Be careful because drinking excessive amounts of pure juices can give you the diarrhea. However, judging by your answer, two glasses of juice will not set you off. As a whole, fresh juices are not bad for you and you reap the benefits of not drinking preservatives or high fructose corn syrup.
You may want to supplement your diet with whole grains like bulgur, couscous, barley, and 100% whole wheat breads and pastas or stoneground breads. Most nutritionists recommend getting 25-35 mgs of fiber daily.

Juicing is great, but its not a replacement for eating the fruits and veggies. You are missing the fiber which is important for proper digestion and also helps with portion control. Juicing however, can help you get those vitamins in without having to resort to synthetic vitamin pills that have never been proven to help anyone. I would recommend juicing, but also you should try to eat your veggies as well.

If your using the juicer correctly there must be some pulp from the fruit and fiber can come from that plus I am sure you have some wheat bread on occasion for fiber. As long as you are 'regular' your getting enough fiber.

Sounds like you have been getting plenty of fiber. Fiber helps keep your intestinal tract healthy and reduces cholesterol but getting it out of your systems. I think the best guage to whether you are in trouble is if you are incotinent (having Hershey squirts). The fresh vegetables take care of that though.
