After much reseaerch and input from my daughter (a chef) I bought the Ninja which is a combination upscale blender, food processor and juicer. The reason I thought this the best item for me was that my daughter insisted that the mastication of fruits and vegetables is much healtier as it gives you more nutrition through the fiber; however, I experienced cramping and severe bowel reaction my first day.

The “juice” is a little chewy and not really bad tasting. I am now feeling like maybe I should have gotten the extracting type of juicer, even though a lot of the fibre and nutrients are discarded.

Pleases provide me with some insight/suggestions as I am really convinced juicing is for me but don’t want to risk IBS with so much fiber. I’m thinking that maybe those symptoms recede as your body adjusts to this type of supplement???

Thanks for your input.

My BIL has stage 3 colon cancer. I wanted to start juicing to help them with their nutrition, and if it helps cure this disease GREAT! if not, at least they will be healthy.

What I need is juice recipes to bring their ph levels up. Where do you get these??

Thanks so much!
