Ahhh...another good case for moderation. Sometimes too much of a good

thing can just be...well...too much! Sorry you had that trouble - that's a

tough lesson learned, eh?

This is wonderful, but you know what, when I tried the liver cleanse diet, I got

diarrhea from all the fruit I was eating! It lasted for days until I could get

a good bottle of acidoophilus. My intesines were not ready for all that fiber.

Yes, lesson learned, but you know I only had 4 pieces of fruit a day. And in

only 3 days, I had diarrhea. I take fiber and all kinds of things without that

reaction. UUGGGHHH!!! I wouldn't think that small amount of fruit would do

that! I guess I don't know my body as well as I thought I did.

God bless,

Don't be too hard on yourself, KJ. It takes time to learn what works and

what doesn't. 4 pieces is actually a lot, though, if you hadn't been in the

habit of it. And it also depends on what kind of fruit, too. For example,

apple juice can loosen the bowels, while apples themselves have the opposite

effect (if you have a lot of either). Bananas can be binding, too. Do you

remember what kind of fruit you had? Although I'm guessing you're not

anxious to experiment with that again any time soon after the experience you

had!!

I haven't been following this thread but having just read through this post, I

wonder if you've heard of Juice Plus Orchard Blend capsules: " provides

naturally balanced whole food nutrition from a wide variety of nutriously dense

fruits. The absorption of vital nutrients has been scienftifically

demonstrated....provides whole food extracts containing natural fruit juice

powders, fruit fibers and food enzymes, along with phytonutrients and

acidophilus... "

I gave this to my 7 yr old grandson who was unable to tolerate fruit as it gave

him diarrhea. He was able to tolerate the Juice Plus very well, (I open them

and mix them with a smidge of applesauce or yogurt), he never had a problem with

it and is now able to eat all the fruit he wants. I get mine from Donna. There

is also a Juice Plus Veges. These are great for getting fruit and vege nutrients

into kids or anyone else for that matter.

Glad you liked it, Lu.

I was reminded by someone on another list that it's recommended by many

sources not to combine fruits and vegetables. So I'll add an addendum to

that post by saying that since fruit is digested faster, it's probably best

to have it before a meal or as a snack between meals, but not after the meal.

I still think, though, that the important thing is getting it IN there, and

then maybe once a habit is established, working on the whole combining aspect

down the road.

Hi ,

That is correct with the fruit, the only fruit you can add to meals is the

apple, and I believe there is one or two more and I can't think of what they

are...lol. Actually, fruit in itself makes a splendid meal in itself,

especially the melons! oh yummmmm......

Peace
