    Hi Maureen

    I wanted to share a remarkable discovery I made with beets. I read how beneficial beets are for digestion and inflammation so I boiled some up and ate them and they totally helped the pressure I was feeling in my lower abdomen. Now every time I get that pressure in my lower left side I eat beets. Just thought I would share. Hope it helps you too and anyone else following this discussion.
