I have been reading about digestive enzymes and really trying to eat well and heal. I came across juicing and it seems like a great way to get lots of vitamins and nutrients. I just bought a refurbished juicer on amazon and I can't wait to give it a try. Does anyone do this? Anyone have any good recipes?

I don't at the moment, but only because I'm not yet willing to invest in a juicer. (There are higher priority items on my list. ;-) ) But I do often make 'juices' out of whole fruits. Kinda like a smoothie, but just fruit. Had one this morning that was a banana, two oranges, a pound of strawberres, and some coconut. Just used a blender, but it's definitely a thicker texture than juicing. I'm torn with juicing, because I don't want to throw away the bit of the fruit that has all the fiber. I'll have to come up with something to do with it. ;-)

I have a juicer and used to LOVE my fresh juices, but haven't used it in a while. But, I just read on here yeterday on a thread about - memory problems or something? - I CAN'T REMEMBER - - :huh: that carrot, apple and grape would help restore our brains.....I immediately ran to store to stock up on carrots and apples. Also peel and put in fresh ginger and lemon. I used to do this, it's delicious! VERY healthy, probably esp. for Celiacs as it's mainline nutrients, right?

Good luck, let us know of anything wonderful you come up with!

Hi Cassidy . . .

Purchased a juicer (Breville) at least a month ago and LOVE the healthy feeling I get when drinking a glass of fresh vegetable juice! I always add an 1/2 apple for sweetness, but other than that only use vegetables, i.e. clove of garlic, a couple of green onions and whatever else I have on hand; cucumbers, celery, carrots, kale, spinach, beets, tomato, etc. I've never been a big vegetable eater; so juicing for me personally is a lifesaver!! Note #1: I started out washing the juicer painstakingly daily, but now rinse the juicer w/ very hot water immediately after I use it, and then wash once a week in the dishwasher. Note #2: Try not to drink the juice too fast, but savor it -- almost like drinking a glass of wine. I highly recommend JUICING!!!!! And even though my juicer was expensive; it is worth every penny and will last me for years.

I have felt so miserable and can't seem to get my health back lately. I was just thinking today that I want to buy a juicer and start juicing. I have talked about it on and off for a few years and now I think it is time. What brand do you have Dianna? Also where do you get your recipes and veges from?"

My juicer is a Breville; it cost $300; sounds like a lot, but it will last me a lifetime. You can search for recipes on the internet. I tried following recipes at first, but now I just throw whatever together, and always add 1/2 an apple for sweetness. Whenever I drink fresh vegetable juice (at least once a day) . . . it feels likes sunshine entering my body and healing me from the inside out.

You don't throw out the pulp unless you want to. Veggie pulp is great added to soup stock or even mixed into stir fry. The fruit pulp is (depending on the juicer) quite dry - you can add a little juice back in and eat it like applesauce, add seeds and nuts etc. Also you can add it to homemade yogurt.

We have an Omega 8005 here and it's a beauty. I bought it online and got it for $220 including shipping. It is the newest in the Omega line - single gear - very quite with no vibration and cleans up in minutes. I posted Dr. Mercola's review in an earlier posted.Claire

I just bought a juicer last week and tried it for the first time this weekend. I read that you should start with carrot and apple juice to get used to the taste.

I really liked it and I felt really healthy BUT cleaning the darn thing was such a mission. Not sure if I could be bothered to use it every day. :blink:

Is it necessary to peel everything? And how long does the juice last, do you have to drink it straight away?

Thanks!

Thank you for all the info.

I started with an inexpensive one so I'm not wasting a lot of money if I don't like it. I got the Waring JE 328, the review said it is easy to clean and does a great job. I bought a refurbished one and the reviews on that we good too. It was only $28.

I make omelettes every morning and I put spinach in them. I was thinking I could save the pulp and put that in the omelettes so I'm getting fiber also. I also thought of putting protein powder in with the juice to make a healthy meal.

My family juices something everyday. One good trick with the left over pulp is to put it in homemade breads or muffins. It adds flavour and it's good for ya.

I just got a juicer a few days ago and so far I looove it! I've made apple cucumber juice, orange carrot and this morning I made some sort of apple, celery, carrot, orange, ginger combo. Yum!

I am not a morning person but I somehow managed to make the juice and clean the thing in the few minutes I had before leaving for work this morning. It's really pretty easy and so good - and energizing :) ! I'm curious to find out about people's juice recipes as well. I'll also have to get creative when it comes to all the pulp. Hate to throw it all out, and I just don't know if I can bake *that* many muffins :)

I've juiced off and on for years. If you're hypoglycemic be careful about drinking a lot of carrot juice. I liked what Tiffany said about the fruit juiced in the blender and getting the fiber to slow down the digestion.. But a juicer is good for spinach/celery/apple or carrot to sweeten it. Those green vegetables can really cleanse you. Cabbage juice has been known to heal stomach ulcers but be careful because it can cause gas. There are many good books about all the healing qualities of vegetables. It would be worth buying one. I remember ginger helps with nausea and cramping. Asparagus helps to neutralize an acid stomach so does green beans. Berries are all high in Vit. C and flavonoids that are so good in so many ways and by juicing them you can get the therapeutic benefits because you can't eat as many as you can drink and the fiber can sometimes cause you to not assimilate the vitamins.

