Hey..
So I'm 21 weeks pregnant & yesterday morning I woke up with loose stools , normal colour etc. Carried on with my day. Went to a bbq in eve n didn't fancy much so I have salad with a good bit of beetroot & one mini sausage with chorizo in.

Within 5/6 hrs after after Home my stomach was churning again so went loo n my poop was all red. It was like it has been dyed. N still have loose stools this morning n still red..???

Could this be beetroot or something I should be worrying about???
I'm freaking out!!!

Thanks

Yes, it's the beetroot.

Obviously if it remains red then get checked out. But it would be quite a coincidence to randomly develop internal bleeding on the same day you ate beetroot.

We all once had green poop after eating a cake with black icing on it, it can be quite disconcerting!
