reddish...?

would eating lots of beets/borscht possibly make your urine more pink tinged or reddish than yellow? I'm still in the middle of my pill packet so I shouldn't be menstruating (but I was on depo for a while, so my cycle's a little screwy) Or is this somethign I should be worried about? there wasn't any pain or anything

 

Could be bad.

 

I would think that beets could definitely do that...since their coloring is so strong,it makes sense that it could show up in your urine.

 

Yeah beets will do it.

 

maybe u should go to a doctor? Beets may tinge it a little but should do it enough that you should notic it and be worried?

Im not sure, but when in doubt get it checked out.

LOL god im cheesy

 

beets turn my pee purple for about 6 hours.

 

I once ate about 2 cans of shoe string beets and took a crap in the morning and it was red... I thought I was dying and cried and cried and wondered if I should go to the dr. right away.


My husband finally convinced me it was the beets and it has never happpened again. But damn, I was totally freaked out!

 

aha, I think it was the beets afterall. It only happened twice, and since there was no pain I don't think it's worth seeing the doctor over. I may call a clinic to see if a nurse can let me know yay/nay whether it's doctor worthy, just to be safe. Most clinics aren't easy to get to from my place for some odd reason

 

if it happens again go and ask your doc for some kidney function tests, even if it doesnt go and get them done anyway.

its only a blood sample it wont hurt ir anything

 

yesh, reddishes ken tint yar piddle poiple.

 

good trick at parties.......

 

if you drink tons of grape gatorade the day before st. patty's day, you'll shit bright green...

 

Or liquid chlorohyll...grape gatorade will turn shit bright green, huh? Who would'a thunk....I'd think it would be bright purple! :H

 

I'm both curious and terrified at how you came to this conclusion...

 

it's a short and terribly uninteresting story...
