Trouble distinguishing hunger after ...

Hi I am on day 21 of water fasting. Yesterday my mouth was so dry and coated that I searched the forum and found a few posts mentioning oil pulling.I oil pulled with coconut oil and it began to take effect in the evening. My mouth felt comfortable but then I immediately regret it because I found myself unable to distinguishing true hunger with more and more saliva produced in my mouth!
I did develope food craving for a couple days already. Every night I crave meat (which I actually seldom eat normally). But yesterday I also felt my stomach move with liquid rolling inside. Gas and a salty taste came up my throat and I felt like vomiting but couldn't. I felt a bit like vomiting for about three nights now but yesterday was much more extreme.
I am now wondering if the coconut oil pulling triggered hunger signals in my body? Or if my body is really coming close to depletion? I feel more and more difficult to resist food especially with the saliva in my mouth now I feel I can put anything in my mouth any minute. My mouth is still dry and my tongue is only slightly coated right now but it seems to be easily washed away with saliva.
Does anyone have any experience with this or any insight? I do want to continue my fast if its the oil pulling that's producing all these reactions. But at the same time I don't want to miss my body's message if it's really time for me to resume eating.....
Thank you all in advance.

This is a reply to # 2,100,593Hi Rupu, didn't you mention something about diluted raddish juice? If I'm not confused and you really had that, that would be your culprit. You are not on day 21, you are on day 2 or 3 of a new fast. Starting to eat after a fast triggers cravings.
At this point I'd say there's no wrong thing to do. If you decide to start refeeding, all is good: 20 days is a significant time and you will get many benefits. If you decide to wait out the nausea, you won't be interrupting the body's final housecleaning. This end-of-fast nausea happened to me as well. Methinks the liver cleans itself last, so it means your detox is almost done, hm?
As usual I don't claim to be an absolute authority but these are my 2 cents.
Good luck!

This is a reply to # 2,100,604Hi ggxx, thank again for your reply. I forgot to update you I did have a bit of diluted radish juice, less than 100ml and very diluted. I felt immediately better afterwards with no appetite at all and resumed fasting. My ketosis level went back to very high the next day so I took it as a continuation of the fast. But now that you mention it maybe that's actually what got me all the cravings.... Hm.... That makes sense too......
I'm trying to shrink my fibroid with the fast and with the ultrasound I did just two days ago, I actually made some progress so I really hope to continue. I also assume since I have the fibroid, my body has more reserve to make a longer fast? If I don't run out of other essential nutrients? It's just right now that the cravings and the cleared tongue due to oil pulling are confusing me.....
You mentioned that the liver cleans itself the last. Do you mean that my wanting to throw up is due to some sort of detox liquid expelled to the stomach from the liver? It happens at night for a few days now. I also wonder if I should induce vomiting? It bothers me I can't sleep but can't throw up either. Is it harmful to contain those liquid in my stomach for too long? I also feel it running up my esophagus which feels quite uncomfortable.....
Thank you so much for your input!

This is a reply to # 2,100,609I don't have an answer for you, but wanted to encourage you on your journey saying that I was able to get rid of fibrosis by fasting for 24 days two times with a month and a half break in between. This happened long time ago. My Dr. who was knowledgeable in fasting suggested deluded mineral water when feel nauseated. I used an enema almost every day as he recommended, which helped me a lot with my symptoms.
How are you feeling now? Better? I agree that the oil pulling may triggered all the problems you mentioned. Stay strong! You will have the same results as I did - complete cure, why not?

This is a reply to # 2,101,271Thank you so much nooneip! That's a huge encouragement! May I ask how large was your fibrosis and how old you were when you did your fasts? Also, how much weight did you loose during your fasts? I am 32 and my fibroid was about 10x9x8cm before I started the fast. I did an ultrasound on day 18 and it shrunk to 9x8x6cm. (I broke the fast during what ggxx explained as the healing crisis and now I regret it too as I think it might have helped me shrunken it even more). My problem right now is that I am extremely underweight and weak and my mom is very worried. I wa skinny to begin with but I didn't expect to loose these much weight. My mom says that I look like I've been in a concentration camp. Were you able to gain most of your weight back during the one and half month before you started your second fast? Your feedback really helps me. Thank you!

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,101,513if i was shrinking a fibroid i would use distilled water with a few drops of iodine
that would be a mineral water specifically designed for what ails you in my opinion
iodine can cause detox symptoms and you may need support for that

This is a reply to # 2,101,271I am curious about how you are counting the days of your fast, how to fast 24 days two times a month when there are only 30 days in a month, do you fast for 12, break for 6 and then fast for 12 more days?

This is a reply to # 2,101,914Sorry about the confusion - English is my second language. What I wanted to say was: I water fasted for 24 days then took a break for 45-50 days and then started another 24 days Water Fast. It took more than 3 month total.

This is a reply to # 2,100,609Hi there :)
Yes, the liver gets toxins out in the bile. Normally these get absorbed by poo and get out of the body, but when wfing there is no movement in the intestines. If the bile is not so toxic I guess it gets washed away by the water, but sometimes toxins in the bile cause nausea too. That's why nausea is a pretty common detox symptom on a wf. I induced vomiting and I yhink it was a mistake bc I really irritated whoever iny body is responsible for vomit control. For me, I could not keep liquids down. I got scared that I would get too dehydrated and broke the fast (improperly too) which in retrospect I think was a mistake.
As for the oil pulling and the raddish, the problem is not yhat tjey get you out of ketosis, the problem is that they restart your digestive system. Taste in your mouth and substances to process in your stomach tell your body it should get ready to digest --- therefore cravings. I don't think you damaged your fast or anything, just that your digestive system needed time to go back to sleep. Sounds like you're still going :)
Can't speak to the fybroid bc I don't know anything about it, but good luck! Ihope all works out well!

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,101,454Thank you ggxx! I'm learning a lot from you! I now see the consequences of interrupting the body's healing course :-) The radish and oil pulling are both mistakes although at the time all I could think of is trying to stop the extreme uncomfortableness. I guess I need to respect the body's needs more!
Yes I am continuing my fas but maybe only for a few more days because my mom is getting extremely concerned about my weight. The cravings are gone and nausea has become better. I've been having this metallic taste in my mouth for a couple days now and yesterday I noticed that all my tooth fillings turned completely black! I got really scared that I might be dissolving all that metal and swallowing them into my system. Did you ever experience this? I wonder if this is normal or if it's actually doing more harm than good to my body? Thanks!

This is a reply to # 2,100,609Fibroids are common in people who are deficient in Iodine.
When you swished oil, your tongue sent a signal to the liver to get ready to digest oil. Then the liver prepared the enzymes and had no oil to digest because you spit it out.
That could be why your stomach was irritated. It was confused.
I would start taking Iodine if you are not already doing that.
That is my guess. JMHO. reserve the right to be wrong

This is a reply to # 2,101,913Thank you glaxony, that explains a lot of my questions. I've also came across discussions abou Iodine deficiency leading to fibroids and I just bought some online. I will definitely start to take it. I will also look into the detox symptoms that you mentioned. Thank you!
