This has me really baffled.. I was always healthy before. And this is just me, too.. my mom and sister came off the fast fine and quickly went back to normal.

The bloating and indigestion (I burp up everything I eat or drink for hours, even water, which I didn’t know was possible) is really my only symptom (aside from always have a low temp, usually around 96), but it’s definitely not normal and has me very uncomfortable every day. Do you think a juice fast would heal this or make it worse? It doesn’t help not knowing what the root of the problem is.. I don’t want to screw myself up even more. I’m wondering too about trying a kefir cleanse.

Thanks again!
Annie

The first suggestion is to take a probiotic supplement. Fasting can kill of intestinal bacteria and harmful bacteria can take over therefor I recommend replacing it after a fast.
You may have a yeast infection.

I’ve experienced a lasting problem since completing my fast.. my digestive system has been thrown off ever since my 14 day fast last summer (August 2011), which began as a water/tea fast but towards the end just water. I was 19, wasn’t overweight at the time, just looking to improve my health and vitality. I researched the fast extensively before conducting it with my mom and sister, so felt really good about it the whole time, and felt like I broke it very correctly and all that, but ever since my stomach hasn’t been the same. I eat a very healthy and light, mostly raw diet, yet no matter what I eat (or drink–even just water!) my stomach bloats, hard and painful, and this is something I’ve never experienced before as I’ve always had a narrow waist. I thought it would clear up after a while, and I even fell back on many short fasts of juice or water and nothing helped. Also, I feel like my appetite is never satiated.. I could eat all day if my stomach would cooperate.. yet I feel so ‘full’ even after just one bite, like I just way overate! The bloating lasts all day, every day, though it’s worse right after I eat, and even if I go a day or two on water I’m still somewhat bloated. My weight is stable, though, even though I don’t eat hardly anything (my stomach feels so much better when it’s empty), and overall I think I’m pretty healthy, if it weren’t for this stubborn issue that I just don’t understand, even after hours of research. My only guess is somehow my nutrients were way depleted and has resulted either in slow digestion or something like ascites (accumulated fluid in the abdominal cavity sometimes due to protein malnutrition).. but I hate to think I have either of those as aside from this, I do feel pretty healthy and have a hard time believing the water fast would have had such a negative long-lasting effect on me.

Have you ever experienced this before in your patients and do you have any idea what happened to me, or how I can heal whatever is causing this? I’m tired of battling it and would like to just be healthy, be able to eat normal and have my stomach back. Any help is much appreciated!!

Thanks so much for all you do on this site! 🙂

Annie

You are still in the early detox stage. Feeling badly is caused higher toxin levels in the blood. But when it breaks you will feel great. You may want to cut back on the acid fruits.

I have lost just 3 pounds, last night my heart was racing and I could not sleep and I am still breaking out. I have been drinking mostly citris with a large glass of veggies or strawberries daily and I have done I think 4 water enemas. I am 43 years old, I did juice fast for 1 day and 2 days prior to beggining this fast to get ready.From everything I have read this is suppose to be a time to feel great why am I lagging behind in detox?

He checks in from time to time when he is near civilization. I will try to help you.

You are experiencing the detoxification symptoms. You should start to feel better in the next 3 to 4 days. Some people have the effects for most of their fast. It depends on how toxic your body is. Please read more on this site. It addresses your question, and has several technics for coping with the process. Happy Fasting! Ron

I am on day 4 of 30 day juice fasting. I was OK on first and second days but on third day, i felt very weak, dizzy and nauseous. I have bad breath from day one. No head aches or body pains or any detox Symptoms. Today on day 4, i felt very weak and i had to drink about 500ml of mango juice slowly till afternoon to bounce back to normal. I am not really understanding whats going on with my body. Am i in detox mode already? Coz i used to have bad breath before fasting too 🙁

For me also not paradise by a long short. Tough environment due to slow expensive Internet, heat, and high cost of living and danger. I am working with congressman Jamie Maxtone Graham how is very well respected and opens all the big doors quickly. But my heart longs for the Philippines and the life a had there. But I did pray and so for me this is it so as of now now sure how this will play out. Lots of opportunity but can I handle the place to get the results? Thanks for helping. I plan to get back to supporting the members this week. I just came back from 2 days in the woods fasting and praying for some insite.

work on a new project. Is this your new home? I was looking at some pictures and history there…I dunno if
it would be my choice for a vacation! LOL…but that’s me. Maybe the written data is lacking…or the benefits
are good there!

I’m trying to hold the fort down for you here, but I’m also a bit busy…. begrudgenly working 7 days a week putting
my tribe through college. Also, I’m not as popular as you around here! LOL…you have a better bed-side-manner.

Anyway, it’s always good to see you here! You have a great spritual and reasurring presence. I’ll
keep you, your family, and your intentions in my prayers. God Bless you and your work, Ron

Note from tom to the site: I am working on Papua New Guinea treating chronic disease with juicing and herbs. It is hot dangerous and the internet is the worst on earth so please excuse the lack of support over the last month.
