GP-Friendly Juicing

Juicing Basics

Juicing removes the majority of the fiber from fruits and vegetables.

Most of the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are retained in the juice.

Fresh juice contains enzymes and nutrients that are not found in pasteurized juices.

It’s best to drink juices right away, as it loses nutrients over time.

Juicing for GP Best Practices

To obtain optimal nutrition, juice a variety of fruits and vegetables throughout the week. Think about the RAINBOW!

Just because it’s a liquid, doesn’t mean it will be well-tolerated. Slow and careful experimentation is still necessary, especially when getting started with juicing.

Start with 4-6 ounces of juice, diluted with an equal amount of water.

Start with simple combinations of produce (1 fruit + 1 veggie, for example) until you’ve determined what you do and do not tolerate.

Fruits/Veggies for GP-friendly Juices

Arugula

Blood orange

Blueberries

Cantaloupe

Carrots

Celery

Cucumbers

Grapes

Honeydew

To Improve Taste For Symptom Management

Mint: may alleviate pain, cramping, and heartburn (not appropriate for GERD)

Ginger: anti-nausea; pro-motility

Coriander/cilantro: enhances peristalsis; increases digestive juices

GP-Friendly Blending

Blending Basics

Blending pulverizes fruits and veggies decreasing the workload of the stomach.

Blending does not remove fiber.

Though smoothies and purees are liquids/soft foods, excess fat/fiber may still exacerbate symptoms.

Smoothies can be stored in the fridge or freezer, but taste and consistency is best when consumed right away.

Blending Best Practices

Start with simple fruit smoothies. Fruit plus liquid.

Experiment with various liquids, protein powders, supplements, and other add-ins one at a time to determine what works for you.

Do not add fiber supplements or high-fiber protein powders.

Use GP-friendly fruits and low-fiber veggies without seeds or skins unless you have a high-powered blender (Vitamix/Blendtec).

Focus on the nutrient-quality of smoothies. Avoid adding empty calories and excess sugar.

Troubleshooting

Are you…

…drinking too much at one time? Start with 4-6 ounces of juice and about 1 cup of smoothie.

…drinking too much overall? Start with one serving of juice and/or one smoothie per day until you know how much and what you tolerate.

…drinking too fast? Chew your juices and smoothies. Digestion begins in the mouth. Sip slowly over time.

…trying too many things at once? Start basic. Two veggies and a fruit for juices. One fruit and liquid for smoothies.

Are you…

…drinking undiluted juice? Try adding an equal amount of water.

…adding too much fiber or fat to your smoothies? Check the nutritional content of all powders, liquids, and other add-ins. Choose lower fiber fruits/veggies.

…using too many high FODMAP fruits & veggies? Experiment with choosing lower FODMAP options.

…using other ingredients that you might not tolerate? Dairy and soy are common triggers.
