OK, friends...is this normal? (Not for the faint of heart)
I'm starting week two of my healthy eating plan. NO sugar, grains, gluten, or dairy. And, well, let's just say...things are running a little too smoothly and A LOT! Is this normal? Last night I probably spent two hours in the restroom. My stays in there seemed to get longer and longer, too. I was a little afraid that I'd dehydrate right there on the toilet. (I know - YUCK- that's the most detail I'll go into, I promise!) So, my question is...have you done an eating plan similar to mine? AND, did you experience a period like this as well? It's been a few days with last night being the worst so far. Is it all the fruit? Am I expelling toxins that my body had been holding on to? If you know...please fill me in. THANK YOU. And now...back to regular life and potty-free conversation. :)

Unfortunately this is the way your body adjusts and it should get better after a few days. Make sure to drink LOTS of water all throughout the day because yes, you are expelling toxins.
ReplyDeleteThis didn't happen to me but my body did start to do weird things. I felt like a had the flu for about 4 days when I was three weeks into my no sugar adventure... my friend Marybeth warned me this might happen. I called my doctor and kept her in the loop. And I agree with Erin... drink lots of water.
ReplyDeletePraying for you today!!!
