My Wonderfully Raw Journey

Severe Detox?!!! I feel horrible..help me

Rate this Entry
So today i woke up and i felt fine at first but as i started to get moving something felt a little off. My stomach was bloated and i felt gasy. I had a BM that was very loose and thick which isn't terribly un normal since im eating more fruits and veggies so i didn't think anything of it. I went to the grocery store and the whole time felt like i was going to explode in my pants!!! That's embarrassing when you can't shop normally without feeling like an old person who can't control their bowels. Finally i found a restroom and took care of business but this time everything coming out was a lot thinner and felt grainy(like seeds/nuts) this worried me a bit but my upset stomach felt a lot better and i carried on. When i got home i was feeling weak and shaky i drank some water and i was feeling hungry. I tried to grab for a banana but then i had to puke instantly! I ran to the restroom to throw up and it was a weird experience. I haven't thrown up in years and i know that throw up is supposed to be very acidic but this was very foam like and brown like ACV but a bit darker.No horrible acidic after taste nor a terrible burn in my throat. I couldn't tell what i was throwing up(food wise it looked like the carrots i ate from last night). I'm not sure if i'm having detox symptoms or if something i ate made me sick. A recap of what i ate yeasterday:

Chia seed cereal with currants apples and almond milk

Ruby Red Grapefruit

Kiwi(with the skin)

Some currants by themselves

Carrots

Alissa's Fudgeballs(mine is more like brownie batter lol but its made from almond butter,dates, and raw cocao powder)

I know this a little TMI but i'm worried and this isn't the first time i've felt off while being raw and just wondering if i could have a stomach virus or if it's food related. So far i've just had a banana today and i feel the need to use the bathroom again..that'll be 3 times in the past 3 hours and i haven't thrown up again but i feel hungry also. I called off work this is just not a good day

    my sister has a bad reaction to grapefruit not unlike what you mention so maybe that's it - my sis gets hospitalised so it's quite bad when she eats even a little by mistake.

    Is there anything in that list that you don't normally eat?

    It sounds like "food poisoning" rather than detox.

    I hope you feel better soon. Maybe it would help to fast while your body recovers.

    also ... how many currants ... they go through you like a dose of salts although I wouldn't have thought they'd make you sick. Were the kiwi organic? Can't say I fancy the skins myself.

    Chia I have never eaten. Cacao would be worth looking up to see if others mention allergies.

    I normally eat these food without any problems..I LOVE Grapefruits! lol and never got sick from them and i had about about 2 handful of currants again never with any side effects. Chia seed cereal i've made before with no problems. Pretty much everything was normal for me and my kiwis were organic....idk but i was able to eat a banana and i didn't throw up but my stomach still feels off and un happy especially if im up and moving..hopefully if it is detox i can just get everything out and feel better tomorrow

    Oh no That does not sound fun. Try to keep things light and alkaline to flush your system, green juices/smoothies and blended salads, and maybe not as much fruit?
