Can you detox poor digestion?

[Guest guest]

Prior to starting this diet I suffered from acid reflux, a terrible burning

feeling in my throat after meals. I had no other digestive issues except chronic

constipation. After starting the diet, I opted to take 2 Tbsp of sauerkraut with

every meal instead of HCl, and it helped. I have had no digestive issues for the

past 2 years. Suddenly, I am passing pieces of food in my stools (ie-well cooked

spinach ), which has never happened before (aside from tomato skin when I forget

to peel). I have also had some stomach/intestinal pain and increased gas with

stools. This has been happening for the past 2 or 3 days. I do have a weekly

cheat, which I have been trying to not have but always do. I wonder on

whether I should go back to sauerkraut with every meal or perhaps start HCL? If

it is retracing, should I treat it at all?

I'd appreciate any insight, as I'm just not sure what to do. My instincts say

retracing because I haven't changed anything, but then I still don't know if I

should do anything other than wait it out.

Thanks,

Dawn

Hi Dawn,

I had a similar thing happen to me. After months of no stomach pain and having

good digestion, I started getting a sore stomach after eating. I started

puréeing my foods again and taking HCl which didn't work for me in the past, but

for some reason really helped me to get through this rough patch. I did this

for about two weeks and now my digestion is feeling better again.

It sounds like you are having symptoms of poor digestion, now, too. I think it

would be wise to either eat sauerkraut or try taking HCl since they will help

your digestion. Puréeing your foods might also be beneficial. Like me, it's

possible that this might be short-lived and doing the things I recommend could

help you get through this rough patch without having to suffer too much.

Thanks . I have been doing sauerkraut since yesterday AM. Hopefully,

this will pass fairly quickly, as it did for you. I feel like I'm retracing a

lot at once lately with digestion, sinuses/ear, and some tendonitis stuff. I

will be glad when I get through this rough patch.

Thanks again,

Dawn
