Brief Answer:
It’s normal and caused by the cranberry juice!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this change in the color of urine and all the inconveniences this must have caused you. I have reviewed this information and it is hard to say whether you could be having a bladder infection or not. However, bladder infection present with frequent urination and pain below the belly button. As for the change in urine color, this is caused by the cranberry juice. It is no reason to panic. This will slowly get clear.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
