thanks for the info streetsurfer

bonnie what kind of juice did you start off with?

I started with recipes from Jason Vale ("The Juice Master")
My favorite:
1/4 pinneapple
2 apples
1/2 cucumber
1/2 lime
*Blend with 1/2 Avocado and ice - yum!! (I also add wheatgrass poweder and spirulina and pro-biotics)

Yummy juice for AFTER your workout:
2 Carrots
2 apples
1/2 lemon
chunk of ginger
*Blend with ice - refreshing!

>the ginger is a great anti-inflamitory for after your workout.

Someone already mentioned how ice might not be such a good idea!

Wow, Streetsurfer, so knowledgeable....or at least, you have me fooled....LOL

Now do any of you knowledgeable folks have any ideas for a 3 mo. old infant who is having bad reflux....seems to have milk allergies so his mom stopped nursing....now he's tried every formula out there and just isn't thriving?

TIA,

Mary Kay

the baby is probably not doing will with mom's milk because of mom's diet :-) tell her to stay away from foods as if she has acid reflux or GERD and see how the baby does. I've read online of a story where a woman didn't get real acid reflux problems until she started taking the meds and I was shocked. So for a 3 month old to be on meds for it seems drastic but tell the mom to try changing her own diet and then reattempt breast-feeding. Even as a raw-foodist you can ingest foods that can agrivate the stomache. I love tomatoes but now that I have GERD I no longer eat them as much as I used to...yes I miss them :-) I hope this works out...let me know if she tries it :-)

After a workout you should juice with potassium rich foods.

Potassium is one of the main electrolytes in your body, which gets lost during a strenuous workout. Juicing potassium rich food is the best way to get these vital nutrients replenished.

If you can drink it - the green leafy veggies like Swiss chard and Spinach have the highest potassium levels.

There is also these items you can try - http://www.juicing-benefits-toolbox....potassium.html

can i juice before a workout to get some energy for it

if so how long after juicing should i wait till i start working out

[Aleesha Sattva]

you don't have to wait at all. your body absorbs the nutrients from juice very quickly.

should i peel organic kiwi before juicing?

I had the same issues gastritis and acid reflux and it's completely cured now. Juicing helps it and so does a raw diet, but not overnight. For me it took a couple of weeks for the symptoms to go away and a few months for it be gone completely (in other words it doesn't come back if I eat normal for a couple of days) anymore, it's just gone. That being said in the beginning even healthy foods will give you symptoms, but over time they will dissipate after your insides heal up and start working correctly again. I juice one to 3 times a day now with no problems.

Oh and I don't go too heavy on the carrots I only have carrot juice a couple of times a week because it's so rich. I usually do green juices (celery, parsley, cucumbers, apples, a little lemon, spinach, kale, beets, ginger) those are my regulars in different combinations.

@ scott I get a burst of energy from juice immediately you don't have to wait to feel it like with coffee, but I usually wait about an hour before running or working out so I don't cramp.

I would look into the work of Brenda Watson and Dr. Steve Hines out of Texas. They're digestive wizzards! ;) My first guess would be low hydrochloric acid levels? You might try cutting the juice with 50% water to ease your way into it. :)
