Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yesterday, I passed along the advice that 2 cups of beet juice could lower BP. Yesterday afternoon, I drank 2 cups of Biota beet juice. Well, guess what? In the evening, I had horrible intestinal cramping and reddish diarrhea, not to mention that the juice stained my urine a lovely pale fuchsia pink. Guess the label was right: it said the juice was for cleansing and fasting. Then I read drink 1 cup, not 2. My advice is to drink only 1/2 cup after that episode, and drink lots of water and eat along with it. I took Pepto-Bismol, soda crackers, chamomile tea, and a heating pad to bed and slept it off. Sometimes, you can have too much of a good thing. Nothing else I ingested could have caused this. Today, bowels are normal. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
