the banana's (which weren't new). Anyway, after that I had some okay days and

some bad days, never really as good as when I went off the intro diet. So 4 days

ago I went back on the intro diet and I seem to be having another die-off

reaction. Achy back and shoulders, headaches, nausea vomiting, increased ileum

pain.

It may or may not be die off, but it can often take a while to stabilize and

the path may not be as clean as it was initially.

Use epsom baths to ameliorate the achiness and headaches.

And feel better.

Hang in there. Mara has said before that the path is not linear but circular.

The first few months can be up and down. I went on intro several times when

things got unglued. Then they stabilized again. Stay on bland easy to digest

foods for a while.

Whenever I eat too much of anything, I " paid " for it. But as time goes on you

will tolerate more.

Is coconut oil also good for topical use on anal skin tags? I had one a few months ago when I flared and the flagyl I took did a pretty good job of making it go down, but it is still there a little bit. How can I get it to go away for good?I had them before and they went away on there own, but when I flared, one came back. Would very much like to get rid of it for good.

Thanks !

> Yes, alot of people use it in rotation with the things you listed. Oil of

Oregano shouldn't be used for more than 10 days straight. I forget why....

>

> I just use whatever is convenient. If I don't have much time during the day

i'm not going to get my juicer dirty to make a 6 ounce glass of carrot/garlic

juice. Instead I take a spoonfull of coconut oil, or i'll take a shot of oregano

oil. Grapefruit seed extract didn't do anything for me, but I would take a pill

when convenience and time were a factor. So, some days I was taking oil of

oregano in the morning and coconut oil at night and some days it was coconut oil

in the morning and carrot/garlic juice at night. You get the point.
