Hi,
I really appreciate your concern, if it is the beetroot and carrot eaten then it for sure changes the color of stool according to their own color like you noticed and it is not the disease condition or anything went wrong with body system, and no need to worry about this.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
