Does Boost Intake Cause Red Coloured Bowel Movement?

Can taking boost cause you to have like a reddish color stool. My daughter has medical issues but no blood in stools. She s 22 years old and drinks boost because she has been to many doctors for poor nutrition. Docs recommended to supplement boost along with trying other foods but really hasn t worked. Now she has the stomach virus and really all she s had is a cheese sandwich and boost earlier today. That all said, her reddish stools concern me

Some food colouring products can give discoloration to stools.
Stop Boost for a few days and notice for change in colour. If it remains then consult a doctor . if the red colour disappears, then you needn't worry,it's only food colouring.
