Could Darker Yellow Urine Today Despite Drinking Water Be Related To Recent Diarrhea, Kaopectate, Or Diet?

Today, I have darker than normal yellow urine. This just happened today. I ate a steak & cheese sandwich last week and got diarrhea and took Kaopetate a couple of times. Last Saturday I had a hamburger and had diarrhea . I took Kaopetate and now for some reason today my urine is a darker yellow and normally pale. . I drink water and it lightens and after that the color is back a darker yellow.I also took Mucinex a few times this week but it did not change my urine color. All day today I had about 5 16 oz waters and the it goes light yellow but in between the water it is back darker
