I just finished a 4 day 4 night Candia/toxin Cleansing fast (water only). A little more info: I had been struggling with candida symtoms, and troubles with my eyes feeling achey, burning/hot, and not being able to focus as well as inability to think clearly or focus. I decided to do a 5-7 (didn't make it that long) day water fast to try and fluch out my gut and start building it back up.
Day One: Detox was OK, headaches, hunger pains, "fuzzy" feeling, and tierd/not wanting to focus eyes, but I was able to put in 7 hours at work...
Day Two: Detox a little worse, just headaches, weak achey muscles and some eye tierdness, went to work for 7 hours again
Day Three: Felt pretty good! Just tierd and a slight headache. Went out to eat with my family at a mongolian bbq and didn't even feel hungry. Went out house hunting with my oldest sister in the below 0 weather... Decided to do an enema when I got home bcause I felt like there was still some junk in my colon and I wanted to be ALL cleaned out. I did 2 in a row, and it wasn't coming out clear after the second, but I felt SO weak that I decided I needed to stop.
Day Four: Was torture! I had a low grade fever, white coating on my tounge, metalllic taste in my mouth, nausea, acid reflux ( tasted bile in my mouth), and extreme tierdness/weakness/acheness. Alot of troubles with my eyes, too. Spent the entire day in bed.
Day Five (today) Woke up feeling alot better ( no nausea, acid reflux or aches), but was feeling very weak and had a headache. I decided that I needed to eat, as I was getting really scared- having a hard time breathing, feeling dizzy and blacking out if I wasn'e laying down, feeling like I was going to faint, etc. I had a cup of juice and a little later on some veggie broth. Both felt great on my tummy, and within a few minutes after drinking the juice my headache dissapeared. I also took some probiotics. Still in bed, really weak tho.
ANYWAY, Here is my question: I still feel like I wasn't done detoxing, yet I HAD to stop or I would have ended up hurting myself. Any suggestions for A) continuing to cleanse my system while still eating and B) lessening the detox symptoms so I can function again?
TIA! (hopefully I put this in a good place, I just couldn't seem to find a thread that it fit in well...
