Can you narrow it down to one of the ingredients? Perhaps you have an allergy of some kind. I would suspect the stone fruits myself - maybe the peaches. My wife gets burning tingling on her lips when she eats stone fruits.
I'd go with the kiwi on the fruit front. Not sure about the veggies but can only suggest that you try each juice on its own to try to narrow it down.
I agree with MT and, btw, it's not from "juicing" it's from a certain juice. (Yes, I am specific in language because if someone says "Oh! My throat burned from juicing" then people go," oh! I shouldn't be juicing because my throat will burn!" Yes, sounds dumb yet... we're talking humans here which is why I'm a squirrel.) It's not the act, it's what it is you're putting into the juicer.... and, I'd guess kiwi myself.Quote:

stop mixing the juices. see if you get the burning when you drink an individual juice.

You might be sensitive to oxalates in the spinach. That would cause a burning throat.
beets will irritate your esophogas and mouth if drank solo. Unripened pineapples will cause a tingle, as well as kiwifruit. I don't know if it's the kiwifruit or the skin that causes that.
This thread got my attention because I had an experience recently where I was eating raw beet on my salad in a larger quantity than previous times. After eating some of the beet my throat suddenly began burning very much, which was alarming (wasn't sure if it was going to go into an anaphylactic thing or what- it didn't). The burning remained for probably 15 or more minutes but it left me wondering what in the world just happened. I haven't been brave enough to eat beets since, which is a bummer because I enjoy them and they were really helping my gallbladder.
So, basically, what I'm getting at here, is in regards to what the previous poster said about beets causing burning mouth and throat. Can you please tell me more about that? I haven't had much success looking online for answers and would be thrilled if you could help me understand what that experience was about and means for my future relationship to those red/purple/white jewels.
Thanks!

In response to your question I would guess it is the spinach. Use less perhaps. I've heard that spinach can be a little rough on the throat. Try switching up spinach, kale, romaine, a variety and see if you get the same results from other greens then try spinach again.
I had this problem when I began juicing many years ago. It's from drinking undiluted vegetable juices, mostly greens, cabbage, beans and a few others. You should mix them with water. Whatever amount you juice, add the same amount of water. They taste much nicer that way too. Sweet veggies like carrots are fine to have undiluted.
I found this site because I was looking for an answer to the burning sensation in the back of my wife's and my throats with some juices.
At first I thought it was from celery because it is somewhat of a black peppery sensation which celery can have. After removing celery from the juicing a few times, I now think it is coming from cabbage. It does not seem to be an allergic reaction, but more an actual flavor sensation.
I had the same thing happen this week!! It tasted all peppery! Once from a kale salad and the other time from a smoothie containing collards. I've NEVER had this reaction to these veggies before, in any form.Quote:
