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!
