Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
Beets consumption can cause urine discoloration or reddish / dark urine. This will be gone in a day or two. In the meantime drink plenty of water around 2-3 liters. If the urine discoloration persists for more than 3 days I would suggest getting a urinalysis to check for blood in the urine.
