JF + Medication

[lemoned]

Does anybody here have experience in juicefeasting while taking medication or is doing it right now? I am (voluntarily! lol) taking antibiotics at this time. Anybody has any experiences taking similar stuff? How has JF affected side effects or other aspects of your medication?

i have taken thyroid meds, antidepressants and acutane while juice feasting. I noticed that the effect of all of my meds seems to be intinsified with out food to buffer its absorption. I started taking them at different times of the day so I didn't feel the effects as strongly.

Thanks Alicia! The meds right now are quite messing with me i.e. my stomach. I think I need to get less acidic fruits today ughh....

antibiotics can really mess with your stomach even if you are eating. :(
hope you feel better!

You're right, and it's ironic or probably stupid on my side to do those two things [JF+antibitotics] together. Esp. since the last time I took antibiotics was as a teen~

Hi Lemoned,

Here is an earlier post I made on this topic:

If you are taking antibiotics right now, take probiotics a couple of hours afterwards. You would also do okay to pop a probiotic capsule into your enema water.

Lastly, look at what the antibiotics are for, and if there are any other things you can do - eastern or western - to reduce or end your use of them, if possible!


With peaceful steps,

Thanks David for your message and that extra info!
I am already taking probiotics, they help me with a lot of things. It's been about 15 years since my last dose of antibiotics and I am surely astonished again what strong stuff this is.

I am taking Aromour Thyroid, but at a lower dose, because I noticed that the dose I use to take, before I was juice-feasting was too high, when I first started the feast (I am on day 17). I think the greens are straightening me out, and wow, this is rather cool....I go back to the doc to test my thyroid in about a week, and I will let ya'all know if my thyroid gland has kicked-in. I just did not think it would work this fast.
