Severe Constipation

[Guest guest]

Hi, I could write a story on various symptoms I have, but to make it easier for

you guys to read I will just write it in point form.

- I have been having a problem of alternating constipation and diarrhea (mostly

constipation) for the past 3,4 years.

- This was fixed for sometime (at least the constipation even though the feces

were a little bit softer) when I just gave up on organic meats and veggies and

carbs after being stressed out so much with everything going on in my life and

went crazy on junk foods and major amount of breads and pastas (even though they

were organic) for about 5 months. This obviously encouraged my candida

overgrowth.

- I was eating a " balanced " diet with organic meats and carbs before this crisis

of junk food eating. Some breads, steamed veggies moderately cooked meats with

about 6-8 tbsp of extra virgin coconut oil and olive oil a day (ratios vary).

- After I screwed up with my diet and felt worse afterwards Itold myself that I

can't continue this forever (except my bowel movement was pretty regular,

amazingly)and I went on a raw diet for like 2weeks which did not work out for me

with having no good juicer and not being able to eat enough to satisfy myself

since I wasn't able to eat fruits at all (obviously).

- Then I stumbled upon your site, sorta jumped into it thinking I was able to

tolerate all the fat since I was eating a lot anyways in the past. But that

thought really made me in a bad situation I believe...

-Here are examples of my first day of your diet (optimal diet) and few other

examples on other days:

My recommended intake ratio: Protein 71g Fat 174~250g Carb56g

First day: Fat160g/Protein119g/Carb70g

Example 2: Fat 165g/Carb43g/Protein 202g

Example 3: Fat295g/Carb31g/Protein 166g

Example 4:Fat 240g/Carb30g/Protein 135g

Latest day: Fat236g/Carb14g/Protein71g

As you can notice I have adjusted to my optimal diet(since 2 days ago), so I

hope this is going to help, but I'm still not sure if I should be continuing

like this. I was being disobedient cause I only way 56~58kg or so, but need to

eat a lot in order to not feel hungry to a point where I am disturbed at night

and can't go to sleep.

-When I have the most severe constipation clear water enemas don't even work. I

even retained it for 20mins, but just water comes out and no feces. Don't have a

major urge " to go " either. Feels like my body is holding onto it or stuck

somewhere. Overall when this constipation happens I loose energy to think or

move.

- On a worse day, I am sleepy and tired and exhausted through out the whole day.

To a point I need to lie down in bed all day, which is happening quite often,

recently.

-I am eating 3tbsp CO, 6tbsp olive oils and 6~8tbsp ghee right now and fully on

supplements.

-It's been a months since I've been on this program

Questions to sum up my post.

Q1 Should I still be doing clear water enemas, occasionally even though it's not

working too well? I've done 3 so far (every 5 to 6 days).

Q2 Should I continue on my adjusted optimal diet (ratio) and hang in tight until

these symptoms relieve? Or do you think I should bring back some carbs into my

diet and slow things or take things back a bit and see what happens? If

anything, the foods I'll bring back will be nut butters or something that won't

feed candida too much. Even though I know I can't make things faster to heal

myself, I sure don't want to slow things down too much.

Q3 Do you think it's a good idea to go on the 9 day program? If so, is it safe

to make bone broth with my old stainless steel pot? Magnet does stick on it, but

has a black burn stain at the bottom of the pot, which I don't know how to get

rid of, since it's really old.

Q4 Do you think I should also decrease my fat intake? I guess I misunderstood

how you were saying I could get constipated from eating too much protein to my

fat ratio and just increased my fat a lot not thinking about the healing

reactions.

Q5 Is it possible my healing process will stop from continuing my optimal diet

or since it's been a months now, should I just continue and bare with the

reactions?

I am not sure if my symptoms are from healing reactions or I am just messing

things up. If I need to go back to my previous " balanced diet " I guess I will.

I was over-confident about I how much I could take. Sorry for the super long

message, but I need a well-covered detailed advice from you guys so I can

happily be on this program without worries .
