Hello all!
I am in about week 4 of going raw, and have progressively gone from about 80% raw 4 weeks ago to 100% raw in this past week.
I am sure people have posted on this issue before, but I need some advice and wisdom with my situation! Part of me is kind of worried, and part of me is telling myself to relax...
Ok, so for the past 3 weeks I have felt great! Increased moods and energy, skin started having a glow, losing weight in all of the right places, etc. Then yesterday morning I woke up with mild nausea. I got out of bed, was flushed and shaky and weak. I have had diarrea now for about 24 hours. No appetite, although I have been eating small amounts so I don't get weak. Drinking lots of water. The nausea comes and goes, but the diarrea kept me up and down much of last night and continues today.
Is this detox, or food poisoning? How can I know for sure?
One more detail, and sorry for the graphics, but I guess it's all natural... :o ...but my diarrea is really weird looking. There is this film to it. Like an oily, clear film that causes bubbles. It's weird. Never had that with food poisoning before, which has made me think it could be detox.
I would really appreciate any feedback on this! I can endure the discomfort as long as I know it's all just house-cleaning!
Oh, and how long will this last?!? (My butt is starting to get raw!!!) :eek:
Thanks!
