Watermelon is also rich in red pigments, so large amounts of use may lead to red stool color.
Eating watermelon will make the stool red, this is a normal physiological reaction, because watermelon contains a lot of red pigments, such as lycopene and carotene, some people when a large number of watermelon consumption after the absorption of watermelon can not be broken down, metabolism of watermelon pigments will be excreted with the feces, so that the stool becomes red, but after stopping to consume watermelon, the color of the stool will return to normal.
If the color of stool remains red after stopping eating watermelon for 1~2 days, and there are symptoms such as dizziness, panic, cold sweat and blurred vision, it may be caused by bleeding in the digestive tract, and further examination is needed at this time.
If the patient eats watermelon after the discomfort symptoms, should go to the hospital in time, after the cause is clear to give standardized treatment.