That's about all I remember off hand, its been awhile since I've juiced.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      I've heard RO water is bad, too. Distilled water has all the minerals distilled out of it, so it will pull minerals out of your bones, too. I only use distilled water to fill up my clothes iron so it won't get mineral deposits inside and quit working. I drink mineral or spring water.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      Thank you for your reply.  I read the same thing about distilled water.  Oddly, drinking that has not caused any sort of reaction in my gut.  Nothing I can hear and feel anyway.  🤣  With that said, I have also switched over to spring water for drinking.  My traditional go to grocery store charges the exact same thing ($1.39) for a gallon of pre-bottled spring, distilled, or RO water.  The manual gallon refills of RO water have an attractive price of $0.49 per gallon, provided you use your own container.  Knowing it causes major bubble gut (and likely other issues) for me, I am avoiding all RO water moving forward.  In fact, I will gladly drink tap before RO water. Here is what Google says when searching "European study regarding reverse osmosis water". --Begin quote: European studies indicate that while reverse osmosis (RO) is highly effective at removing contaminants, it strips essential minerals (calcium, magnesium) and creates low-mineral, slightly acidic water.  Research suggests this may have long-term health implications, such as mineral deficiencies, while also negatively affecting the sensory quality (taste) of water. Key Findings from European Research & Reviews: Health Concerns: Epidemiological studies in Europe have associated low-mineral water consumption with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and reduced intake of essential nutrients. Mineral Depletion: RO systems can remove up to 95%+ of solutes, including minerals that are vital for health. Sensory and Quality Impact: Studies show that reducing the mineral content (TDS) of water makes it taste bitter or flat, with optimal, "fresh" taste found in water with a TDS between 190 and 350 mg/L, suggesting post-RO remineralization is necessary for better quality. Regulatory & Safety Context: While not banned, European regulations under the Drinking Water Directive emphasize the importance of mineral content, and countries like Germany often favor alternative treatment technologies that retain minerals. Industrial Application: In Europe, RO is widely accepted for industrial applications (e.g., food, beverage, pharma) due to its high purity output, but it poses challenges like membrane biofouling. Environmental Impact: RO is recognized to use more energy and waste more water (up to 15% more) compared to conventional treatment methods, raising environmental concerns in some municipalities.  Recommendations: Due to the loss of minerals, many experts recommend remineralizing RO water before drinking to improve taste and nutritional value.  --End Quote

      Scott.  Thank you for your reply. I'm still having symptoms, but significantly better.  I will go back to batch cooking and freezing vegetables.  I have had success with Pict Sweet frozen, single item (not mixed) vegetables.  My Kroger carries very little Pict Sweet variety. Regards, Yaya

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      I am hesitant to post this as I have seen many people here recommending RO water.  With that said, I want to share my experience and how RO water now impacts me.  Three or four years ago a local store installed a RO water refill station.  I had been buying gallons of distilled and spring water prior to that.  I switched over to using the RO water refill station saving money by brining in my own clean empty gallon jugs.  Every 6-months I would replace the jugs by buying new gallons of distilled water.  This RO water is the only water I would drink while at home.  Two huge glasses every morning before work and two more after work.  I would also use the RO water to make coffee and hot coco. This past December, prior to my celiac diagnosis, my gut was making more noise than anything I had ever experienced.  Seriously, it was crazy, almost like fire works going off in my stomach.  I happened to pick up some distilled water for my 6-month jug rotation.  Literally, as soon as I started drinking the distilled water my stomach settled a great deal.  I could honestly feel the difference after the first glass of water.  I thought that maybe the RO water from the store's refill station was contaminated with some sort of cleaning agent.  I swore to myself I would never drink from that RO refill station again.  Instead I went back to buying distilled along with gallon jugs of spring water.  No issues with either of those as far as an upset stomach is concerned.  Cost, well that's a different story all together. After being diagnosed marsh 3c, I went shopping at Aldi's for the first time in my life.  I noticed they also sell water by the gallon.  Over the course of the last few weeks, I have purchased a total of 6-gallons of their water.  (Thankfully they were out on two of my visits.)  After having my stomach starting to make noises similar to mid-December again, it dawned on me, maybe its the Aldi water?  Initially I had contributed my bubble gut to some sort of gluten exposure or cross contamination.  Even though everything I have put into my stomach is naturally gluten-free or has been labeled gluten-free / certified gluten-free.  I had assumed that the Aldi water was spring water.  Come to find out, that was a bad assumption.  Looking close at the label it says purified by RO or distillation (or something like that). Again, I switched to different water.  Just like last December, the non-RO water instantly calmed my stomach and even felt better going down the hatch.  This was earlier today by the way.  Prior to creating this post, I did a few searches via Uncle Google.  I bumped into a thread on Reddit (where I am not a member) that has multiple people complaining of GI issues related to RO water.  So my initial thoughts on a cleaning agent in the refill station RO water were likely not correct.  Unfortunately, it seems the RO water itself causing me problems.  I am not sure if we are allowed to post links to other sites and hopefully I will not get into trouble for doing so.  I did try printing the Reddit thread to a PDF file.  Unfortunately, the file is 2MB in size, which is well over the 500KB file attachment limit here on this amazing forum.  Again, hopefully this is ok.  🤞  Here is the Reddit thread. This may not be a popular opinion here, but personally, I will not willingly drink another glass of RO water for the remainder of my life.  Who knows, maybe drinking RO water for the past several years is part of what activated my celiac?  No proof, but just a thought.  Come to find out RO water is well known to leech minerals from your body.  With people like us often lacking minerals to begin with, RO water does not seem like a wise choice.  As the Reddit thread mentions, there are RO water filtration systems that will inject minerals back into the water.  However, those systems are likely not being used at the grocery store refill stations nor by the bottling companies producing RO water for sale at your local store. Please do not shoot the messenger as I am just sharing my personal experience and letting others know that most RO water will leech minerals from your body. God bless and stay well, Known1
