So excited!! First time in 4 years, solid stool!! Fasting works!
So over the past few weeks I have cut out all gluten. That means no bread, grains, or anything that contains gluten! (although I had a couple beers on the weekend, yes they have gluten in them) But anyway, I have basically been eating nothing but meat and vegetables and occasionally eggs. I used to be having in the range of 10 BM's a day, since getting rid of the gluten I'm down to about 3!!! And I noticed that after a couple of days!! I was so excited!
But now for the best news ever, Yesterday I did a 24hr fast, and this morning I had my first solid BM in 4 years!! I'm really excited!
I have a friend, who is a trainer, and is really extreme when it comes to health, he was talking about fasting the other day, and how it gives the bowels a rest and teaches your body to use the food it gets more efficiently and how everyone should do it. There is a lot of research about it and a lot of people believe our bodies aren't designed to have food so readily available. I also remember reading years ago in Mens Health about a guy who controls his Crohn's with weekly fasts. So I though Id try it. (Even though my girlfriend said I was a freekin idiot!! LOL!)
I ate a good dinner Tuesday night and then didn't have anything but water till last night, (Wednesday) 24 hours later. And woke up this morning feeling great and had a solid BM!!!!!
So I think this will be my weekly routine and see how it goes, I will keep everyone posted.
Has anyone else had success with fasting?? How do you do it?
