Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 KT is a diuretic. You may be experiencing dehydration when you drink that much of it, check your symptoms at www.watercure2.com CMR Irritability and Detox For months I was very careful about only taking in about a cup or cup and a half of KT a day. I did this for a long while to check out my reaction to the KT and frankly I did not know if KT would poison me or not. However with having a good results I slowly up the intake to about four or five cups a day. For a while I noticed no strange reactions, and only good things. However, with this last batch of KT I noticed a few strange symptoms that I wanted to see if others have experienced as well. Some minor dry skin on my legs, brain fog, irritability and some minor soreness when I use the restroom facilities because of an increase of needing to visit it more often (sorry, tried to say that in a nice way, but it appears that my food digests a lot better now with KT). I am sure that some of this is a lack of water, which I have increased dramatically which means I am visiting the WC even more often.good news is I am getting some great reading in though :> Anyway I am wondering if this is a detox reaction I might be experiencing? It reminds me of when I do a low carb diet and am in ketosis, but I have not checked for ketosis so I am not sure. Anyone else experience similar reactions? I have not changed my diet, though I know I am losing some water retention and with the other issues I am wondering if there some fat loss and other negative things leaving my body. I am also tired, I mean really tired, and this is the first time I have felt this way in months since taking the KT. This week I cut back on my work load and really rested and took care of myself. I did not know if my body was fighting something or if it is just detox. Anyone else ever deal with these issues? Kellie Quote
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Hi Kellie, I felt that way for the first three months on KT and I was only drinking 1.5 ounces! Besides the digestive issues, irritability was most noticeable. Then it went away but as I increase the amount I drink, these issues return if I am not careful with amounts. I personally think it is a detox effect and take it as a sign not to do too much too soon (no points awarded for suffering) and to drink my water and take good care of myself, as you said. I am curious to hear what others think though. Take care, Sharon Irritability and Detox For months I was very careful about only taking in about a cup or cup and a half of KT a day.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Hi Kellie- What you describe does sound like a " detox/cleansing " reaction. Here's a link to a good article on the subject of improving health and detoxifying the body, what to expect, etc. http://www.jonbarron.org/newsletters/news030929.htm All the best, Dana -----Original Message----- From: original_kombucha [mailto:original_kombucha ] On Behalf Of kelrivas >>However, with this last batch of KT I noticed a few strange symptoms that I wanted to see if others have experienced as well.
