I would be a little concerned that all of those apples (peeled or unpeeled) would become very gassy!!!!!!!!
That's the odd thing about it, it doesn't produce gas. The juice of apples is not known to produce gas, that I know of. The key, I found, is the "empty stomach", which makes you think it would be a trigger even more, but it's not.

How are you! So glad to hear from you!!!  I'm fine, thank you.
How many times did you drink this in one day? Also, did you use small or large apples. It calls for 4 apples per drink, but doesn't say what size. You know I'm a perfectionist and need specifics! 
Yes, sweetie, we know you are the queen of specifics. Honey just do it, and don't get wrapped around the axle. There is no right way or wrong way. The point is here, it just WON'T work if you DON'T do it. 3,4,5 apples? It doesn't matter, but I think I used 3 very large green apples for a "dose" and did it 2 times a day. One day is all it took, however..I do it occasionally just because I like the taste. I was increasing my SFS at the time so I think at some point they kicked in. As a "C" and I do mean "C", my current daily SFS plus soluble fiber foods brings me up around a total of 30-35 g. of fiber a day (combined soluble and insoluble) which is not a lot compared to some cultures.
Also, is this something just for difficult C times or can you do this everyday if you want? You could, if you wanted, do it every day, but you'd get burned out pretty fast, and you wouldn't want to turn into a temporary "D", not to mention you'd start cursing the maker of your juicer for making it a pain to clean.
BTW, this is not new, green apples have always had the popularity of being a known natural laxative. Just ask your grandparents. It's just by taking it in juice form, we with IBS don't have it irritating the gut. Kandee
Thanks!

and it does not cause any problems - d or c - whatsoever. Bottled apple juice sends me running to the bathroom. The freshly juiced kind doesn't bother me at all. So, I wouldn't be worried about drinking it if you're not constipated, or being afraid that it will turn C to D.

You weren't making fun of me because I need "specific" answers.  So I have a reputation of being the queen of specifics? That kind of hurt when I read it. I'm also extremly sensitive so maybe I'm taking this too personally. My immediate reaction was to feel hurt, but I know you Kandee, well enough, I think, to know that you would never intentionally hurt anyone.
I'm sorry,I know it drives people crazy,  but I have always been this way. From the time I was a little girl mom always told me I should be a chemist because I need to be so exact.

Does that mean before the SFS in the morning as well? Or before any meds? Or can I put my SFS into the juice? Or take the SFS sometime after the drinK?
Sorry so many questions. But was emphasized to do it on an empty stomach so wanted to find out about the SFS as I have gotten into the habit of taking SFS before eating anything. Thanks to whomever knows this answer.
