Juicing Forum

Just joined the forum today. Last week, I had pains after every supper meal along with nausea for about 2-3 hours, so I checked with a doctor friend of mine, and he said it sounded like classic gall bladder issues. I have an appointment with a surgeon on July 18. But I want to try to avoid surgery. So I started researching and the topic of juicing intrigued me.

Does anyone on the forum have experience with gall bladder symptoms and juicings efficacy in that regard?

After watching Joe Cross' movie, I bought a juicer ( one gear masticating) and am now on the 2nd day of a juice fast. Oh, and I can afford to lose about 40 pounds, so if I can achieve two goals, weight loss, and keeping my gall bladder,math at would be bonus!

Hello werner, Welcome to JOJ..........i am so sorry about your gall Bladder but i do believe that juicing will help you avoid the surgery..

Werner, that's a great question and that recipe (Morning Glory) is a great recipe for a morning drink. It's okay to have more sugar in your morning drinks as opposed to your afternoon and night time drinks. That recipe has healthy, natural sugars and still comes out to have less sugar than a 32-44 ounce soda. It has less sugar than a bowl of the most common cereals and a glass of orange juice.

If you were a coffee drinker and stopped, you'll most likely get caffeine headaches for a day or two. Try switching to 1-2 cups of green tea per day. It will help the caffeine withdraw and it's healthier for you.

That's awesome Werner, minus the headache and the tomato recipe. Stick to recipes with a low amount of fruit and see if that makes a difference. Remember, you can take tylenol or ibuprofen if you get a headache. It sounds like you're off to an amazing start!

Congrats on day 5 Werner! Let's keep our fingers crossed for when you see the surgeon!
