Crohns and Juicing-Veggies and Fruits
Sat, March 31, 2012 1:26 PM
I watched a documentary called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. Loved it!!! <3 It got me very interested in juicing for many different reasons. #1 being my health. My question is.....has anyone ever tried it with crohns? Is it ok/safe? I would like to start juicing asap and i'm very excited about it! Thanks for taking time to read my topic! :)
p.s.-by jucing I mean putting veggies and fruits into a jucier and only drinking that for breakfast lunch and dinner for a certain amount of days :)

Do the dates and lettuce bother you? I was told no nuts, no seeds, no skins. The dr also said I can only have veggies without seeds, and they must be steamed. It is very disheartening!

Hi. I just got back from the Mayo Clinic. They told me that I could only have bananas, melons, and peeled apples. The rest of the fruits had to be juiced, not blended. I bought a juicer, and am looking for recipes. The juicer just purees the ice cubes. I would like something with more substance, perhaps a smoothie. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Sublime,
One thing I noticed when I tried juicing is that I'd routinely consume too many different things at a time--when you eat a meal, sometimes fast-digesting foods get swallowed after slow-digesting foods. This causes the faster-digesting foods to putrify as they sit there waiting to get through the tubing. I think juicing also made me take in too many calories at one time.
I'd consider juicing again only if I was to mix two foods at a time only.
I'm doing well on a mono-meal of dates for breakfast, a mono-meal of bananas for a mid-morning snack and again for lunch, and a salad for dinner (cucumber, celery, tomatoes, lettuce, dressing). I've never felt better.

I started juicing before as i want to change my diet, because i know that what we eat is a big factor on what's going on in our gut...But when i tried juicing everyday i just felt that my stomach is giving me so much pain. Until it gets to the point that i've been hospitalized for 6 days for perforation. I think because of the acidity of some fruits and the raw veggies irritates the lining of my stomach that's why after i've experience terrible pain (bloatedness, cramping, nausea, etc.) i realized juicing fruits and veggies are not good for my CD.
