I'm not Marilyn, but thought I'd give you my experience on diluting juices.

I have to dilute fruit juices significantly, even after 5 years on SCD, and I can't handle too much in one day either. I dilute by at least 400% to 500%. I also have to strain the juices through a fine mesh; can't handle too much fiber. I periodically try diluting by a bit less, but my upper GI reacts within 10 minutes or less. Looks like I am always going to have to dilute my juices. Oh, and my body refuses to tolerate vegetable juices, no matter how diluted I make them. Just one of the side-effects of having upper GI functional disorders.

So, you may need to do a trial occasionally once you feel your symptoms are improving, try diluting a bit less, see how your body handles the juices. Hopefully you will be more successful than I have been.

to you symptom wise and that may be why i had such a crummy day
