I juice fresh vegetables and fruit and
often I will go with one juice for a while
and then switch to another. I just
started up again on fresh carrot juice and
every time I do it takes my body about 3-4
days to adjust. The first reaction I get
is that it totally flushes out my system,
I know that there is a lot of fiber in
carrots, but it makes me almost sick for a
couple of days. Once I get past all that
I am fine, but I wondered if anyone could
explain why this happens. The other
juice I drink quite often is fresh apple
with grapes. This juice doesn't affect
me the same way as the carrot.

Fresh Carrot Juice Posted: 07-23-04 00:16am
Hi there.
I just joined the ehealthforum today and
love this nutrition area.
I read with great interest your question
about the fresh
carrot juice, but unfortunately cant offer
much help.
I love fresh carrot juice. Its my
favorite thing to juice.
I have never experienced any problems like
you mention.
Some have said that if you drink a large
amount of it,
your skin will turn yellow or orange, but
I dont drink that much.
If straight carrot juice is giving you
problems, the only thing
that I might add that may be helpful is
add some apple
with it. Carrot/apple juice is the
greatest. Sorry I couldnt be much
help for you.

Fresh Carrot Juice Reaction Here Too Posted: 01-08-08 13:38pm
I was doing a search to see if anyone else
experienced a reaction to fresh carrot
juice and this thread came up. Even though
it is old I thought I would add my
experience as well.
Have been drinking fresh carrot juice for
a few days and yesterday I got a strange
taste in my mouth (metallic) and kept
falling asleep and feeling weird. I had no
idea it was the carrot juice until I got
up this morning feeling fine again made
some carrot juice this afternoon and
immediately the weird symptoms came back.
I will keep drinking it for a few days and
see if it goes away like the first poster
explained it would.

that I have always drank store bought
carrot juice with no such reaction. I
recently got a juicer and that's when it
started. I don't drink it straight I mix
apples in. It's a 1/2 and 1/2ish mix.

Like any other store bought juice though,
its all processed, pasteurized and dead.
Fresh is ALWAYS the best.
