The fiber in smoothies or shakes certainly helps digestion. Now going to the toilet is a wonderful experience which I look forward to every time!.. Teehee :oops::monkey::wtg: When drinking the juice, nothing really changed. I would recommend juicing greens though. Not a whole lot, since it takes a lot of greens to make just a little bit of juice. You could be drinking way too much nutrients in one sitting, way too fast for your body to handle well. That's one of the reasons I became sick, another was the intense taste of just a little bit of garlic or ginger in the juice that overpowers it. I literally barfed all over one time combining a small clove of garlic in with a large amount of juice. It only took a small drink, then BLARGHHH!! ! Wow it was hot and burning juice too... Due to the garlic being juiced instead of being blended. With a blender, it's way different. I use Two tablespoon ginger with a fruit smoothie, or garlic and ginger in a green smoothie. The ginger makes things sweeter tasting, the garlic isn't even noticeable with the ginger and greens. With juice, it's all a perfect drink for someone who's bulimic and looking to purge without having the shove the finger down their throat.

Yes it is the sugar, but that's not all. I can't really be bothered right now to look anything up though.


Pondering, not to take away from your experiences/physiology, but eating raw garlic makes me throw up. Even one tiny sliver, uncooked, and I'm running to the bathroom. I think some people just can't digest it. There's something in it.

I love garlic (and onion)- I had about five cloves in a bowl of whipped cauliflower the other day. I need strong flavors, though. My mother says I have a "cast iron stomach".

On another note, I'm starting to hate my blender, the Oster 18 Speed I mentioned- it took an hour yesterday AM to crush enough ice for half a gallon- the bottom of the pitcher, the ingredients are liquified, while the rest sit on top. I had to add four or five cups of water, and STILL didn't get full rotation/ice crushing. My boyfriend's never seen me so angry- when I have enough money, I'm going Office Space on it, I swear....
