone please confirm that red jelly stains poo!

[Chirpygirl]

DD2 had MMR yesterday so as a treat she had a big pot of red jelly. This morning her poo was tinged red all through it, please someone tell me it was the jelly and she isn't bleeding.
She is fine otherwise, slept through, feeding well, scarfed full breakfast etc etc

[guyFAwkesreQuiem]

don't know about red jelly - but I've found that other foods certainly colourd DS3's nappy (ie a chocolate mousse turns his poo very brown).........

[Chirpygirl]

I have to write on my calender when DD@s have blueberries as it freaks DH out to see blue poo!
She did have some beetroot crisps too, could that have done it?

[Chirpygirl]

Anyone? please? If I need to take her to docs I need to call now.

[mumof2222222222222222boys]

Beetroot does very strange things to poo and wee (MIL once panicked!) It is probably that - your crisps. I wouldn't panic.

[Chirpygirl]

Thanks, was prettysure it was something she had eaten but you never know.
beetroot is devils food so i have no idea what it does, it did turn her hands pink tho....

[girlandboy]

Beetroot is well known for sending everything pinky/red.

My mil gleefully tells me that dh's wee turned red because he was addicted to beetroot as a child.

just wait till you get your first glittery poo...

[guyFAwkesreQuiem]

of your first "you left the polystyrene packaging from something you bought in reach of your DC" poo - think poo with snow

[Fiveplusbump]

Or your first guesss who ate some starburst with the wrappers still on poo .Clear evidence to present to dp after he swore she hadn't had any at MILS .

When I was 5 I hid behind the sofa and scoffed a huge jar of pickled beetroots. My wee was red for days. My older sister told me that I was dying and I should give her all my piggy bank money before I karked it. I believed her. Hate beetroots now.

I once did a Christmas cake with dark blue icing and gold stars on it. The boys ate some and had bright green poo the day after. A couple of years later I made a space rocket cake - white rocket on dark blue background - for a birthday, and the next day all three told me gleefully that they were doing 'Christmas cake poos' again!

[Wallace]

LOL

even funnier, sunnygirl, because I read your post as you "did a POO with dark blue icing and gold stars on it"

[sunnygirl1412]

Now that would be an interesting trick - lololol Wallace!

[Rhubarb]

I'm sorry, "beetroot crisps"????????

[alarkaspree]

If you bought poncified red jelly it might even have been coloured with beetroot. So a double helping of red poo dye!

[trixymalixy]

definitely does stain poo red. we had a major panic when ds had red jelly for the first time!

[Chirpygirl]

Lol!
Thanks tho, Wasn't poncy jelly, was rowntrees finest!

And my mum bought a pack of vegetable crisps from Aldi when she was here, parnsip, sweet potato, beetroot and carrot. I gave her the beetroot ones as they were nasty looking, even DD1 wouldn't eat them.

I have witnessed playing card poo (the 4 of clubs, if you are interested), purple plasticine poo and have had glitter poo, slightly worrying when the only glitter in the hbouse is in the form of glitter glue.....

[Chirpygirl]

[bubblagirl]

i would say the beetroot is more your culprit my dad used to scare me as id go into the loo after hima nd the water would be red

i was convinced it was his prostate until he confessed to eating the whole jar of beetroot

my ds always had green poo doctor said as long as poo is black or white then dont worry to much black with red i should say

[summer111]

how about lipstick poo...that was an expensive snack

[Chirpygirl]

Waah, after examing DD2's poo all day, DD1 just pooed in the bath, and I had to scoop it out, ew, ick, bleurgh.

I have washed my hands about 5 times but I still feel unclean

[girlandboy]

Chirpygirl - you will now have to boil your hands for 20 minutes and finish off with bleach.

It's the only way
