The juice makes me loose

Up until about a week ago, I was afraid to drink any kind of fruit juice. Juice had a negative effect on my digestive system of a nature that I’d rather not discuss, but that you can probably deduce from the title of this article. However, I have discovered a secret that now lets me enjoy juice again.

Until I was about 25 years old I could drink as much juice as I wanted and had no problems at all. I’d drink big 32oz cups of grapefruit juice as if it were iced tea. But then something happened, and all of a sudden the juice was making me sick. So I stopped drinking juice altogether.

About a year and a half ago I came down with a mysterious case of bladder infection and it was recommended that I drink cranberry juice to help with the pain. I tried it in small amounts and things worked out great, but I was still a little gun shy about juice.

Then about a week ago I bought some Sunny Delight in small 6.75oz containers (I was on a nostalgic kick). Sunny D was at the top of the no-no list of juices for me, but I thought I’d give it a try. To my “delight,” it had no adverse effects. Since then I have been enjoying juice as in the old days.

My secret? Moderate 6-8 ounce servings.
