Re: making changes to stay on fast

Riverswept,

I am sorry, I did not know that you had no thyroid. In that case yes, you need to be on the drug for that purpose only.

Acid reflux is a detox symptom and needs to be dealt with warm water or hot water is ok too. BUT not with acid blockers. These drugs are more toxic than you think, even when you are eating regularly, let alone during a fast.

I also think that acid reflux is not only acid, but junk that your body is trying to get rid of. Body chooses to get rid of junk through breath, urine, BM, sweat, and our mouth. Many people throw up acid/bile when they fast because that is the quickest exit body finds. Elevate your head with extra pillows (I am sure you do that) so there is less junk getting in your mouth.

I like your spirit. I think you can continue to fast, but do not take anything other than your thyroid medication.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
