Juicing

Hi Sherry...If I were to be juicing, I'd make sure I had the juice with a meal rather than between...at least to start.

With concentration of some juices, you might get diarrhea.

Oh, but in saying that...you could add metamucil powder to the juice to bulk things up a bit more.

I would suggest doing the research....keep us posted.

lol. First I thought this topic was going to be about steroids.(keeping as much muscles as possible under a flare up by taking roids haha)

Mango, orange and blueberry actually sounds good! This one came with a recipe book and I'm anxious to try some of the recipes but I have to go shopping first lol I seen the picture of the cucumber one and I don't know if I can get myself to drink something that is a pukey green! :)

Is it easy to strain the pulp out?

Q, do you know which ones or guess which ones might cause the D to be more pronounced?

Sherry...remember that food itself has action in the digestive tract, so you will have to figure out what works for you. Just don't drink large amounts on an empty stomach at first.

Have fun experimenting. One glass may be good, one and a half may be too much...it's just like eating too many oranges or whatever.


There might be a lot of pulp, but that in effect might be good because it'll be a fibre that would be insoluble and soluble...so maybe diarrhea might improve.

Not all agree with everyone. Looking forward to your experiments and feedback...

I bought a juicer last summer. I juiced a lot of spinach with carrots, apples, and cucumbers. I don't recommend cabbage. Way too bitter.

I started juicing about two months ago. After countless hours researching I finally decided upon the breville 800 JEXL, its great and does special things......hahahaha. On a serious note if you want to remove the juice from leafy vegetables your better off with an auger type juicer that turns slower and extracts more juice slowly. I think every juicer out their on the market thats decent is going to be a PIA to clean it just comes with the terrority. I usually just rinse mine off real fast. The only thing I upon up scrumbing usually in the metal screen. 

On the the fun part, I make all kind of concoctions with my juicer. None of the drinks I make ever upset my stomach. I noticed a few people mentioned that it gives them mud butt sometimes, but it doesn't bother me. I usually drink this concoction:

1. (2) heads of brocolli

2. couple stalks of carrots

3. (8-10) brussell sprouts

4. (1) apple

5. (1/2) lemon

6. (8) stalks of asparagus

If you mix it right it doesn't taste to bad. I usually end up stirring it because it seperates in layers, kinda like when you mix different liquors together. The drink above usually comes out to like 24-32 ounces which is A LOT and sometimes its a PIA to drink all of it. I plan on cutting down on the quantity but haven't yet. Mine came with a receipe book but I haven't tried anything in their yet, but most of the drinks look pretty tasty.
