Beets do make you poop.

Beets contain fiber and the fiber in the beets adds bulk to your poop.

As a result of the bulk being added to your poop from the fiber in the beets, it helps prevent constipation by promoting regular bowel movements.

Beets also contain betaine, that can also help improve your digestion.

The pigments in beets can turn your poop red, which is normal and is often an indication that you have healthy digestion.

Fiber is crucial for digestive health and beets are a good source of the fiber which adds bulk to the poop and makes it eaiser to pass the poop and reduces your risk of constipation.

The Betaine in beets can also support healthy digestion and gut function.

And the betalains in beets can also cause your pee to turn pink or red which is normal and goes away on it's own.

Just like your poop can turn pink or red when eating beets it can also affect your pee.

The fiber in beets also helps to cleanse your colon as well as promoting regular bowel movements.

Beets are not only rich in fiber but also are rich in prebiotics and antioxidants which are also compounds that support the growth of beneficial bacteria in your gut.
