  • How to find (allowed) fruit juices w/o added Vitamin C?

    Hello,
    Am following a strict IC diet paired with a selective high alkaline diet. It seems impossible to find juices from allowable fruits that don't have added vitamin C. Do such things exist? And where can I find them? Even the health food stores I've checked have the added-C juices. Thanks for any help.

    I bought a juicer to use for my pear juice. It's a hassle sometimes but worth it knowing the only thing I have in my juice is pure juice! There was a thread here from someone who mentioned a very good organic juice that has nothing added. You could try searching the posts. I can't remember the brand name.

      I use SmartJuice pear juice. Their website lists local stores that carry it. The store orders me a case at a time. The only ingredient in it is pear juice.

      I also drink Trader Joe's Just Blueberry juice.

      I also get straight fresh carrot juice - Odwalla is one brand. I either drink it over ice or mix it with the pear juice - 2/3 pear, 1/3 carrot juice - not too "carroty" that way.

      Those are the only ones I've seen here that don't have anything added.

      For awhile I had a juicer and used that, but I got frustrated with how many pieces of the machine there were to clean & gave it away.

          I can do apple juice with prelief. I don't know if anyone else drinks it? I try not to make it a habit, just as a treat.

            I have found an apple juice with no ascorbic acid. Don't even need to take Prelief with it. It's made from Gravenstein apples. It was SO GOOD to drink juice after a year of milk and water.

              Hi,

              I drink Gerber Baby Pear juice. Never any problems. I also drink Trader Joe's Just blueberry. Sometimes I mix the two and it tastes like sweet grape juice!

                meResque- What brand of apple juice is it that you drink and where did you find it?

                Juliasface- Is the Gerber Baby Pear juice found in all grocery stores that carry baby food?

                  I find it in all stores, grocery and stores like Walmart. It's usually with the baby foods.
