Green drink pains????

[Raw Mommy]

RAW Superfood Green drinks are an awesome way to get EXTRA greens into your system, although I've been suffering from stomach pain after downing these nutrient rich drinks. Anyone else have this problem??? My husband drink the same drink, I just make a double batch every morning, but he is just fine! It lasts for hours, and I'm beginning to think its just not worth it. I'm on a 100% raw diet now, and I know I'm getting enough of everything, but the green drink just makes me feel like I'm above and beyond! Any tips???

Also, I noticed there is maca powder in my raw green powder. I have had an episode with putting just maca powder in my smoothie... same kind of pain. Anyone ever have a reaction to maca?

I'd also LOVE to hear about your favorite green drink recipe :)

I take my nutrient from fresh produce as much as possible if I would take something, i could consider maca or chlorella/spirulina.

If i was you, i would get a juicer and juice my greens from leafy greens or sprout or wheat grass etc....

Having tried many green superfood drink products, I can say that I had the same reaction to one type I tried. First, ginger will help your tummy recover from whatever is bothering it. Second, try a different product or follow Raw Angle Mom's advice and simply juice yourself (a better way to do it!). For me, the effects of the product I was "intolerant" of took a couple of weeks to clear up so if you've still got symptoms, be patient. Good luck!

there is a thread on here somewhere about adverse maca reactions. Use banana search to find it.
