Juicing causes problems

[Peter]

Hello,

For whatever reason, if I juice with fruit or fruit in green juice, I can become sick, even seizures. Some people say to eat your fruit rather than drink them and you can juice your vegetables. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

I admit that I have abuse sugary foods all my life. I wonder is this a result of that. When I drink the fruit juice I believe it goes to my bloodstream to fast and my body can't handle. Perhaps my blood sugar rises and then drop too fast to a low bloodsugar state causing these problems from years of glucose abuse, I don't know. I know stress and worry doesn't help. I am wondering will my body build up a tolerance for the glucose in fruit or fruit juices.

I am so sensitive to glucose, fructose, etc., that raisins, carobs and nuts that are in Alissa's incredients that they can cause me problems. I tend to binge on anything sweet, raw foods included. You know the phrase, "Can't stop eating them." Maybe if I can control my intake, the above will take care of itself.

Anyone experienced my problem? I would appreciate any feedback, suggestions, etc. Thank you very much.

Pete

Hi Pete

I also have blood sugar problems, I've been looking all over for solutions to this. I've read that a supervised fast is a way to do it. Of course one without sugar/fruit, to give the pancreas the break it needs to heal itself.

Have you tried juicing without fruit?

I used stevia for a while to get off white sugar and it worked pretty well. I don't like it in big amounts because of the after taste, but I hear that there are newer brands that don't have the bitter after taste. You could try to get this stevia and sweeten your green juices with it.

Alternatively, you could grow stevia in your home and add the green leaves as part of your juices.

Some say that adding fat, such as coconut oil to their juices helps control how quickly the sugar enters the blood stream, you could try this as well.

Best of luck!

When I get a juicer I will try the green juice fast for 10 days.
