So very true...I have small jars of dried ginger all around  in case of my light nausea. It works beautifully for me so far. I bought a 5 pound bag of it off of Amazon before I started treatment.

I didn`t juice either on tx mainly because juicing can add a lot of sugar (fructose) .

I have to admit, I am too lazy to juice for myself, so I do waste alot of money on the store bought juice, and they do use plastic containers, but I try to get the freshest juice, I have been using a new company called "evolution" for the beet, veggie, ginger juice.
    Then I eat alot of warm cooked foods also. The more veggies, the healthier I feel. I do watch my sugar on these meds also, and try to cut down on my white bread type of foods, which make me feel tired, and weak.
   I just added Kombucha tea to Kefir, I get imaginative...I try to make my treatment kinda fun, enjoying pampering myself, feeling good about it too : )

I recommend 100% organic fresh squeezed prune juice and the placebo of your choice. It will keep you regular and you will think you are doing better than you would if you hadn't taken it.
Just my opinion of course.   ;-)

  Dont joke,  at my age being regular is a beautiful thing....lol
When I started taking these meds, I wanted maximum absorption, so I refrained from eating fiber around the time I took my Boceprevir and Ribavirin, so it wouldn't get "sent thru" before being absorbed.
