Digestibility
Back when my only identified gut problem was MC, my naturopath recommended juicing vegetables; using the kind of juicer that extracts and discards insoluble fiber. I've been doing that ever since. Now I'm trying to address SIBO, and I am told I should cook all vegetables for digestibility. Wouldn't my original juicing method make them just as digestible?

Sort of, but cooking changes a lot of things, such as at least partially detoxing lectins. There are a lot of other anti-nutrients in vegetables, but I have no idea what juicing does to lectins or any other anti-nutrients. It might eliminate them or it might have no effect on them for all I know.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
