Raw beets irritate my throat
Has this happened to anyone? I ate this big raw red beet that I grew
for too long in my garden. It irritates my throat. I dunno if it's just this beet or all of them. Maybe it's just this one. Is this irritation due to enzymes in the beet? Has this happened to anyone else? It seems similar to when I hurt my tongue from the enzymes in a pineapple, although that was worse than the beet. |
Raw beets irritate my throat
Get a blood test to see what you are allergic too. Meanwhile you might
want to cut raw beets out of your diet :) Also - sometimes nutritionally deficient individuals have painful tongues like that with certain foods. See if the feeling goes when you stop eating the beets and if it doesn't, get a tibc blood test to see if your iron stores are low and a cbc blood test to see if you might have an infection (oncoming thrush, etc) Hope this help any! |

Not a good thing to have this reaction to these foods when you are a vegetarian (!) but at least the anti-histamines stop the irritation. Cooked veg and fruit I'm fine with (and nuts if they're roasted), just can't have them in their raw state without the allergy meds. Try Googling 'contact urticaria caused by food'. Tracey |

The foods I am sensitive to don't actually effect me in any life-threatening way like somebody with a nut allergy might be effected, they just irritate the inside of my mouth. Tracey |
