In response to:
I stopped eating beets at age 8 (I'm 40 now) because I broke out in hives.  I have not touched one since.  After my two pregnancies, I began to develop extreme nausea every time I ate spinach.  One time was so bad that I threw up and passed out on the bathroom floor!  (Not very pretty, I know...) After a recent spinach episode, my hubby looked it up online and discovered they are both part of the amaranth family - so the allergies (or sensitivities) are related.  I will no longer eat spinach and will never go back to eating beets either.  I totally feel your pain...
