My stool color is reddish brown. Could eating watermelon affect the color of my stool? There are some foods that can cause reddish stool; however, watermelon should not drastically change your stool to a reddish color. You mentioned that you have no family history of colon cancer. You are also a woman over the age of 50.
If you are worried that what you are seeing is blood stop eating the watermelon for a few days. If you still see red, then you should contact your doctor. And do not listen to people who say that watermelon is pure water, that is not true at all. It can affect the color of your stool.
