This is a long shot I know, but if anyone can point me at a photo of a urine stain caused by eating beetroot I'd be really grateful. A google search hasn't come up with anything definitive.

Thanks very much. :)
 
I can later as they have beetroot for dinner tonight :)) It turns the wee a kinda purple brown colour as are the poo's :)
 
No pictures here, but urine stains are anything from pink to a purply/rusty colour as they dry and oxidise. Poos will have a purplish tinge. The stains are pretty uniform in colour with a darker rim of the same hue.

Urine stains containing blood usually either have some discernable blood spots at the centre or a bloody rim, depending on the water : blood mixture.
