the fresh juices.

.... it could be that it sates his hunger and makes him not as

willing to eat other foods. Are you using small amounts? And

diluting?

I haven't been diluting the juice so that may be an issue. I only

make it every other day and probably spread throughout the day he's

getting about 8 oz of it- I use 1 bag baby organic carrots, 2 granny

smith organic apples and one big pinch of organic spinach leaves.

Appetite is not a problem for him! If I have to hear too many more

times " Maaaaamuuuuuuuu, I'm huuuuuunngggggrrryyyyy! " I may go batty!

Here's a typical day from the food diary including carrot juice:

BREAKFAST: Scrambled eggs w/ ghee (he usually eats 2 or 3)

manuka honey w/ 1/3 cap milk thistle & 1/4 cap enzyme

SNACK: 1/2 frozen banana pureed w/ carrot juice ( " banana pudding " )

-homemade applesauce

LUNCH: 4 pcs (small) macadamia nut butter bread w/ strawberry

sauce spread on some of the pieces ( " strawberry jam " )

-few bites of peach/applesauce

manuka honey with enzyme, milk thistle and acidophilus

SNACK: Few bites of a frozen banana, but he dropped and the puppy

ate the rest so I scrambled him an egg instead (low on

groceries this day- last banana!)

SUPPER: Wouldn't eat roast beef (crockpot w/ carrots, salt

& pepper), ate several cooked baby carrots and

the tip tops of a few pieces of steamed broccoli,

lots of " pumpkin pie " (we call butternut pumpkin for now)

and homemade applesauce

manuka with enzyme and milk thistle

This just screams at me- TOO MUCH FRUIT!! His sleep is excellent

though, poops getting more solid- still some mush, but better, no

more 2:30-5:30 a.m. waking with severe stomach ache and diarrhea

since adding milk thistle. No wheezing, except w/ too much chicken,

no eczema at all, no hives...

Thanks for the input as I know this needs some adjusting.
