I hate beetroot,

and had a beetroot smoothie instead.


I doubt there's anything which says you can't mask
the taste with another ingredient. Although it would
probably need to be something equally strongly flavoured.
Tomato juice or puree are ones that immediately spring to
mind. Additionally processed tomatoes are very beneficial
as they contain lypocene.

When abandoning medication the problems often don't
arise when you come off it, but when you finally
concede that you're going to have to go back on it,
and end up in a far worse position than you were
before.

Whether that applies in this case, isn't for me
to judge of course.

If this has cropped up all of a sudden, after a year
or more of no problems then that strongly suggests
that there's another factor at work which needs
investigating. And isn't the result of the medication
as such, at all.

Bad side effects of medication can include total hair
loss, vomiting, nausea, insomnia, nightmares, being unable
to stand for more than a few minutes unaided if at all
etc etc but people put up with them when the only alternative
is the old grim reaper.
