Juicing Forum

i just tried joe cross's v28, DISGUSTING! i know we can add salt but that did not help at all! any pointers on that one or just stay away from it? thanks.

While I haven't tried his v28, I've tried a few others that were really good. It's really beet heavy but if you're looking for a juice like that that will give you a good taste then try out this one:

Feel free to add a jalapeno to it or even a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.

If you're talking about drinking water after every juice then yes, you need to drink enough to dilute it as it helps greatly with the absorption process. You might want to try lessening the quantity of your recipes a little bit so you don't feel overly stuffed with liquid. Remember, the more water you can get in you, the better.

donnie,

i just mowed most of my lawn(push/self propelled mover)and i was able to do it but i feel like i told you i might feel. this is usually what happens when i don't eat enough. i was drinking plenty of water and now i am having one of your juices. i am hoping it subsides soon. this could be my diabetes. i am not on any meds or have any rules. i am type 2 and i beat it after 3 months of being diagnosed. do you think i overdid it on the yard work? i didn't feel like that the whole time so i am thinking i over did it. let me know.

thanks,
andy

It's possible you did overdo it on the yard work. Try making some of your own juice with oranges and apples. That should do the trick for you. You may also want to consider taking a quick ginger shot or two throughout the day.

1 Golden Delicious Apple
1 inch ginger

That's good for quick boost of sugar here and there.

Well Andy, you are only on day 3 so you must still have a lot in your system from before you started your fast. Try drinking less juice per sitting for now and spread your juices out more throughout the day.

Andy, it almost sounds as if you have a case of food poisoning. I would suggest you either go back to solids for a while to see if it stops or go see a doctor.

On the other hand, 200 ounces is a lot of liquid. I think it's best if you start including a few raw salads into your diet until you start to feel better. If it persists or gets worse, then go see a doctor. But try adding raw veggies to your diet and see if that helps. If it does then you may have to slowly go back to being just on juice.

I'm glad you're feeling better Andy. Keep at it and see how it goes. I'm sure you're through the detox period or just about through it by now. Keep me posted and let me know how things progress.

i had an apple and an orange juice and then i went and finished the lawn and i was cool! thanks for the tip. i drink my juice with crushed ice and i eat the ice as well. is that okay?

also, i went to the bathroom today and it was just 2 little pieces. is that normal?

thanks again!

so i should be drinking this warm?

thanks. today is day 5! i had to get up early or an appointment. i did not sleep well. can i make a big batch of juice and use it 2 or 3 times? thanks donnie.

thanks and i went and ran errands! no toilet problem. will i be going less now?

thanks donnie but now i am constipated. i feel like i have to go and nothing but i feel like something is going to erupt soon. i joined some other discussions on here to get tips and give them. you are awesome and your help i have seen you write to people is so caring and inspirational. keep up being who you are!

sincerely,
andy

Thanks Andy, I do my best to help!

As far the constipation, you shouldn't feel that way as you aren't eating any solids. If you have to, try taking a laxative tea but be careful as you don't want the diarrhea to come back. Try changing up your juices and use different fruits as I find that some can give me a longer lasting energy as opposed to others. Try using some oranges.
