Margarita May 2020 12:57pm, 29 May 2020 133 posts	Quote Pin Margarita That eating beetroot makes urine pink! It's even got a name - beeturia. Only found out after I called GP! I was mortified for being a time waster, but she seemed to find it amusing!

If you'd ended up having a 'scope either into your bladder or your bowel because of beetroot, you wouldn't have been the first. [I learned about beeturia by experience as a small child; I loved pickled beetroot and once I discovered it gave you pink peepee I did it on purpose.]
