Major digestive problems and trying P&B shakes
Hello,
I've suffered with numerous
food allergies and headaches my entire life. Lately, I'm getting joint pain in my wrists and have severe osteoarthritis in my knees. I'm not a candidate for joint replacement because I'm too young. But I think there must be a connection between the allergies and joint pain. I've taken thousands of dollars worth of supplements and tried numerous alternative medicines to no avail. I determined that I need to heal my gut from years of eating foods my body protested against so I changed my diet completely. I cut out all processed foods, grains, eggs, dairy, sugar, caffeine, etc. and only ate raw vegetables and animal proteins. Much to my dismay my symptoms got worse! I would bloat up an hour after eating lunch to an uncomfortable degree and it would remain that way overnight until I eventually passed all of the gas. I even noticed undigested lettuce in my BMs and I was taking digestants. My body didn't feel any different either. I determined that I must not be digesting the food and think maybe I have candida and/or low acid in my gut?! I have no idea. I just know that I've always been addicted to
Sugar since I was little. Anyways, I decided to try the P&B shakes because of the claims that it could draw toxins and
parasites out of your system and push all the undigested foods through. I'm sure I have these as I have so many
food allergies . Now I'm on day 5 of the P&B shakes with normally around 3 a day. I have not seen anything too exciting in the BMs other than undigested foods but I do notice things seem to take several days to exit my body. For example, I kept seeing these small white seed pods in my BMs and I finally realized it was the seeds from the cucumber I ate three days ago! Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make the cleanse more effective? I'm taking a
parasite cleanse along with it and probiotics on an empty stomach but I'm at a loss.
