Hi there,
If your symptoms started after taking this red drink, its likely related to the drink your consuming. If you are over 50, or have any family history of colon cancer, you should have a colonoscopy and this may be a good time to have one. If you're under 50, I'd recommend stopping the drink and seeing if your bowel movements go back to their normal color.
I hope this is helpful. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
