Hello! I couldn’t sleep at all last night because I took the Tylenol 3’s (with codeine) before bed and it made me SO SICK. I felt like I was having a gallbladder attack, the band of pain going right around my ribs to my back. I felt nauseated too. What happened?! I don’t have a gallbladder anymore, it was removed a few years back before I knew about holistics. I wonder if the drugs put too much strain on my liver adn made it hurt? Or was it phantom pain (the last time had T3’s was when I was having a gallbladder attack, coincidentally), or just part of the nausea that codeine can bring so ...

Anything can throw your digestive system off. For me, unless I see my chiro every 2 weeks I get a little curve shape in my spine (like a small C) instead of it being completely straight and I can’t digest anything. Who would have thought that the straightness of the spine could affect digestion?! If you’re worried, you could always do a juice fast or just juice everyday for breakfast to help clean your gallbladder. I’ve read people claim apple, pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon are beneficial for the gallbladder. Or do a gallbladder flush, if you’re so inclined. Listen to your intuition!

An avocado a day, sweet potatoes and squash will definitely help you maintain some weight, unless you have parasites like fledging mentioned, in which case they’ll eat all your nutrition. Parasite cleansing is worth looking in to as part of a total body cleanse for you, though it may not be the complete solution.

lol That’s okay :) I take silica everyday, it’s great for making your nails stronger, and I find taking it helps my skin. Though I imagine it would only help if you have a deficiency to start with, but try it and give it at least a month - I found it took me 3 months to see a difference. A powdered capsule kind is fine. There’s this kind of pricey liquid silica also avaliable, but I’ve tried it and never noticed a difference, so don’t bother wasting your money on that kind heh :) The powdered stuff (from the spring horsetail plant) works well enough.   [End]

Yikes!! What were you eating before? can you give us a detailled description of your diet? I’d juice a lot if I were you - maybe a juice fast for a few days, and throw in an avocado everyday and watery fruit, like watermelon, for the nourishment your body needs and to flush all that stuff out. Also, maybe a 100% raw diet isn’t for you then? You might consider adding back some cooked foods into your diet so you don’t feel so deprived. What were you doing for protein on your raw diet? A deficiency could cause you to feel extra-hungry and deprived. You’d benefit from protein shakes (h ...

Quinoa is a grain, and most grains are acidic. If you find you don’t get indigestion after eating it or heartburn, I wouldn’t worry about it - just don’t eat it in massive quantities and leave plenty of room for fruits and veggies. The only thing I’d suggest is making sure not to combine it with acid fruits like oranges, lemons, tomatoes, ect. because that’ll only make the acid much, much worse. You should wait to eat these fruits an hour before eating grains or 3 hours after. I can’t say I know much about yogurt, but dairy is mucous forming - that being said, in small quantities while ...

Your diet sounds a lot more unhealthy than tomatoes. You may want to rethink it. ”Cheeze” sandwiches and fries? ”A little” veggies? You could have a tomato allergy, if you’re worried, go see a doctor to get tested. There’s also the fact that if you combine tomatoes with an acidic food (like grains, meat, dairy, ect) you can get terrible symptoms (like severe heartburn, bloating ect) because your body is already so acidic it can’t handle it. I’d think about an acid/alkaline diet instead.   [End]
