I get many positive effects from a juice fast. A great reduction in anxiety, improvement in mood. My facial skin looks better. More energy and less muscle pain.
Normally I live with a lot of gut pain that has been diagnosed as IBS but really that was just my doctor's guess. But the gut pain mostly goes away on a juice fast.
I can't sustain the positive effects, however, when I return to solid food. I have tried an allergy elimination diet, eating pretty much nothing but rice and vegetables, and I don't get much improvement--not compared to the dramatic improvement on a juice fast.
I am wondering if anyone has ideas about the underlying cause of the effects of a juice fast. What can I investigate? What can I check? Is there a way to eat solid food but sustain the good effects?
