Ha, so you are one of those people who do not like celery. My brother in law is also like that. He couldn't stomach the smell of my celery juice and he wasn't even the one drinking it, lol.
I promise you if you experience any gut issue, 16oz pure celery juice on an empty stomach will do miracles for your condition. I have shared this with many friends with similar issues and the ones willing to try are still drinking it daily after a few months.
I used to be addicted to coffee and would be ready to go to war with anyone telling me to stop drinking it. I can totally relate to how you feel about coffee :-) . Small steps will get you there.
