Day 1 of a 28 day juice fast done!

[iToby]

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

[Vicky.]

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

[Kizzy]

Are you doing just the water still vicky?

[Vicky.]

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

[Kizzy]

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

Are you drinking a lot of natural fruit juice?

The reason I ask is, my husband has a genetic liver disease. He has always been advised not to drink fruit juice because of the fructose. Fructose can only be metabolised by the liver where it is converted into fat but that fat remains on the liver and can bring about fatty liver disease or confound other diseases of the liver and gallbladder.

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

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

Here's to good health

[Kizzy]

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.

Day 8 for me, did you start today Vicky?

[AnnieK]

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

[Kizzy]

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

[Kizzy]

Day 10 now, still feeling ok

[Vicky.]

Didn't start on monday coz Skye got took into hospital sunday night, and spending 2 nights in hospital theres not really anything to do except worry, watch TV and eat junk

[AnnieK]

Is she ok Vicky?

[Vicky.]

Yeah she is now. Just issues with her chest again like everytime she gets a cold Was a bit worse this time though as her oxygen was down to 60% and she had to wear an oxygen mask all of sunday night :S

[Kizzy]

Oh god Vicky so sorry to hear that, hope she's feeling much better now x

[Vicky.]

OK...I seem to have discovered a trigger..though it does come randomly mostly. It seems a hell of a lot worse if I eat red meat. Had a beef dinner this afternoon and I am now in utter agony. Last weekend I had steak, and I was the same.

I still say gallbladder with this information.
I stopped eating red meat because in made my ill to eat it, but I have chosen a path of health management in an effort to keep my gallbladder in... and this is one of the steps I took when I was around 20 years old to do so

[Kizzy]

There's odd, could it be a digestive problem? I guess it's hard to break tough meat down.
Get on the juice Vicky
