My stool color is reddish brown. Could eating watermelon affect the color of my stool?

Can Watermelon Cause Red Stool? Although the chances of your stool turning red from consuming watermelon are extremely low because of the sheer amount you would have to eat, it is in theory possible.

Most of the time, dark stool such as the color red, is due to consuming foods such as blueberries as well as iron supplements.
