Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 All these people worried about their frequent bowel habits - I AM ENVIOUS!! Ever since I started on raw foods and this time was no exception my bowels practically stop working and I feel like I have eaten an orchard. Its almost like the raw food makes my colon more spastic than it already is. I am in such a mess. On advice I have put off fasting for a while; But thinking, maybe this time a good long rest will heal the problem..? In fact I have completely sabotaged every thing I had put in motion recently. I confess to feeling traumatised by my emotions and perception of life. The nightmares, the past, THE PRESENT (thats the worse actually) and my total anger, frustration and ENVY of what " should " be. I currently feel that I do not deserve to be well. (But even this is ridiculous)I keep telling myself this and that .. Trying to find a formula for forigveness and all that. But I spend most of my days crying uncontrollably, shaking, feelings of despair and isolation.. I could go on... But in fact I feel like I CAN'T go on.. And then this - All these people having wonderful bowel movements - I would love to be able to have a poo without pain once a day! But 4 times a day? - That would be a dream come true! And now I have sabotaged my diet horrendously - So what can I expect but more of the same?... I am sorry to blurt this all out at once; But I have been deperately trying all week to put on a positive act hoping it would become me. Please God - Just do anything neccessary to help me HELP and COMFORT myself. xx Love Always - Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hi Kay. Just sending you some good wishes as you go through this. I found a good way for me to go raw was to stock the house full of wonderful bananas avocados melons etc. and stay home for a few days with no other foods around, and tons! of delicious raw foods to tempt me. Oh don't forget dates. Yum. and for the record, after eight months on raw I have usually one bm a day, sometimes more but often not more. this may be due to the fact that I am home in the mornings and like to " play on a home court " so to speak. perhaps I subconciously squelch other bm's because I'm not home. Watermelons have come where I am and I start each day with a huge helping of watermelon juice. It is such a huge pleasure! (just thought I'd share). G ood luck with your journey!
