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.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
