Hi everyone,
I've been on and off the forum over the last couple of years since starting treatment. The protocol has worked really well on me and I'm in the very latter stages of healing. Am generally symptom free 90% of the time as long as I stick to list 4-5 of the diet and look after myself. I've just really strugged to get past this final hurdle though. I can probably speculate that it's due to getting lazy on the diet a lot now that I feel mostly better and should just really tighten up on that for a good few months to really let the final healing happen.
Anyway... after a few months of no appointments I recently went back to Matia to check in and she has now put me on Juice Plus. I was curious to know who else is on Juice Plus and what its done for them as far as moving them further along the healing path? She got me to buy a bottle of the Garden Blend and the Orchard Blend and I'm to take 1 of each every day alongside the probiotics and cod liver oil I already take.
Has anyone noticed consideraly positive changes in healing after being put on Juice Plus?
I am also in latter stages of
I am also in latter stages of treatment and don't have symptoms 90% of the time. It's usually on the weekends when I eat something not homemade that I get a little something.
I was started on juice plus before trying to conceive and am still on it now that I am breastfeeding my 8 month old. It's pretty much an all natural multivitamin. I feel it gives me energy.
Hi there! :)
Hi there! :)
Was keen to touch base with you privately seeing as we seem to be in similar stages of healing with our IC. I've been 90% symptom free for a good few months (almost a year now) but just can't seem to kick this final hurdle. As mentioned in my post I did stop speaking to Dr Brizman for a year and a half so didn't really have any changes in my protocol from then and after seeing her again recently have gotten on to Juice Plus. I'm just wondering if you feel that the JP healed you even further or whether it was just helping you along with energy?
Curious to know if you feel you've continued to get better and better or whether you are plateauing a bit like I have in the past year?
I'm just hoping that there is a 100% symptom free level to get to eventually and wondering what I can do to keep working towards that :)

Hi MissCC,
Hi MissCC,
I was on Juice Plus during the last year and a half of treatment. I'm not sure if that is what got me basically symptom free or maybe it was just time, but I was a 90 - 95% for quite a good while, almost 2 years and then it just pretty much went away. The only thing I did differently the last year of treatment besides the Juice Plus was that I was getting my water directly from a natural spring. I did this 2 times during treatment, once when I lived in Georgia,and the last time when I lived in Louisiana and both times I really felt a difference in bladder inprovement. If you can get to a natural spring I really recommed it. Matia thought it was great too. This website might help. www.findaspring.com
Hey Christine!
Hey Christine!
Sorry this is a little late. I don't check in here a lot these days. I was just curious to know - you said you're now symptom free. Do you feel that you've fully healed over now? I mean are you able to eat and drink (including alcohol) without any problems now?
I'm constantly in a state of flux. Everytime I think I'm pretty much better (I can go a couple of months with no symptoms sometimes) I get relaxed with the diet and although I don't drink alcohol yet it just takes a couple of weeks of sneaking in sugar more often than I should to spiral back to a few days of inflammation and a little frequency again.
I guess I'm just curious toknow whether there is an end point in the healing or whether this is as good as it gets and I just have to stay off the sugar, alcohol etc for good now to maintain being symptom free
Sorry I'm responding so late. Just going on the website again recently. I've been reading more about juice plus recently and it seems it may help with digestion as well. I was reading past posts. Some people cannot tolerate it. Luckily I did just fine. I definitely have some more healing to do though. I just keep "peeling at that onion." I don't have pain but I still cannot handle certain foods. I get inflammation if I try to drink raw milk. So I still have appointments so I can get further along in healing. If I've been doing really good on a certain protocol for awhile, she really usually try adding in more probiotics. I was on the digest a lac for a while before I got pregnant, then I couldn't handle it so she took me off. I would like to be able to get to the point where I can tolerate that one.
Hi All,
Hi All,
I know I'm late to the party, but just wanted to chime in that Juice Plus has worked well for me in the past. About to go on it again and am wondering if it's OK to use expired bottles of it?
I hope you're doing well on it Miss CC and it's nice to hear that other "old" patients are doing well too!
As a total aside- is anyone else having trouble posting new topic threads on the forum? I know it's much quieter over here than it used to be, but it could be better if the posting feature was working...I'm letting Matia know about my tech issue with it but I was just wondering if I'm the only one...
