OJ Intolerance

[kiran]

One cause of OJ intolerance may be the fiber dissolved in it. If you cant get a hold of OJ without pulp, its worth trying to remove the pulp.

Just add some bicarb and/or club soda to the OJ until you get a layer of foam on top. Much of the pulp should be floating on top of the liquid, you can remove it with a spoon. I cant get good OJ, and this seems to help my gut a lot.

Not only that, when oranges aren't really sweet they're going to cause issues due to the high levels of acid (mainly citric acid) in the juice. Adding bicarbonate isn't going to make up for the unripeness.

We put bicarb/baking soda in our oj and like it that way. Many times the pulp will be dissolved in oj so not sure if the bicarb would help then. Ours seems to be low pulp, but one always wonders... We use the organic from Costco. It tastes good. I do drink less than I used to since I am watching my lysine/arginine ratio. It seems oj is high up there in arginine when I do a search.
