miltonkeynesmum,
Often the problem of allergy or sensitivity to certain grains like wheat might be derived from the single-celled yeast contained in most yeasted breads and from the phytin or phytic acid (please read
[Yeast Free Bread...Real Food For Health by Lynn Gordon

Here's a easy to use natural leavened bread baking recipe:

Regarding juices, while it is true that juices are not a large part of the macrobiotic diet for the reasons that Nancy has mentioned, juices are consumed in small amounts at various times be it as a cooling snack during hot weather, as a ocassional supplement to their regular diet or in the preparation of certain dishes especially dessert (like a fruit kanten or compote).
Michio Kushi, for several years now has suggested that certain people can have freshly squeezed carrot juice on ocassion and so our sponson Gary Miller has made juicers easily available to us and the rest of the natural foods world at Discount Natural Foods
http://www.discountnaturalfoods.com/...lejuicers.html and Juicers for Less
http://www.juicersforless.com/ .
My household bought that Mini L'EQUIP juicer that caught that financial newspaper's attention and and we use it on occasion but not every day, and it is excellent to use, and is quite easy to clean.
Just remember that whole foods and temperate climate vegetables occupy the center of our diet and everything else is used with moderation.
Thank you, very much.
Bruce Paine
