Re: could this be a HUGE die-off?

3 possibilities (in no particular order)

1- Die-off

2- virus

3- pregnant???

Take an epsom salts bath. If that doesn't help , you can use an activated

charcoal. Your body seems to want to purge. You seem to be right on the edge.

Hang in there for 1 more day and see what happens if you can. I know it's easy

to say and hard to do but, I'm rooting for you! Jenn & K

could this be a HUGE die-off?

For the past week I've been so sick. Very achy and almost feel so

sore its difficult to make it all the way upstairs. I tried to go on

a walk and the nausea hit hard as well as my legs felt like I had been

jogging instead of slowly walking. I feel nauseous almost to the

point of throwing up on and off and very very tired. My constipation

has been horrible (only 'going' with suppositories) and my stomach has

been bloated continuously. Today I had a migraine. I NEVER get

headaches like I had. It makes me a little scared. And I can't tell

if its a virus that might be going around or serious die-off.

I hope it ends soon b/c my work isn't going to put up with me calling

in sick much longer.

,

The achiness sounds like die-off.... BUT.....

I'm really concerned about the severe constipation. I'm wondering if you just

have a whole lotta stool impacted way up in there. ?? Constipation and

headaches seem to go hand and hand at times. But headache *can* be part of

die-off, too.

Are you taking a magnesium supplement? Mag citrate would help loosen your

stool. I would take at least 500 mgs per day.

Have you already done Elaine's constipation protocol?

Somewhere on the PecanBread website is Elaine's recipe for

electrolytes. Try that for the constipation. It would also help

balance pH so you don't feel so achy and sore. Putting Epsom salts

and baking soda in the tub or in a footbath would help adjust pH. I

have recently discovered mustard baths (www.drsingha.com) and that

would help improve pH too.

I am going to try the electrolyte drink as well as take some mag.

citrate tonight before bed.

>>The achiness sounds like die-off.... BUT.....

I'm really concerned about the severe constipation<< I was too. I had

taken a suppository and it didn't work too well. And I had so much

pain in my stomach so I went to emergency. Waited 6 hours!!! for him

to tell me that I was badly constipated in one side of my bowel (other

side was empty-weird) and to take laxatives for a few days. I told

him it is chronic constipation so ya, I might go for the days I take

the laxatives but then what? And he told me about fibre and eating

carbohydrates and drinking fruit juice. It was a very silly conversation.

He told me to take either Senna or durcolax (sp?) tonight. I'm not

sure if I should because they are illegal..on the other hand I am in

bad shape right now.

Anyways I hope this passes really soon.

Patti,

Yes I have done Elaine's constipation protocol. The prunes and juice

make me more C and bloated unfortunately. Funny though, it worked in

the beginning...

[Guest guest]

I really hope the electrolyte drink and magnesium help you.... let us know how

you are doing tomorrow.

How are you doing now?

What foods are you eating now? Are all fruits and veggies peeled and

cooked? Have you started any new supplements or meds lately?
