    Default Feeling weird after a juice

    I've been juicing with fruits and veggies like carrot, celery, cucumber, cantaloupe, strawberry, banana, and other extremely yummy ones.

    Today I tried a combination of cucumber, celery, carrot, cilantro, and garlic.
    I didn't mind the taste, but my stomach felt weird. It wasn't quite a stomach ache but it felt funny. My head also felt like it wanted to bring on a headache, but didn't quite reach that point. I'm wondering if it was the garlic? Does this mean I should avoid using garlic? I typically don't eat raw garlic.

    It's a pretty common intolerance, from what I understand. I know that I can't handle garlic, raw or otherwise.

    I agree, try it without and see what happens.

    Yeah, I didn't catch that. How did you juice the bananas? How'd that work for you?

    Oops yeah sorry, I blend the banana with juice.
    Ah yeah I read the liver detox section. A bit of discomfort is normal then? I suppose it makes sense since that body will be working hard to cleanse.
