thanks and got a juicer

Jana:
I am so glad you are feeling so great! It is a relief to know how much you love and trust your medical team.
I love juicing. I too feel like I am constantly on a better nutrition search. Unfortunately, I beat myself up when I am not "good". The only thing i hate with juicing is that my ileostomy pouch gets very icky with the output from the juice. It may be very different with your colostomy. I get orange liquid output for hours and it leaks a lot on my underwear. It filters through the little bend in the pouch because it is so liquidy.
I mainly do carrots, apple, beets. I added ginger today and liked it, but be careful, a little goes a long way! sometimes i add spinach or celery. and barleans greens.

I am open to discussing this nutrition issue anytime. I have thought about going more drastic (Kushi macrobiotics, etc.) but now just try to do all organic unless we eat out or something, no beef, free range chicken, fish a couple of times a week, a big salad everyday. lots of root veggies like radish, daikon radish, carrots, turnips, beets along with spinach and peppers. unfortunately i have to avoid nuts because of my ostomy. i eat lots of fruit and yogurt but do have an egg almost every morning. i think miso is great, but have an aversion to it after my short stint with the kushi diet after surgery. i add flax oil and wheat germ to food when i can remember ( i swear this chemo makes me forget everything. i find weird items in the fridge and stuff). anyway, we can be nutrition adventurers together if you like. write or call anytime!!! i think of you daily and send energy your way! i know you will beat this. you are such an inspiration for me. you are fabulous!
love,
