I do think Heather says no to prune juice but I'm hesitant to completely stop cold turkey. I mean nothing made me go! I am down to in the morning, I have a glass of about 1/3 prune to 2/3 low acid orange juice (gives some folks trouble so be careful, but I think they are mostly D folks). I put my acidophilus powder in there, too.
I've been puttign the acacia in my oatmeal in the morning (I was having lots of trouble getting it to mix in liquid once I got up to a TBS - so clumpy! But can be drunk down still, I just sort of can't stand the clump factor if I can help it - but the benefits are worth it ....So anyway point is I mix it in drink when I have to but I've found other ways, listed here:) Then mid-day I usually have a smoothie so I put the acacia in there. Then at night before dinner I put it in some applesauce.
For my fruit and veggie juices, I use a good juicer that can juice anything. You DO juice skins because you are getting NO fiber here, only juice/nutrients. I do a couple of apples, several carrots, a celery stalk, and 1/4 of a beet (not the greens). That way you barely taste the beet. If BM's are coming well and soft enough to pass easily then I skip the beet. I've been skipping the beet off and on lately! You can juice so many things for good nutrients - there are books out there just of "recipes" to juice, one I like is "Juicing for Life", it lists out different health issues and which juices can help with those issues. I like to do this rather than load up on vitamin supplements, when practical.
I've written this in a hurry so hope it makes sense!
HTH! My little girl's name is Sarah Michelle, and my boys are Luke (6) and Aaron (4).
