Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. It is an usual thing to get pink stools after eating beet root. You don't have to worry about it. This is normal. It will get cleared after 2 or 3 bowel movements. Even urine also can have some color change after intake of beet root.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
