Oh yeah we do eat :laugh:

24 hours fasting sounds insane, I think one of my friends mentioned doing that and constantly collapsing :worry:

They must have done it wrong

How is there a right way or a wrong way to only drink water for 14 days??

It will affect different people differently tbh. If you have blood sugar issues going into it, diabetes, hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia etc... It very much could cause blackouts

I'd recommend anyone with acid reflux or suspects stones should take 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (with the mother) diluted in water a day. Ask for a helicobactor pylori test (bacterial infection) and once clear and/or treated start with a good quality probiotic to help improve your gut health, it really helped me when I decided what I was getting from the docs (painkillers and PPI) were actually making me worse.
Since I stopped taking them I'm still in some discomfort but it's not nearly as bad, and I know I'm not putting my liver under needless stress.
Really hope you get some kind of an answer Vicky :)

I agree Kizzy, i take PROBIO7v from Holland and Barratt and i know when i miss a few days!

My Dr prescribed PPI's and they never agreed with me, one lot gave me paranoia (i kept thinking an evil spirit was trying to possess me:laugh:) and another lot slowed peristalsis to almost stopping so my food just sat in my stomach for 2 days:shocked: i stopped them immediately.

You know when Vicky first posted this I thought she'd gone a bit cray... (no offence babe)
But looking at it from a perspective of acute pain associated with lipoma then it might not be so daft?
I might try water and fruit for a week see how I feel.

Yeah I think I'm going down that route aswell to see how it goes. Raw veg, fruit and water and nowt else.

I told my daughter about it, she's not impressed :/
Will have a word with my doc about it too, if it shrinks them enough for me to avoid surgery that's great.

Day 1 of a 28 day juice fast done! :D

oh my god :joker:

Due to occasional bouts of depression I take to the bed for two or three days at a time, unable to even drag myself out of it to butter a slice of bread, never mind cook a meal. Times like this I live on two or three bananas for the duration, and feel like crap afterwards, my pee often looks like guinness I do be so dehydrated. So for someone to actually do this voluntarily sounds crazy to me.

I'm sorry to hear that itoby :( I would talk to your doctor about that guinness coloured pee can't be good no wonder you feel so down.
I'm not dehydrating don't worry anything but I'm drinking lots of water as well as 4 massive cups of juice a day it's great... so far :laugh:

I'm gunna start this on monday. Have gavs other kids over this weekend so gunna need my energy :laugh: If I start on monday then my energy will be back by the next weekend

Are you doing just the water still vicky?

Not totally sure yet. water alone is apparently the most effective healthwise :S

I decided against that, I have a juicer (who knew) it's brilliant so getting the nutrients in liquid form bonus, I'm going to do it till I see the liver specialist again in september I think :)

Hope it goes well for you Kizzy and Vicky, i'll keep nipping in to read the thread to see how you're going.

I keep falling off the wagon:umm2:

I echo Kizzy's words iToby, you need to get that pee looked at.

Here's to good health:banana:

Thanks rubymoo :) day 3 today felt a bit off last night and had a right headache but it could've been atmospheric pressure. feel ok today.

It could have been atmospheric pressure, it was muggy yesterday.

It could also be your body releasing toxins as it's being cleansed, or it could be that your body is having a tantrum and craving the foods that it's addicted to.

Keep with it for a few weeks (if you can) then introduce different foods one at a time, and note your reaction.

:wavey:

Thanks yep thought so as my daughter felt the same, planning to stick to it till september *crosses fingers*

Found a great site with lots of great juice recipes, not that I'm trying to talk you out of the water fast vicky .. *hehe I totes am*

Day 8 for me, did you start today Vicky?

Do you have more energy kizzy? Any side effects other than the headache the other day?

I haven't felt that bad at all I'm really surprised Annie, I'm tired today but I went for a walk yesterday so that's probably it. I do think the amount of inflammation in my body has reduced a lot :)
