hi,as you told you gave your baby veg porridge containing beetroot ,carrot and all.if it has happened first time then it is normal just bcause of beetroot and all.but if is happening frequently and if its flakes of blood kind thing then consul any pediatrician.otherwise its normal..the colour of stool depends sometime on you food habits.u asked the symptoms of indigestion..that is abdominal pain,loose stools..may be sometimes vomiting etc.
