A member asked:
My 3 yo has orange urine today. he is getting over a cold and i've been giving him a supplement with carrot root and vitamins. could that be why?

Yes: Extra vitamins and carotene get passed in the urine and sometimes color it deep yellow and perhaps orange. If there is no other complaint such as pain with urination, straining, crying with urination, then you can just watch and see if the urine clear up after you stop giving him the supplements. If it clears, then you can safely give the vitamins again if you wish

Yes, possibly: Possible reasons for orange urine include eating lots of foods high in beta carotene such as carrots or ingesting high doses of vitamin B2 or C.
