YES! There are several things that can turn your stool red, including beets and rhubarb. Occasionally after eating beets, stool can even be bright red. The phenomenon should pass within 24-48 hours, depending on the speed of your digestion.

Yes it can. It can add a reddish component to the stool, that looks like blood. Not to worry -- it goes away usually the next time you have a bowel movement.

Absolutely! I picked, cooked and ate about 10 beets out of my garden and the next day I thought I was urinating blood. It took about 2 days for all of it to get out of my system.
