Ok..I really wasn't sure where else to post this and I hope that someone else might be able to sympathize with me...
So I found a beautiful bundle of fresh beets at my local co-op this week. I took them home and debated on how to cook them, but in the end I didn't want to lose the natural yumminess of the beets so I decided to simply roast them and serve the slices on top of a green salad with some good quality gorgonzola. Yes, the salad was like heaven in my mouth, so that isn't the problem...lol.
The problem came the next morning when I had my normal *ahem* bowel movement. It was bright red and freaked me out beyond belief. Now I have recently been dealing with some mild health problems and this was just another issue that practically had me running to the emergency room. I remembered the beets and decided to wait it out. But, I ate the salad on Friday and it is now sunday and my poo is still dyed red. It probably doesn't help that I ate a handful of blueberries today. *facepalm*
Anyway, my question is: Has anyone else experienced this problem and about how long does it last? Feel free to laugh, because I find the situation hilarious, but I would like to know about how long the beets can continue to torment my mild hypochondria...lol.
