David: where do you get your Fresh carrot juice? Do you make it yourself or buy it organic?
And what do yall think about Aloe Vera Juice?
apple cider vinegar never really liked the taste of vinegar but tried it for years never saw any improvement either. Can't remember now why I was drinking it either...had a booklet back then that was promising great benefits! Yeah dahhhhhh! It didn't help just kind of remember the sour taste.......... I like herb teas once in awhile - lemon zinger and peppermint seems to calm my stomach.
Yeah, I use Braggs ACV and it helps with my acid reflux and overall digestion, it seems. I don't drink a whole glass. Just a spoonful in in hot water. But if you can't tolerate it, obviously don't consume it. That's kind of my general rule.
David, I still don't get why it's a killer. I'm not saying people should or shouldn't drink it. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from.
Today I bought her some carrot juice and she's working on it. We're hoping for a better day today. Between the UC recent diagnosis and now her recent sinus infection - it's a lot for her to deal with.
She's also been drinking Herbalife shakes mixed with either almond milk or regular skim milk. They really helped with her nutrition intake along with Benefiber and a powder mix of Vitamin C, B vitamins and electrolytes. They seem to balance out everything ESPECIALLY after a day like yesterday with the disagreement her colon had with the ACV. We won't be doing that again. uggh.
Hope your mom starts feeling better. Sinus infections are tough to get over sometimes, even if you're on antibiotics.
2 .WEEKS .CARROT JUICE.
DAVID
If you can get a juicer, fresh juice is best... and cheaper in the long run, as you can make it daily, and the vitamins and minerals are at optimum levels for absorption. Juicing makes it easier for those who have difficulty with digestion, as it takes out the fiber and gives the body a rest from breaking food chunks down.
Best wishes for your health
