Do tomatoes and tomato products ( spaghetti sauce, pizza etc) cause a reddish tint to your stool?

They can.
The first time I ate Fruity Pebbles after takedown, my poop was neon green!
Each time I go to the bathroom, it can be a different color. I recently ate veggie chips, forgetting there was beet chips in there, and I thought I was bleeding, until I remembered.

Oh yeah, red Gatorade2. I thought I was bleeding to death.
Rachel,
I had the same veggie chips last week...I almost called the ambulance! The first time I emptied my pouch I freaked out, the 2nd time I thought that I had torn something...it took til the 3rd time for me to remember those darn beet chips.
By the way licorice, jelly beans, all of those gummies and just about anything that has food colouring..including icing (darn red cupcakes!)...
In the begining you may need to keep a log of foods you eat...just to prevent panic.

Ok. I am going to go ahead and ask this question. Sometimes, particularly in the morning I have very very pale stool. Almost white, sort of light yellow. I keep telling myself it's psyllium but I do wonder. Any thoughts?
