Juicing raw veggies

I cannot eat raw vegetables and was wondering if juicing might be an alternative. Has anyone ever tried it and been successful?

I juice about once a week because I want the good stuff in veggies but my colon does not like too much fiber.
Juice is powerful stuff so start with a little and move up as you are able.

When I am in a larger city with a juice bar I notice they add some water in theirs so it's not 100% juice. At home I will use seltzer (salt-free) instead of water, put a straw in it and pretend it's a cocktail Just don't go too sugary with too much fruit, carrots are sweet too.

During the SCD diet, I began juicing Red cabbage (which has powerful antioxidants that help prevent inflammation) and added some carrot as a base. Did it almost every morning for about 2 months, I feel it really helped me. If you look on google or anywhere else, you'll find a lot of history with getting rid of digestive disorders by juicing raw cabbage. Yes its true, alot of the fiber is left out when you juice, but the nutrients are still there.

If you begin juicing, carrot is such a good base for any type of juice mix you want to make.

I've been wanting to try baby spinach with cucumber and melon or something.

For the tastiest juice, try Red Delicious Apple, Carrot & Ginger (also a ancient herb used to restore gut health).

Very important that you choose from organic fruits and veggies when juicing.... otherwise you're totally defeating the purpose of getting that most nutrients, and its very true, contrary to what anyone says, that food is altered when its plagued with GMO's: antibiotics, sterols, anything!

If you do it regularly, you may even lose some weight, and if you have a really bad flare, a juicing fast wouldnt be such a bad idea at all, there is some research on how beneficial it can be to cleanse or detox the body.

Has anyone ever tried tomato and carrot? I personally like carrot and apple - this doesn't seem to bother me much but I am curious about the tomato/carrot combo. However, isn't tomato a member of the nightshade family?

Thanks for the replies. I think I feel more energetic with vegetables and miss them, so I may just give it a try.

You make me feel guilty about not juicing much anymore. It takes time but is so healthy and really helped my wounded gut get to the good place it is now. Gonna have to buy some extra carrots and greens (no fruit added to mine) to juice this weekend and freeze little jello cups or ice cube tray of it for next week.

I love homemade gravy (not in coffee), it's nothing more than meat juice and very little cornstarch and maybe a little chicken broth to extend it.
