Everything i eat makes me feel like I just ate a brick, even drinking water. Can I try fasting for a week to?

Question

give my digestive system and internal organs a break. All these years of heavy eating and impulsive snacking have taken it's toll on me. My stomach is very weak and I get indgestion often. I've tried eating light meals eating easy-to-digest food, even liquid food and lots of fiber but I still get stomach discomfort like bloated stomach and stomach heaviness. Thankx

Answer 1

Have you considered the possibility that you may have several severe food allergies? You can be tested by an allergist, your doctor can refer you. If you think however that your problem comes from a lifetime of the wrong food taking its toll, then fasting is going to be a completely miserable experience for you. See your doctor and make small changes like no junk, no refined sugar, no dairy, etc. Do this a week at a time and after a period of 6 months or so, slowly re-introduce these things into your diet (if you feel like it, that is).

Answer 2

Water fasting can be harsh the first three days. I've used fasting to quit smoking and it worked rather well. When studying fasting I found that most people would rather do a juice fast because it seems to have an over all better outcome. If you do a juice fast make sure you give time for fruits to digest before you intake a vegetable juice and vise versa. Fruits mixed with vegetables can have a tendancy to cancel each other out.

If you water fast you'll start to taste all those nasty chemicals you induced over the years. That is around the second day. Thats when the cleansing starts to commence powerfully. Five days seemed to suffice well for me. I then stuck as close to a raw vegan diet for around a week afterwards.

It could be hard to stay strictly raw vegan cause some canned foods such as kidney beans are cooked. I just suggest a raw vegan diet after a fast because your body has to get used to digesting again. Also you want to get a great amount of fiber such as eating frosted mini wheats or something. NEVER eat meat right after a fast.

Honest, this same thing happened to me. I drank a little drink, or ate a small sandwich on diet bread, and I felt bloated, right up under my diaphragm. It could have been a serious medical condition. But I decided to tackle it by having just one thing to eat and drink all day. I felt better. That was actually the kick-off of a successful diet for me that made me lose 70 lbs +. I need to lose. My doctor told me so. But without the bloatedness and discomfort, and me worrying about what it was, I never would have begun. I don't know if you need to lose. But if you do, this is a good place to start.

Please consult a doc or naturopath before doing so.

Answer 5

Stay away from coffee and spicy foods. Eat only small meals and try some Activa. It helps your digestive system.

Answer 6

Why ask, course you can if you want. Could help, if it doesn't seem to be go to a doctor or naturopath but doctors only order tests which generally don't turn up anything and they say your fine when you still feel not fine so I would try every other option before you waste your time on them.

Answer 7

properly... the factor is which you consume carefully as an occasion do no longer consistently consume fatty ingredients yet try to replace a snack as such with cheese (stable for calcium besides as different dairy products), yet once you do unlike dairy products mutually with cheese or milk: try a yogurt mutually with Actimel. in spite of the undeniable fact that, you're able to maximum surely consume carbohydrates as with out them you will start to experience susceptible and fatigued: leaving you to be hungry throughout the day snacking on candy and chocolate as such. attempt to consume eco-friendly vegetables besides because of the fact the darker the vegetable the extra iron it consists of. in spite of the undeniable fact that, I accept as true with you on lots of the ingredients you dislike yet hidden ingredients may well be extra risky than the ingredients you 'refrain your self' from eating mutually with tuna pasta because it may comprise mayonnaise that's oil (extra oil) & eggs!

Answer 8

Drinking one liter of water for every 44lbs is mandatory when you are observing wt. management with replacing two of your meals with cellular nutrition which has optimum protein, low salt, low sugar, low fat and low carbohydrate -either partially or fully and having one meal of your choice to reduce weight and do the weight maintenance after losing the desired weight by replacing one meal and having two regular meals for the equal period of weight loss, water one liter for every 44lbs., to be free from your current situation.

Answer 9

No fasting. See an internist or gastroenterologist. You may have an ulcer or some other problem.

Answer 10

If you have to ask about this it's better to ask it to a doctor instead.
