I'd like to know the pros and cons of juicing -- when you pulverize not just strain the fruits and vegetables. I've heard it doesn't work for people. What are your expectations. Does it do harm?

I'm having painful bowel movements and rather than JUST up the enemas I wanted to try something nutritional for a change.

Hope everyone is doing well. Haven't posted in a while.

I think juicing is a fantasticly healthy thing for those that do not have UC. My UC does not really like healthy items anymore. I really have to watch eating anything healthy like fruits, veggies, nuts, and other things. I just can't digest them well, even in juice form. I went out to dinner last night with the wife. She ate a healthy weight watchers item off the menu. The menu was frought with things for me though. I actually settled on fish and chips because it was one of the better choices for my system. I didn't want to have to give them five different special instructions on the other menu choices. Fried foods don't really bother me. Go figure.

It actually does like McDonalds, although I don't really go there much. It's funny but before UC I was trying to eat fairly healthy. I wasn't a health nut by any means but I was trying to eat more fruits, veggies, fiber, etc. and stay away from the really bad stuff. Then came my UC and I kind of had to stay away from those healthier things. I still cheat once in a while and eat something healthy but I must limit it to few and far between because my system just can't handle it. A big part of eating healthy is being "regular" so the bad stuff goes through you faster without being fully absorbed. I don't have to worry about that anymore.
