Re: 2nd liver cleanse done and not in good shape -one question

Hi Pat1
The Bristol Diet book said that some people cant process plant proteins as they are missing some enzymes. I should imagine egg whites would qualify as animal protein but if you do have the swollen belly I'd get a doctor specialist to guide you through the recovery. All cleasnsing diets remove protein from the diet for sometimes weeks/months at a time and your body just cant function like that. The starving African children have an extreme form of protein deficiency where the blood levels become extremely low and this causes fluid shifts in the gut. Of course once the swelling is present it causes all sorts of digestive symptoms. Please get a specialists opinion if this sounds like you.
