Evening all, back in March when I joined this amazing group you guys did say that I could ask anything!!! So here goes ( sorry in advance)

I’ve brought some strawberries to make a nice smoothie. Problem is I know that berries can turn your urine a reddish colour… my dilemma is this. If I make the smoothie and it turns my urine red ( even though I know it will be because of the strawberries) I’m worried that I will freak out!,

im reading this and thinking how stupid I look but I know myself and the overthinking will be kicking in… ( sorry again)

To be honest I didn't know strawberries turn your wee red. I certainly know that beetroot can turn your poo red which can have the same split second panick lol.

I would say go for it, just try to remember you've had a smoothie.

No stupid questions on here so certainly don't worry about that or being judged.

Hi Nigel. I have regular smoothies with red and dark berries and never noticed any difference in my pee. if you are worried you can always have some dipsticks at hand to make sure no blood. Best wishes.

Best wishes to All, rily.

Cheers guys, come to think of it, it was before I was diagnosed so maybe it was blood at the time…

love to all Nigel
