Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As the altered color of urine is in relation with fruit intake, this seems more likely due to the excretion of components of that rather than blood in urine.
However, I recommend a urine microscopy for final evaluation and care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
