Answers:
YES!.

Yes they do!.

Beets change the colour of your pee and your poop!. The exciting part is when you eat beets, three hours later you forgot you had beets, and you pee purple and you go oh my gaaaaa but then you remember, then you forget again and by morning you're pooping purple and freak out again!. I manage to do it every time I have beets (I guess I have no short term memory, hehe)

It is normal for beets to do that!. In fact, eating beets has really great effects on your health, they are very very good for you!. In addition to that, you can actually test how your system works: eat beets, and see how long it takes for the colour to appear in pee/poop!. That way, you'll know how long your body takes to digest things!.

To summarize: you're ok and there is nothing wrong!. Just normal reaction to beets :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I suppose it is possible that the milk and your lactose intolerance made the beets pass through your body before they were fully digested, leaving the color intact!. That may result in the beet coloring in your excrement, shall we say!. Don't quote me on this, I'm not really sure, but it is just my best guess of the situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
