Juicing

I tried juicing this morning for the first time and am so glad i did! It had apple, cucumber, celery, carrot, beetroot and ginger and was the best tasting drink I've had in a long time. I was wondering if it might not be better for me to get my veggies/fruit this way as my guts seem to hate dealing with high fibre - whole veggies. Also I've been peeing like a loon, so I guess it is also good for flushing out toxins - which I've had a big problem with recently. Then perhaps I can stop worrying about adding in vitamins/minerals too, as the juice has them all? Have to say that I feel very bouncy! And the herb mix I'm on seems to be making me feel better and better day on day.... Thanks to those in the thread last time who said that things will get better... now I am starting to see it.

I've never tried juicing, but it seems like a good way to get nutrients into your body? It seems like you can add all sorts of things to boost the vitamins?

I'm so glad that you feel like like you're starting to turn the corner and feeling better! :D

Glad to hear you are doing better Caroline! You so deserve to be feeling better, so I am glad something is working for you.

It makes me wonder if my friend Graeme should try juicing things again. His intestines are so sore from taking a lot of grapefruit seed extract and uva ursi recently to counteract a bladder infection. I think he had both items a bit too much since he had intestinal bacteria that his doc got rid of by using those very same herbs this last Fall and Summer. I took him off them when I realized what was happening, and the new herbs really helped.

He got over the infection but now can hardly eat anything without severe pain due to gut inflammation. Right now I have him off chicken. Instead he's sipping watered down goats milk yogurt with a little slippery elm. It seems like its all he can manage, except for the occasional avocado--all soft, non fibrous foods. Even cooked celery and sweet potato was too much for him. Any suggestions??

I think too he may have the beginnings of RA--like his mother had. He's been having a lot of inflammation with weakness and difficulty walking. Even his skin seems slightly reddened and apparently is sensitive. He sees his naturopath in another week. He is mostly Welsh with some English. Are these kinds of conditions common there?? My feeling is that the English typically have very sensitive digestion.

Right now I am doing way better. I discovered I am amine intolerant as well as salicylate intolerant. Eating the sauerkraut, gluten-free miso and extra fermented yogurt was way the wrong thing for me. However by doing so it pointed out what really was going on. By avoiding amines I am actually starting to sleep soundly. Its hard to believe! The last four days I have been able to go to sleep an hour earlier--and I am starting to feel more refreshed in the morning--a first for me.

Maybe its Spring, but the world seems more possible. Am so very glad for both of us!! Keep up the good work Caroline! I'll be sure to suggest juicing to Graeme.

Oh dear, poor poor Graeme. Juicing might be the way forward but I would go with the softest most soothing of vegetables like cucumber and well cooked beetroot (not in vinegar!). Keep away from the acidic stuff like lemons/toms etc. Has he tried warm well cooked white rice with butter. I find that works really well if my gut feels very sore. Gut inflammation is just awful. I would say stop taking everything vit/herb/bacteria wise until everything calms down. Just soft white rice, or perhaps potato if he can tolerate solanaceae. Perhaps also some warm soup. You said you took him off chicken. What about bone broth? He is so lucky to have a friend like you!!! It should take just a few days to calm down, then he can start adding things back in. He won't be missing too much nutrition in a few days and can catch up later.

Sorry to be dense Bea but what is RA - Rheumatoid Arthritis? Shall I look up in my books to see what they say? Once he is settled then he can go back to the fermented foods. I think in the short term as there is quite a bit of acid in fermented yoghurt it may be hurting him more than helping him. cutting back and adding in might be the way to go here.

On a great note I had a test exam and a presentation to give last week. I got 80% in the exam (anatomy and physiology) and a high 2:1, which would be about 69% for the presentation (with two other ladies). So am feeling quite chipper about that. We did the presentation on the first day of spring! We are out planting in the garden. Clipped our dog Pippo today too and have done a raft of other things. You are right about the spring.

On not so great a note I asked my husband to take an autism quotient test today and he came out with a lower score than me... however, I know for sure he has aspergers. He is just too well adapted to doing a test like this honestly! Somehow I need to get him to see a specialist who can diagnose him properly. I expect he will go to the grave before he does something like that!

Hugs to everyone who responded on this. Long live Juicing!

Oh how I wish I could try juicing :( But I can't really have fruit and definitely not juiced fruit because it spikes my sugar and I end up with heartburn and throwing up when my sugar is high from that.

Poor you Alex. Hopefully one day. Can you not do veggie juicing instead?

I'm not sure how just veggies would taste...other then that I may be able to get away with just veggies. Pretty much everything I have found on juicing puts fruits and veggies together.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
