Hello,

Pink color tissue in stool may be due to food color or additives or consumption of beetroot or water melon.

Pathological conditions like hemorrhoids or fissure or fistulas or colitis may cause blood in stool appear like this. Please consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
