This topic is about a situation where someone noticed their stoma output was bright red after irrigation and was concerned it might be due to internal bleeding. However, they later remembered eating beetroot, which likely caused the red color. Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Eating beetroot can turn your stoma output red, which might be mistaken for blood. It's a good idea to think about what you've eaten recently before worrying too much.

2. Other foods or candies with red coloring, like red jelly beans, can also cause a similar effect.

3. While food dyes are often the reason for red output, if you experience persistent or painful bleeding, or if you're unsure, it's important to seek medical advice, as true bleeding can be serious.
