My Status (Re: All Tinctures bypass Digestive System?)

Hi Uny,

I've been taking 8IF#1 daily spread out thru-out the day for the past few days. I've experimented with mixing with juice/water/IF#2. It just seems no matter what I do, my stomach just gets irritated and progressively getting worse. In fact, last nite, I had a mild ache after taking one IF#1 mixed with one cup of juice.

I had two bms yesterday with the help of rectal suppository. I just feel like IF#1 is not doing much (other than irritating my stomach) since I started the juice fast. I have no bm today. Despite having 2bms yesterday, I feel backup and the IF#2 I took since the last bm are definitely still inside of me.

I'm Water Fasting today, mostly, not because I'm hungary... I have no urge to eat. It's just that I felt a sharp ache in my stomach in the late afternoon, I then took 2tsp of Slippery Elm Bark mixed with water and another one few hours later; hoping to soothe the stomach or whatever it is a little. I've also been getting a nasty taste in my mouth, only when my stomach is empty and there's been a large gap since my last meal/juice. I'm not sure if it's acid reflux. It doesn't taste sour.

My exit burn has calmed down substantially since I stopped the cayenne. There is still swelling but going to bathroom no longer hurts. It still bugs me if I sit too long in one position. I tried putting the white oak bark paste, but I couldn't get it to stay on long enough (mine is mostly external) and not sure if it's doing anything.

At this point, I'm more concerned with stomach ache than the exit burn. If I can't take IF#1, then I can't get bms, everything else I tried so hard to do just goes into waste.

I'll resume juice fasting tomorrow. Not sure if I'd be taking any IF#1, I think the stomach needs more rest. I tried prune juice and Smooth Move before, didn't do much for me. I probably didn't take enough or make the tea strong enough. I'll try again and take some IF#2 at the same time. Hopefully, that'll do the trick , if not I might have to resort to Epsom Salt. I'll try to get a colon hydrotherapy appt on tuesday. Next time, I'll time the colon hydrotherapy right have the Water Fast when I expect to be constipated.

p.s. Should I'll also grab some Benitote Clay/Activiated Charcoal to absorb the toxin since I have such long transit time?
