A Nasty Surprise.
Permalink  

Last week I had a very worrying experience. In the morning I went for my usual once a day bowel motion.

Looking down into the cistern the result was dark red to black color & the water was bright red.

Panicking I instantly thought that I had stage 3 bowel cancer.

I didn't say anything about it to my wife hoping that the next day would be back to ''normal''.

The next morning it was still the same but before I could say anything my wife said to me ''my poop is purple'', which made me think.

Hang on, we'd been to a fresh produce store at a nearby market garden & we'd roasted two fresh beetroot with our lamb roast.

It was with a sense of relief that I read on the internet about BEETURIA. Luckily our urine didn't turn red.

We're both back to ''normal'' now, it lasted 2 days for me & 3 days for my wife.

No more bl**dy roast beetroot for us!!!!

We have a fair bit of beetroot so no surprises. Grated carrot & beetroot with some lemon juice & olive oil makes a nice alternative salad.

 

Asparagus gives one a shock when you have forgotten you have eaten it.

Looks like something the Betoota news should be on to.

I used to run heaps for enjoyment and sports training. Read about a local Olympic steeplechase runner here in Adelaide and his training regime where he would drive his body so hard he would cough and vomit blood from his lungs being tortured.

One morning after a run I had bright red urine! 

Thankfully I realised that I had not ever & did not ever wish to drive myself that hard AND that a favourite snack was to soak a slice of bread in beet root vinegar from our home crop. I had partaken of such the night before my usual Saturday a.m. 10 mile jaunt.

Phew!

Tinned beetroot in a salad or on a sandwich has no effect on both of us.
A small whole roasted beetroot each sent our systems into technicolour.

 I think it was one of the Tour de France riders years ago lost a section of his bowel. He had driven his body so hard that some of the bowel didn't get enough blood supply & died, so it had to be cut out.
