Re: once a week RUNS/nausea after eating my first taste of grden of life coconut oil

June 4, 2004

I was feeliing like I was getting a cold...........like every 4-5 days for quite

awhile and now it maybe happens once a month. Lasts for 24-36 hours so

something must be clearing up. I have also been using coconut oil lately and

didn't think of die off. I do notice since taking CO that I no longer am having

any heartburn or stomache aches.........other than once a week with the

diarreaha. (sp?)

Maybe the Rejuvenec (sp?) will help with this?

I have a really hard time swallowing though that our bodies will go through or

re-experience EVERY disease or illness we ever had to regain healing. I was a

major drinker for YEARS way back............can't imagine having to go through a

lengthy hangover for several months to regain health. And how would ones body

re-experience a miscarriage? Or depression? or anxiety?

Any facts or research that anyone has to back that up? Not trying to be

difficult it is that I find it so incrediably hard to believe. I am trying to

be upbeat and positive about my recovery and don't care if I feel worse before I

get better. However the thought of having to go through 2-3 years of disease or

illness flashbacks is not a pleasant thought.

It seems that adding a few tablespoons a day of coconut oil has given me the

runs as well. It been three days now and I soiled the sheets bad last night

(sorry.) I've been having such a problem with this drizzle that comes out,

(something I can't ever remember having,) that I went in today for colon

hydrotherapy. The practitioner told me I must have been eating too much oil.

The speculum (the thing they put in you,) was covered with greasy oil. She

said the oil is what's causing me the runs and it's because at least some of

it wasn't being digested. I gradually increased coconut oil from just a

touch up to 2 or 3 tablespoons a day over a week long period or so.

She told me that any oil, good or bad, is generally harder to digest than

other foods because it's so concentrated. One gram of fat has 2 1/2 times

the food energy (calories) of either protein or carbohydrates. So even if

they're " good for you " they make more work for your digestion especially if

you have a weakened system.

Subject: [ ] once a week RUNS/nausea after eating my first

taste of grden of life coconut oil

i can relate the problem of getting the runs!

i'm actually suffering from that today.

no headache the way jeanne described, but i feel like i have a cold.

last night i had a scratchy throat, this morning it was still there,

with the feelings of getting a cold. i think i have the cold symptoms

under control and thank goodness, i'm done working for the week, so

the rest of my busywork can be done mostly from right here at my desk

for the next three days (not as much of a drain on the system as

running all over town).

i bought some garden of life coconut oil today. after researching it

further, i wanted to see the difference for myself, after trying the

omega nutrition brand for the past week.

i ate a tablespoon (maybe a little more) when i got home, on an empty

stomach. its really good. very coconutty

within 10 minutes i felt nauseated, very much so. i've been sitting

still, reading here at my desk for the past hour and a half, waiting

for it to pass. i finally started to drink some water about 30

minutes ago, that seems to be helping.

my intuition is that it went directly into my system and either

killed some yeasties (die off?), or else made some toxins release

into my bloodstream. well, even though it wasn't a pleasant

experience, it showed me something about the potency of this oil!

i have eaten the omega nutrition oil on an empty stomach without that

reaction. i think i'll use the omega for cooking, and the garden of

life one for eating raw (maybe with my meals from now on!) just

because it feels so alive and powerful as a raw food.

i have been wondering about the runs problem, i also can't trace it

to any particular food. but i used to have the battle between

constipation & diarreah. now since on the high saturated fat,

proteins & lots of veggies, i've been pretty good, except for about

once a week runs!

any input?

hi robin,

so sorry to hear about your troubles... i hope your digestion

strengthens very soon! what a pain in the ____ !

i have been eating plenty of oils in my diet for the past couple of

years, and had on & off constipation alternating with the runs. i

think i've qualified for irritable bowel syndrome. for me personally,

i don't believe its the coconut oil doing it to me, it has been

digesting fine. no oily stools, etc.

it sounds like your digestion system has decided to take a break. and

even the 2 tablespoons of oil per day just isn't assimilating. thank

goodness for your broths!

now, on that note: i have noticed that when i go on more of a liquid

diet (especially raw veggie juices) it goes right through me. one of

my favorite quick broths (lots of onions cooked till really soft,

some sea salt & dulse seaweed) will also shoot right through me! i

don't know if its just the salty liquid or what. but even still, do

you feel as though you're getting some nourishment? feeling not

hungry is a pretty good sign to be fasting, as you said you've been

doing. sometimes i think that even digestion takes energy away from

other healing processes the body is trying to accomplish. don't

forget to drink plenty of good quality water!

i hope you feel better soon. take good care ~ susan (chefsuz)

Not sure as I really don't have the problem. I have just the opposite problem.

Magnesium can cause the runs. Maybe you are eating a food that is high in

Magnesium.

Thanks ,

I've also included a lot of fats and oils for years. It's been mostly in

the form of olive oil and fresh avocados because I live in a Mediterranean

climate, the wine country just north of San Francisco and I feel blessed to

have such a local abundance of fresh organic foods available. Yum!

Each day for years I've made a raw veggie juice with various greens (with

my GreenPower Juicer) and blend it with lemon, Celtic salt and part of an

avocado. When it's cold out or I'm extra concerned about digestion I heat it

up and it's a lovely soup. I've never had a problem with it. I' ve also

always been able to eat organ meats and since there's a big business out

here for organic -no -hormones etc chicken and livestock, I eat chicken and

calves liver about once a week. I've always been able to digest them and

like them cooked quick and hot in coconut oil, hot but almost rare inside.

I noticed some problems when I increased the amount of coconut oil I was

consuming though. I sensed something was wrong and wrote about it here last

week in fact. I mentioned that my stools were a funny color and were very

floaty and fatty. I read that it's the cholesterol that makes them float. I

didn't feel that great (and had those dribbly runs for days!) so I 've

backed off the C.O. a bit and only have with other easily tolerated food --

especially fresh vegetables because of all the enzymes.

Thanks for your nice note! ~Robin
