Hi everyone,

I appreciate all of your help and guidance with me. I’ve struggled quite a bit these last 2- 2 ½ weeks with symptoms that were new to me, after my second LF. For those who did not read my previous post, I struggled with terrible lower abdominal (so intestinal) bloating and gas that I couldn't get rid of, no appetite, and nausea after eating even a tiny bit of food. I also felt dizzy/weak, etc, but that is likely due to the over colon cleansing I did after. I overdid it with bowel cleansing once I started to bloat, and threw off my electrolyte balance, which was not good.

One member suggested trying castor oil internally, which is gentle. I have been doing that -- ½ Tablespoon 2x a day @ night and breakfast. I also did a Coffee Enema, which caused me lots of gas. The next morning I did a baking soda enema to clean out the gas (even though I did a plain water enema after the CE) and because I felt one quick enema after the Coffee-Enema wasn’t enough. I felt a lot better in terms of gas/bloating. This may also be due to the Castor Oil.

To the member who suggested the CO, if you are reading this: first, thank you. And secondly, I’ve been doing this for 3-4 days now, and have not seen parasites in my stool. Just an FYI…

Despite the improvement in gas/bloating, I have been having something interesting. I have tightness/pressure mostly right under my chest (so ribcage area). It is mostly on the right hand side, but I can also feel it across too at times. This is a pretty new feeling for me, though I may have had some bloating sensation in this region 1x before. I’ve read it may be related to the liver, but most of the time I read this, it’s in people who were already having those symptoms – not those who starting having them after the LF, though I did find a few of those as well. I also didn’t look for all that long.

Also, my symptoms are worse at night, and I get nausea after eating anything- even small- at night still, but not during the day. Also, my appetite is still MIA….I’d like it back! And I am not properly digesting the small amount of extremely easy to digest food I am eating -- veggie smoothies (those are fine), and steamed/cooked veggies and a small amount of fish. I saw a whole piece of spinach in my stool.

So my questions:: 1) what do you think this upper abdominal pressure/tightness is? Is it stones moving forward? 2) Why am I still nauseous with no appetite despite DEFINITELY cleaning my colon enough, to the point where I can’t do it anymore because I was having electrolyte imbalances and making myself dizzy and sick, etc, 3) why would I be nauseous after food worse at night (despite it being the same as day time food)? And 4) What I should do – should I flush again soon, or give myself a break?

You don’t have to answer everything, but any and all thoughts appreciated!
