Re: Fresh cabbage or spinach juice?

[Guest guest]

I can't speak for everybody but I used it during the intro stage and I'm

convinced that it helped me heal a LOT faster (b/c intro alone wasn't enough

during the last couple of flares).

PS - it tastes really good when it's juiced with strawberries

Now wondering if cabbage or spinach juice would be okay to mix in with the

romaine. I'm diluting with 50% filtered water.

Thanks and Ellen,

I'm hanging in there! I tried romaine with spinach yesterday and that seemed to

work okay for me. I think I'll use spinach for a few days before trying the

cabbage juice.

I'm having less pain but a little sleep disturbance now. Can that also be

related to die off? I noticed my tongue is looking a little pinker in the

morning.

After taking antibiotics six months ago, I went to the lower stages for months,

and I'm just going more advanced. I took cabbage juice throughout, though,

because my stomach was so messed up. I, too, felt it was key to helping me heal

whatever the stomach issue was. I mixed mine with various vegi's, including

carrots and beets, for a savory blend, or with a green apple, parsely and ginger

for a sweeter blend.

I've been drinking fresh cabbage juice for several months now and I am 13 weeks

on modified SCD (no yogurt, fruit or juice except blueberries are OK).

Someone posted (was it here?) that he recommended a juicer instead of what I was

doing (blender and straining out the fiber) and he was right. Better tasting and

more concentrated.

Yesterday I added some fresh ginger into the cabbage juice. Wow. Spicy. Next

time gonna add a little less ginger. It occurred that I could make " real " ginger

ale using ginger juice, honey and bubbly water. Since I don't do juices this

would add a little sparkle to my beverage consumption.

I think the cabbage juice is good for my gut, just feels happy afterwards.

Tamra,

All these years of digestive woes, bad days/periods disturb my sleep, so

I don't see why die-off couldn't cause sleep disturbance, too.

I'm having less pain but a little sleep disturbance now. Can that

also be related to die off?

Well I couldn't wait so a few hours ago I threw a couple cabbage leaves into the

juicer with the spinach and romaine. So far so good. The juice kind of wakes me

up, which is good because I've been feeling run down.

Didn't sleep well again, but had another normal BM! That's the second one since

I started the SCD. I'll take that as a victory. ;-)
