On Sunday just gone, I was out at a fair day. I was hungry so ended up eating two bags of vegetable crisps. They were organic. Beetroot, carrot and parsnip was what i ate. Later in the evening of the same day, I went to the bathroom and noticed my water works were light pink in the bowl. I panicked a bit and thought maybe it was the beetroot crisps. Went to the bathroom sometime later and all was fine. The whole of Monday, went to the bathroom and everything normal. This Tuesday morning, I went to the bathroom and my waterworks were a darker pink. It shocked me. I have no pain, no burning, no discomfort. I am fine. But I am really scared I have something really bad. I went to the bathroom again sometime after to check and my water works normal colour. I am scared to see it again.
I suffer from health anxiety and I cannot sleep cos this has upset me so. I have gone on to google search and I am not liking what I have read.
I feel like crying ...

Definitely the crisps. Happens to me every time. Doesn't happen when I eat cooked beetroot, I think the colour must be more concentrated in the crisps. Best wishes.

Made me think of this clip from family guy. The quality is awful I'm afraid

Is it the first time you've ate beetroot before? Lots of my family members have pink wee after eating beetroot. Strangely enough I'm the only person I know whom it doesn't happen to. Although peas...........

I have eaten beetroot many times but never had this experience.

I think you may well be right. Everything has been normal since those two incidences. They were something like bio organic mixed vegetable crisps, beetroot carrot and parsnip. They were really nice. But after this, I won't be buying them again! Thanks for your reply. You did put my mind at ease.
