Can Eating Beetroot Cause Stomach Cramps And Bloating?

Hi, I had about a tablespoon and a half of a no tomato 'tomato' sauce based BBQ sauce about 5hrs ago and have had bad stomach pain, bloating, and gas. The 'tomato' sauce was mad with carrots, sweet potatoes, garlic, & beets. I have tried to come up with different things since I am allergic to tomatoes. Is this just a reaction to the beets? I have not had beets in over 20 years so it is the only thing that was different in my diet. Thank you.

Hi,

I have read your problem.

Yes its all due to beat root which causes you stomach cramps and bloating.

Try to avoid these beetroots in future, because you body does not accept it in future also, as seen in many patients.

You can try some other sauces in market.

I hope you have get your answer.

Thanks.
