I am doing a bowel detox so you don't have to | The aftermath and looking back

3 days have passed with me only eating the fermented palm oil fiber shakes from Vitamunda.nl and after three days of it, it felt like enough even though there is an option to go for the 6 day detox or even the 12 day detox (which is mostly recommended for weight loss which I am not trying..and 12 days with no food? Damn, then you really don't like yourself ;) )

Day 3 just went really smooth as I wrote in this post but there was also the day before where I was not such a happy camper as you were able to read in this post.

So it went so easy I considered throwing in an extra day of detox but then I decided that I just wouldn't.



Rebuilding

One of the reasons where I stopped with the detox is because of the rebuilding the days after the shake days. Vitamunda recommends on the first day after to only eat liquids (soup, yoghurt, smoothies) and on the second day after to boil all of your foods before taking it in.

I get this proces. On the first day after the stomach and the the bowels are used to liquids by now and apart from the biofilm layer inside of the bowel, also the 'normal' protective layer has taken a hit here. In other words....if you eat a burger as your first meal, there is a good chance that the stomach won't be that happy with the amount it has to take in. But also the bowel doesnt't have their 'good' bacteria there which you have to give some loving to.

So I also bought me some of this probiotica stuff and also yoghurt to get the normal bowel bacteria going on again. Will this help? I have no idea, but this is really a matter of 'why not try it' and see what happens.





Holy crap!

Warning: too much info coming right up!


Did I get out the biofilm as it was written how that goes? Well, I think on the morning after day 3 it produced something that looked like how the biofilm should. Not in a rush, just as a normal trip to the restroom. So that was easy.

And after that I started eating differently again with the liquids and the boiled food as prescribed. With also surprisingly not a lot of appetite. So it really also does something to what uou are used to digesting. Which means that if you would use this for weight loss, it surely would work as well.





What it will do in the long run on the allergies and on the general feeling of getting energised again, I guess that is too early to tell at this pontint.

But what I do know is doing a detox is not that bad at all and I will surely do it again if the results are as I hope for.

So detoxing: I say YAY





What the hell am I doing again and why?

I am doing a cleansing treatment of the bowel by drinking these kinds of shakes. It should work as a detox that it cleans out the inside of the bowel and by that gives room to create a better immune system.

I am experimenting with this because someone I know didn't have allergies anymore after this treatment, so that is also why am trying. Nothing wrong with working on the the balance in the body right?

Nice to know it wasn't a torture! Did you had any allergie/hypersensitivity to food that you can later assess if the detox worked?

Curious on what the friends think of it!

Well, after reading your "journey" it kind of convinced me to some day (a very distant one) to do it this detoxing too... Not sure if with the meds that I have to take on daily basis it is a good idea, since some of them are supposed to be swallowed after you had something in the stomach. But I'll ask my MD about it. I'm struggling with some mind "fog" and some restlessness that could be diminished with these type of gut cleaning process.

By the way, I laugh so loud in the "Holly Crap" part 💩!

hehehehe it is holy crap!

Well I could imagine that some meds could be taken in with the shakes that you makes with the juice, but indeed...those are questions that MDs have the answer to, and not us simple homebloggers haha.

yeah i feel a lot sharper in the head indeed. what they say is that all health starts in the bowels and somewhere I believe a part of that. Stuff to think about!

I'm positively sure that gut health is directly connected with mental and general health. Since I've evicted bread and pasta from my daily meals, and introduce even more fresh vegetables in my daily meals, my general health improved by far :)

Just like we have talked in person before. Since I've read this book everything changed for good in my daily routines

Brainmaker, okay curious!

Welll up until now I always had like an iron tummy resistant to everything so still trying to work out how this new situation goes.

So bread and pasta gone, or gluten in general?

Gluten in general, but I'm not a gluten free diet "only" (90% off gluten). When I don't incorporate gluten in my meals, I fell so much better... mentally and physically. Maybe due to my auto-imune health issue (MS)

Interesting, I might check it out, been wondering if we should try some sort of detox, for me and boyfriend it would be good for different reasons so let me read into that. Thanks for the reminder.. will do it after my trip to Madrid though lol. Definitely not going to risk any weird toilet behaviours while on a trip :)

Hope you're good!

hahah no indeed. Do this one a moment where you can take some dedicated time for yourself and plan your whole schedule around it. Not on a trip for sure.

Exactly, for various reasons this is quite a good thing to do I guess? (and I was very sceptic beforehand!)
