Celery Juice - just hype or real deal?

I've read a lot about celery juice being good for gut healing. I tried it for a few days but my juicer doesn't work so I can't do it anymore. Anyway, if a few grams of celery sugar and sodium (which you need anyway) is the most of your concerns, I really don't see an excuse not to try it unless your candida is seriously out of control. The fiber is mostly eliminated through juicing.

I wonder if celery seed extract works for lyme. They sell it in capsules on amazon.

I dont see how since is not a "hot" herb or anything. Its alkalizing to the body, high ph, which has benefits.

What these celery articles dont mention is if you consume a lot of alkalizing foods, you might need to take HCL to keep your stomach acidic (low ph). Body is best a little alkalized, but gut needs acidic environment for digestion and to keep digestive flora balanced. An alkalized (high ph) gut is asking for reflux, candida and maybe SIBO.

Good luck. Those juicers are a b* to clean. I'm not sure if a food processor would work, you'd have to strain it I guess? For what it's worth, one whole bunch of celery only yielded a half cup juice for me.

Just did blended celery juice and lived to talk about it.

It tastes like.........celery!

Purchased a compact Oster single speed on sale from $24 to $16, easy. Highest rating for under $30.

If im going to do this often it must best easy to do and set up and clean.

20 oz do-hicky.

1/2 bag of 12" stalk organic+ 8 oz water made about 16 oz, put some blue berries in too.

I did if for a few weeks and didn't notice much difference in any way so I quit. Cold celery juice is definitely not the worst tasting thing I've had though, I could stomach it.

I drink one of these each hour of the day:

Holy crap...

This is the Dudes humor ......(right?)

If not, your pretty busy in the kitchen all day lol.

I tried celery juice and it really helped by digestion -- less constipation and indigestion. I only drank about half a glass (maybe 150ml) a day or second day.

Still doing it- same recipe as my post from 12-30-18.

Keep in mind, I have not had any tick illness symptoms for more than two years now.

In that time I've really been trying to get my gut in the best shape ever - lots of experimenting. I have long history of gut issues. Remember the gut - its ability to properly absorb (mainly protein) and not leak, is one key to immune health.

Celery juice is alkalizing, and seems to keep my gut feeling and working good. I seem to get SIBO after too much FODMAP foods, and it was hard to control even after eliminating FODMAPs, this ended the "stuck" cycle. I can now eat those foods in moderation again.

Hopefully in the long run I will see other improvements and improve my immune system (nine months of baseline lab tests). I don't like guessing and try to combine "symptoms or "feel" with test results if possible..

What I dont like is its another ten minutes out of my day to prep this. 24 hours is not enough in a day..

Four month daily (AM) celery juice trial.......just ended.

I ended up using a mini smoothie blender- so no separation of fiber and juice, its all of the celery in this trial, about 16-22 ounces every morning the last four months.

The only positive effect I could feel was better digestion vs other AM food.

**Having any veggies in the AM would have same effect** Note- I eat pretty clean, no junk food anyway. So did I feel better every morning after this? - No. Obviously If I ate crap, this would be better.

No lab changes (4 Comp Met Panels this period) either. Sodium and glucose were roughly the same..

Summery: This is mostly pure FAD.

I have yet to see any of the many countless "health gurus" online / you tube ect have any proof of benefits from this for people already eating well.

Numerous "kitchen/network online foodies" say "I feel gear after this!" - in what way? ***You feel great cause you got to make another video lol!** Did they not feel great before consuming celery juice? We dont know, they are not saying.

Is it better than donuts.?........well obviously, but anyone with health issues eating junk in the AM needs to re-prioritize food choices..

On the up side, its a base for something new in the AM vs the same old same old (whatever that might be for you). And if your gut digestion is still in wrecked mode, this is probably good for it.

So I will still do this for more AM food variety, but it wont be an everyday habit anymore.

For whatever it's worth, the protocol is supposed to be 16 ounces of ONLY celery juice. No fiber, nothing else added, not with food, etc. This point is repeated over-and-over by Anthony and his followers. I haven't followed this celery juice trend, so I can't add any personal testimony. Again, just FYI. I have to vested interest, either way.
