Burning throat from juicing?

[kevin1986]

It seems when I juice my throat kinda burns and stays kinda sore afterwards.. Mostly after spinach/carrot juice..but fruit to,if I mix peaches,apples,kiwi,strawberies

Why is this?

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.

what are stone fruits? i have never heard of that before. LOL

Any fruit that has a stone in it ~ peach, nectarine...

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.

Well,its with anything I juice,with or without kiwi. Just juiced cabbage,spinach,carrots right now..

Not meant to knock you Kevin.

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.

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

ok i will..though I lik taste better of a mix,specially when trying to get a good amount

[MysticTree]

once you identify the burning source you can mix them again - unless it is the mixing itself that causes a problem. I never heard this before.

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.
