Re: starting OJ juice fast

How old are you? Male or a female? How are you preparing your OJ? Hopefully freshly squeezed, supermarket juice will not be good for fasting on juice.

First find out what is causing you constipation. There are many causes. Taking drugs such as antidepressants, high BP meds, too many dairy products(plain yogurt is good), not walking enough, thyroid issues, over eating, use of too much laxatives, inflamation, low stomach acid, etc.

You can get a powder called Triphala which is the best way to heal and get rid of your constipation. For immediate relief you can take one teaspoonful of Epsom Salt in water an juice if you do not have any kidney issues. Walk 20 minutes everyday. Drink plenty water, 10-12 cups a day. I would also take probiotics everyday before meals. If you can do stomach acid test with baking soda, then you can determine if you need HCL tablets.

I think if you eat only fruits and vegetables you should not have any problems in easing in to solid foods. But after you finish your juice fast start slowly with half an apple, then orange, etc.

I hope you feel better.
