It's definitely the beets. The same thing happens to me when I eat them. The first time it happened, I had that same moment of pure panic. :yikes: I thought for sure I was going to have to rush right over to the ER. Luckily I remembered eating the beets before I actually got in the car. I would have been mighty embarrassed if I had actually gone to the ER--not too mention how to explain the whole thing to my insurance company! :o

Since then, I've tried to stick with mostly golden or orange beets. They are much less traumatic.

That is a great idea! It's just so funny that pickled or canned beets never do that to me, but fresh beets made me think that I was suddenly dying...lol.

Am I the only one who wants to try this after reading this thread? LOL

I have been making green smoothies every day and my poo is green. :D

Oh sure, the stuff you eat will effect the color and texture of your BMs. Don't stop eating beets though, they are hugely good for you!
