I had to modify my fast and add blended salads and fruit smoothies (with pulp) for a few days (2-3) to deal with the pain. I'm hoping this is related to detox, and this will slow it down. I am actually up 3 1/2 pounds this morning, but this is normal for me, and it will disappear when I return to the MC/juice fast in a couple of days.
I talked about it with a few friends and my family, and they were very supportive of the modification. I'm still not "eating" and I'm still working toward health. I'll be back on the fasting soon and will keep posting. My goals have not changed, but I have to be able to function!
