can any of you drink veg juice (carrot juice, beet juice etc)? I'm relatively new to Crohn's and trying to work out what I can and can't have.
Carrot juice is one of the best things for Crohn's, it has a ton of vitamins, especially vitamin A. If you are not sure, then it's always best to just try a little and see how you tolerate it. But, I have read in several different places that carrots are specifically good for people with Crohn's disease, and juices or smoothies make it easier to absorb necessary nutrients.can any of you drink veg juice (carrot juice, beet juice etc)?

I totally agree, juicing by taking out the pulp can cause major blood sugar spikes if people aren't careful, I think eating the whole food has more benefits. Smoothies with veggies make it so much easier to get a variety of veggies and absorb all those wonderful nutrients. And I think keeping the pulp/fiber in there helps avoid the loose stools.For my part, I stopped juicing because it gave me loose stools. Instead I do veggie/fruit smoothies to get the pulp (fibers and such). About 70 pct veggie / 30 fruit in order not to get too much fructose, which will also gives me problems.
