To get the benefit of celery juice, you must drink it solo. I know if you don't like celery, the smell can be pretty strong. My suggestion is to plug your nose and chug the whole thing. I am sure it will be bad at first for you, but if you are experiencing gut issues, this fresh celery juice all by itself is the best medicine to help your body heal. To tell you the truth, my body looks forward to the fresh celery juice every morning, but I like celery, so it's not as difficult as it will be for you.
