Bloody Poo?

After talking with my Dad tonight about a recent encounter he had I felt it important to share these bits of info with all of you readers...whoever you are:
1. Your poop can turn black after taking Pepto Bismol. So can your mouth, gums, lips, teeth, tongue. Taking iron pills (for anemia) also makes your poop black. So if you have black poop it could be from internal bleeding, but think first about if you've taken any Pepto recently. :)
2. Beets make your poop red. So again, before assuming internal bleeding, think about beets.
3. Asparagus can make your piss stink.
Just thought you should know these things so that you don't ever find yourself with a doctor's finger up your bum when really all you need to do is think about what you've eaten in the last 48 hours. Hopefully helpful information!

Hahaha, Jenny!

Those are funny. I'm proud to say that I knew all of those. I'm not one to go to the doctor looking for a probe into the rear hatch anyway though.

We had a mishap with BLUE poop once. I think it was my niece. It took us all day to figure out it was the coloring in the frosting from the birthday cake. I guess poop exiting the body can be a lovely array of all different colors, depending on what it looks like at the entry point.

Thanks for the info!
