Brief Answer: let me know the contents of the green juice Detailed Answer: Hello, It is clear from your query that you started experiencing the symptoms after starting to drink green juices. In my view, it is mostly a side effect of the green juice that you are taking. As I know green juices are made of organic green leaves and used especially for weight loss by few people. Most weight loss products increase the metabolism of cells and it would in turn increase the hunger (growling) and gut motility (the gel like stool). I would still be interested to know the content of the juice to suggest you specifically. It is better for you to stop taking this juice. Also, consider getting a stool routine examination done. Regards,

Brief Answer: normal bland diet will help Detailed Answer: Hello, You seem to have taken a mixture of several green juices. I am glad you would stop all of this. Please get back to your routine diet which should be bland. You can take oats with milk, porridge, corn flakes, non-spicy and non-oily food. Do not take high fat and high calorie foods like burgers, pizzas, pastas. You can take plain bread as well. You can eat one or two direct fruits in a day like XXXXXXX or oranges. Wish you get get well soon. Take care!
