One week ago Sunday I broke a fast after 25 days. I broke the fast because I was feeling absolutely miserable, and we were getting ready to take a trip for Christmas. I broke the fast with oranges on Sunday, added other fruits the next day, then on the third day added eggs, nuts, and whole grains. I haven't had any red meats. Maybe I came out too quickly, but something is definitely wrong.

Another possibility is that there is a stomach virus going around this past week, and everyone I know has spent at least an 8 hour period with vomiting and diahrea. Maybe I was feeling awful not because I had fasted 25 days, but because I had become infected with this virus.

Anyway, I have not had a solid bowel movement since my first "tarry" bowel movements after breaking the fast. Since then my stools have been nearly pure liquid and accompanied by incredible bloating and the most disgusting belches. My wife can hardly stand to ride in the car with me without the windows down because of my belches (and we're in Wisconsin in the middle of winter).

I've started taking a probiotic before each meal (biffodus and acidipholus) as well as a couple Beano tablets for enzymes, but I haven't seen an improvement. I'm wondering if maybe the stomach virus thwarted the recolonization of my digestive flora following the fast. Something has to change soon! I'm getting up every hour at night to belch and dump water out of my bowels.

Any suggestions?
