Is it happening every time you eat beet root. Beets can cause beeturia, which is when urine turns red or pink. According to one study, this condition affects about 14 percent of the population. Having red or pink urine after ingesting beetroot is sometimes a symptom of an iron deficiency. So you can do a cbc from some lab to be sure.
