green juice made me throw up

[rawsurfer]

so i worked out this mornign and came home and made a huge glass of spinach chard cuke juice and it made me really nauseous and i threw up. what up with that. maybe it wasnt diluted enough?

oooooh oooh oooh...I had the same EXACT experience about 3 weeks ago.

same combo...i put my bet on the chard being so bitter. I haven't been able to eat it since!

it tasted fine though, and i was craving greens. ive thought about maybe the spinach's high oxalic acid content being too toxic for me...:confused:

Green juice always makes me throw up. Victoria Boutenko says its due to low hydrochloric acid and drinking green smoothies will fix it eventually. Does chard juice usually make you nauseus or was this the first time?

[rawsurfer]

first time i usually fiend for green juice. love the stuff. thats why it is so weird. plus my stomach acids seem to be doing pretty good i have been raw for 7 months and im pretty healthy and active... who knows though i was pretty hard on my body.

just want to add that I have always loved my green juice....never a problem with any other juice.

i didn't actually throw up but for about 45 min I was on the verge

I had a problem yesterday. I've been drinking celery, dandelion, apple juice w/ a little wheatgrass in it and yesterday the only thing I did different was drink the wheatgrass first. I threw it all up about 20 min later. :(
I've had wheatgrass alone before and haven't had a problem.
This morning I had celery, spinach & apple and didn't have a problem, so maybe in my case it was the wheatgrass??

I don't think it was the wheatgrass, but could've been drinking or eating too soon after drinking your wheatgrass. I can't combine anything with wheatgrass, cause that makes me dizzy.

its all very confusing to me. i have mixed wheatgrass before with green juice and had no problem. i have often felt that i could drink a tall glass of wheatgrass. something victoria boutenko said on revvels talk show made sense to me though. in essence she said that there are toxins in small amounts in every green in order to protect the species from extinction which is why we need to rotate our greens. maybe my body was like "whoa i cant handle that much toxins"; either way i trust that my body made a good decision, for whatever reason that may be.
