Juicing Forum

Has anyone else experienced HORRIBLE Charlie Horses while doing this juice fast. Mine became so bad that over the weekend I had to get some nuts and banannas in me I couldn't take it any more. They were so bad I was getting like them every 2 hours at one point. Since I have had gotten some nuts, banannas, and some seafood in me they have stopped. I am back on juice again today, which I have no problem doing, in fact its almost easier to juice than to fix a meal! But I cannot handle the cramps that are attacking my legs and sides.

Vicky, I think the Charlie Horses are cramps and pains in your legs.

Polarbear, find out what vitamins are in the nuts and bananas and compare them with what you are having in your juices. It seems like you might not be getting enough of something. See what's missing and then add it to your juices and see if those Charlie Horses go away.

If it's the salt, add more celery as celery contains natural sodium. Give that a shot and let me know how it works.

well I did some reading.. its common for people with cirrhosis to experience the cramps, which I have but not from alcohol.I must have missed that one somewhere in all my research and boards that I read. They had a few ideas on there that I will try to see if it helps.
