Smoothies / Juicing and digestion questions

Date: April 30, 2008 11:51PM Does making smoothies OR making juice from greens make them easier or more difficult to digest?
I need things that are very easy to digest right now. I love greens but sometimes I have IBS that flares up and I can't digest them so I was wondering if smoothies would make the digestion easier or more difficult and also if juicing would make the digestion easier or more difficult. When I get a flare up of IBS that is really bad, papaya and banana get really boring even though I absolutely love papaya. I just want to bring more into the mix. Apples are out -- OUCHY OUCHY OUCHY. Grapes are ok but my usual haunts don't have organic right now and grapes have a lot of pesticide residue. I'm doing some wheatgrass and that goes through ok. But I really crave more greens lately. Thanks for any knowledge about this. Lee [www.dhamma.org] Re: Smoothies / Juicing and digestion questions

..I've done green smoothies and green juices..both methods help digestion imo. Juicing greens is the easiest way for me to eat lots of them..and I almost always opt to eat the pulp salad which is basically shredded greens. Aloe vera is supposed to be good for ibs. I buy it in whole leaf form and juice a chunk with greens, carrots and often a chunk of coconut. It's ok. Dandelion is in season..and has agreed with me in any quantity since day one..
