I have a Matstone. It's the same as either the Champion or the Oscar (I can't remember which) It was the cheapest electric one I could find, about £160. It's been great. You can also get hand wheatgrass juicers for under £30. They say that when you take it you're supposed to keep each mouthful in your mouth and roll it around as if you were 'chewing' it at least 30 times. I do 'chew' it but not as long as that. Apparently that encourages the saliva flow and makes it easier to digest. In fact they recommend you do that with all juices. It might help stop the stomach pains. Cheers Kirsteen
