Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi Bee, I looked through the archives but didn't quite find the answer to my question... I have been feeling pretty good most of the time with some mild constipation. I just got my hands on Celtic Sea Salt and had a total of 1 tsp yesterday throughout the day. I also ate your curry chicken recipe for dinner and had 1 T of coconut oil before bed. I woke up this morning with aweful diarrhea and stomach cramping, headache, etc. I assume these were detox reactions, but I'm wondering what the likely culprit was? I'm wondering if I shouldn't have jumped in at 1 tsp sea salt right away? Was the coconut oil a bad idea without eating it with a meal? Or...could the curry recipe also trigger strong healing reactions? Thanks, Cheers, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likely culprits are great healing foods that help your body heal and detoxify itself. However, all of the nutrients work together so it may be that once you took Celtic Sea Salt it helped your body detoxify even better. Taking coconut oil before bed isn't a good idea because it is very energizing which can interfere with sleep. Was the extra coconut oil an increase in your daily amount compared to what you were taking? If it was, you may not be ready for that much yet, so back off and take less.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 > > I've been having stomach pains and bloating, and I just found out the shrimp I had was spoiled. I'm making some ginger tea right now, any other suggestions? +++Hi April, If you could eat it okay without your mouth protesting like mad, it did not cause your stomach pains. Did your stomach itself bloat, which is due to swallowed air, or was your abdomen bloated (where your intestines are located)? Bloating in the intestines is not caused by meats or eggs, since it is because of gas created by bacteria in your large intestines breaking down undigested fibers in carbs (plant foods). Meats and eggs are totally digestible. It is false that spoiled meat causes health problems, or even food poisoning. That is because meat that spoils simply means air has reacted on it breaking it down more, called curing or denaturing. The more it breaks down the easier it is to digest, since our digestive system continues breaking it down, which is also called denaturing. That is why some meats are cured, i.e. hung up in large coolers like you see sides of beef on TV. Our ancestors always cured meats. Sometimes the timing of such reactions " appear to be " related to what you ate, when they aren't. If you have had those symptoms in the past your body will be retracing them as it heals itself, and the timing cannot be exactly predicated. When you get stomach pains take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (not baking powder) mixed with 4-5 ounces of non-chlorinated water, and sip it until your pains subside.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi Bee, What you explained is interesting. I have had the bloating in the past, but in the last couple of days it only happened when I had the shrimp. It didn't happen when I just defrosted some, but it did when I had the leftovers that were in the fridge, so maybe the curing or denaturing had an affect. Is the denaturing harmful to us? I was bloated lower down, in the abdomen area. Besides the abdominal pains, my head felt very very fuzzy. Is this also the healing reaction?

Did the shrimp's ingredients include nitrates, sulfites, sodium metabisulfite or other weird ingredients, which are preservative chemicals that toxins. They will cause a very fuzzy head or headaches, etc. since they are toxic to the nervous system and brain. You didn't get stomach pains? How long after you ate the shrimp did you get bloating in your abdomen area? All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hi Bee, I got the bloating and pains very soon afterwards, and according to the packaging there are no other ingredients. I hope this doesn't mean I won't be able to have shrimp, I like to have some variety in my diet. @@ Snip> > +++Hi April, > > No, denaturing, as I explained, is what your own body does when it digests > proteins; it denatures them which means to unwind or break apart protein > molecules so your body can separate out the different kinds of protein, > called amino acids. > > Did the shrimp's ingredients include nitrates, sulfites, sodium > metabisulfite or other weird ingredients, which are preservative chemicals > that toxins.

It takes 3-4 hours for the stomach to digest food before the food empties into the small intestines. Bloating and gas usually happens in the large intestines, but the food has to go through about 24 feet of small intestines before it reaches the large intestines. So, the shrimp does not cause your bloating and gas my dear. Meats and good fats are the easiest foods for humans to digest. Bloating and gas are caused by undigested carbs (all plant foods) like vegetables, spices, herbs, etc. (all foods not classified as meat or fat).
