Symptoms of Detox?
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

I've been about 90% raw for 2-3 weeks and experiencing some odd symptoms. I'm guessing these might be symptoms of detoxification. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. Firstly, after about 1-2 weeks on raw, I was feeling extremely thirsty and found myself drinking glass after glass of water (not a bad thing I suppose!). In the last few days, I've been feeling rubbish - lacking in energy, nauseous, 'fluey'. Has anyone else had any strange symptoms after starting raw?

Could be the flu. Could be detox.

Keep drinking water. Get plenty of rest. Try and be patient and love yourself through this. Regardless of which it is, flu or detox, the treatment is the same: plenty of water, nutritious and easy to digest foods if hungry, and love.

When I don't feel so well, I eat as simply as possible -- mono meals of fruits, maybe a simple salad in the evening if I am hungry. Eat more if you need to. I try and avoid complex meals and harder to digest stuff like nuts, seeds, complex meals, etc., when I'm feeling down so that my body has the energy it needs to heal.

And don't forget the importance of sleep.

I hope you feel better.
