Well I was looking for a loop hole chrisb and you came up short!!! ha-ha..... (I was just about to end this misery with a tall dark roast... coffee is such a solution for constipation for me!!! ... and I read your post and thought twice, so here I am, still fasting... (and constipated)... thanks to you!!! kidding, of course.
Thanks for the reminder of Fonty's suggestion to just leave the bowels alone. That is true, no matter how severe the nature of the constipation.
Unfortunately, fruit is totally restricted on my candida diet. Like Sky22, I would like to eventually do a fast of 3 weeks or more such that this can be cleared up (??hopefully??) but at the moment, any trace of Sugar makes my stomach go crazy... I look 6 months pregnant!! So fruit is a no-go. Perhaps I could juice some greens?
