Yes, It does for me. It has calcium oxalate so It can make stone in the kidneys. So i avoid to eat beets.

I think it is different for every person, so just try, and do so in moderation and see how it goes. It will likley turn output red r black, so don't let that freak you out.

I have had no problem with beets! Love them in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil or my husband canned some from last winter and we eat them often!
