Ok, I personally quit eating watermelon because it gave me horrible gas from hell, and diarrhea. Even if the
red stuff is bright pink, (not black or tar like) then the worst it could be is a hemroid. There is some color
after eating WM, wait until your system has removed all of it, then eat something like oats or whole grain
food and see if it does not clear up. Even if it was bright red blood its not to worry about just keep clean.

Hi AS,

Sorry to hear what happened. I agree with Larry. You should wait until your it clears up from your system and eat something like he suggested. You can also drink water to help flush out your system.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yep...I have had this. I tend to overdo it on the watermelon. It is so good, and seasonal and all...

...but yes, I am often sorry soon afterward...if fact, I'd say you are lucky you made it until the next day;p

Hope you are better now.

Are you having normally formed stools? If so, then don't worry about it.

If you are having pain/cramps/diarrhea, then it could just be IBS that was triggered by the watermelon...if that is the case, then you know you will need to avoid this food for awhile.:(

I hope that you are feeling okay, and that you can let the worry go...you are going to be fine.

If you eat enough watermelon your feces can turn red, just like with eating beets. ... your body may not digest all of the pulp and you might see some in your stool. I have had the same thing with strawberrries.  Don't fret on this one as each person digests their food at a different rate. I suspect you are going to be just fine but remember, I am not a Dr.

AS, listen, this stuff is rough on the system, when cattle or other animals get into a watermelon patch
they get in bad shape and sometimes need a vet, their stomachs are different than ours they have 7
and gas can really hurt them. you are going to be ok. cut yourself some slack, get some rest.
