Test your Digestion health in 10 minutes

You cannot see what is happening inside your digestive system. But your body leaves clues — and with one simple food from your kitchen, you can find out in just a day or two exactly where your digestion is struggling and what needs the most support. All you need is beetroot.

How the test works

Calculate 3.5 grams of beetroot per kilogram of your body weight. So if you weigh 65 kilograms, you need just over 220 grams of beetroot for the day. You can eat this all at once or divide it into smaller portions throughout the day. Eat it as whole cooked or raw beetroot — juice is not recommended, as it is too hard on a digestive system that is already under stress and does not give you an accurate result.

Then simply pay attention to what happens next.

What your stool tells you

If your stool turns red or pink after eating the beetroot, this is a signal that you do not have enough lacto- and bifidobacteria in your large intestine. These are the good bacteria your gut relies on to do its job properly. When they are missing or depleted, your digestive system cannot process certain pigments the way it should — and the red color passes straight through. The good news is that the fix is straightforward. Continue eating beetroot daily until your stool returns to its normal color. That is your body telling you the balance has been restored.

Where the problem is coming from

The timing of your bloating tells you something just as important as the color of your stool.

If you feel bloated within 15 to 20 minutes of eating, the issue is in your small intestine. This is the upper part of your digestive system, and when it is struggling, it reacts quickly. This kind of bloating often comes with pressure right under the ribs or in the middle of the belly, and it tends to feel more sharp and immediate.

If your bloating comes on after 3 to 4 hours, or if you wake up in the morning feeling bloated after eating the evening before, the issue is in your large intestine. This is where fermentation and bacterial imbalance tend to cause the most trouble, and the delay happens simply because food takes that long to travel that far.

Why this matters

Knowing where your bloating is coming from changes everything. It means you stop guessing and start addressing the right part of your digestive system. Most women spend years trying random solutions because nobody ever helped them understand where the problem actually was. This simple test gives you that answer in less than 48 hours, using something you can buy at any supermarket for almost nothing.
