I'm not most people. If I were to eat what I wanted to, I would get more
than double the recommended amount of fiber per day. I have gastroparesis
(slowed digestion) from diabetes so I have to really be careful not to
overdo on the fiber. Even in cutting back, I still take in about what the
daily amount should be. I love celery and I do eat it and use it in cooking
but juicing allows me to consume more of it. I don't have a juicer. I chop
three ribs, put it in a cup of water, then strain and drink over ice. I do
not use cheesecloth as recommended to strain. I pour it through a scoop with
holes in it so I am getting some of the pulp.
