Question about fiber

I started drinking Dr. Oz's Green drink slightly modified. It consists of an apple, a handful of spinach, a cucumber, celery and a little ginger. I thinned it with grapefruit juice with apple cider vinegar and honey. I thing I started to have a flair up so I quit. I suppose it was the fiber.

I have subsequently started drinking a banana, apple yogurt orange juice smoothie. I don't have problems with that so far.

Is the fiber in the green drink so much more than the smoothie?

What do you think is the problem here?

And thanks

Hard to tell what you are reacting to when there are so many different things in it. The grapefruit juice and/or the vinegar would cause me stomach distress.

Most fruit juices caused gas and D for me when I was flaring. Fiber, especially insoluble fiber, caused a slowdown or constipation.

You will have to take things one at a time (called an elimination diet) and figure out which foods or drink your colon dislikes. Not easy to do but makes life so much better when you know and can keep your body happy and not distressed.
