==============================

Hi Holly,

How much olive oil did you take? What did you have for supper the night

before or for your last meal before the cleanse? Sounds to me like

things kind of got slowed down there. Could be from the oil (depending

on how much you took) or from your last meal (depending on what you

ate). Or maybe a combination of both. I really don't believe that being

physically active would cause this as that usually stimulates digestion.

How much prune juice did you drink and did you have a BM afterwards? I

have never heard of anyone getting indigestion from doing a juice

cleanse but that doesn't mean it can't happen.

Lots of things can affect the digestion. Any negative emotion will

affect your digestion. That is why one should never eat when one is

angry, depressed or any of the other negative manifestations of

emotions. These emotions will literally stall your digestion leaving any

food in your stomach to ferment or putrefy.

Take the time to look back and examine the day from when you awoke and

see if you can spot any out points in your day that may have contributed

to it. Phone calls, bad news, reading the newspaper or watching TV. I

have every confidence that you will find the answer if you look hard

enough. Maybe meditate on the question and see what comes up.
