Eat amaranth stool will be red

Amaranth, also known as green amaranth, is a cold green vegetable. It has the effects of invigorating qi, clearing heat and detoxifying. It is rich in dietary fiber and can promote gastrointestinal motility. Therefore, it has the effect of relieving constipation. Amaranth contains a lot of anthocyanins, so the color of amaranth can be purple. Because it is rich in plant pigments, it can be expressed as soup color when eating, but eating amaranth will not make stools turn red. If red stools indicate the presence of hematochezia, the cause of hematochezia can be from the upper digestive tract or from the lower digestive tract, where hemorrhoids, anal fissures or intestinal diseases occur.
