Hello, I have been trying to drink a glass of beetroot juice daily and I get unwell soon after I drink and stay that way all day long. This is very puzzling as I have searched internet and nothing but positive things are listed. My blood pressure is normal so I don't understand why this may be. Anybody had similar experience?

Any side effect from beetroot juice?
Hope you are staying away from it now that you know you are sensitive to it :). If i take a lot it gives me diarrhea, otherwise can't have it more than tiny bit anyways because it's not fodmap, a diet i need to follow.
I would try just drinking less, a shot glass worth a day and see how you feel after a week. If it continues try eating the precooked beetroot instead. It could be you are food sensitive to beets. X
Hi. Beetroot is high in oxalates which can irritate the gut and contribute to other issues. I am ok with small amounts, if cooked (which lowers the oxalate level) but can't eat too often or too much. Try cutting them out for a little while maybe and then starting again with a small amount. This mentions a bit about oxalates drbeckycampbell.com/oxalate... Cheers
Ah, so drinking so much beetroot juice might be an issue when taking some meds like Adcal I assume! x
Yes I would think so, although you could probably do both if you spaced them well apart, assuming no other issue with the beetroot!
Yes, I make sure that my Adcal is taken away from my Hydroxychloroquine etc and I take care not to indulge in spinach etc - I leave a two hour space either side but only know this from reading the blurb. x
Thank you very much for this information. I should have looked further before. I will stick to a small amount after a break! 😉
