Hey hi, Alright, let me begin by stating I'm not a doctor,
and have a very limited knowledge as to the inner workings
of the digestive system, so please... forgive me. A buddy of
mine turned me onto the idea of fasting a while ago now, and
it made real sense to me given the apparent strategies of
the major food "manufacturers." That being our health
probably isn't in their best interest, but more their
dollars. ANYWAY, I'm 3 days into a however-long-it-takes-to-get-this-[censored]-out-of-
me day fast. Now, let me elaborate a little. I've had a lot
of probs with my degestion in the last couple years or so,
mostly due to a lack of exercise, eating bad foods,
smoking/drinking (I'm pretty sure I have an ulcer, which may
play a part in this, hear me out), just a general unhealthy
routine to life. So, based of what I've taught myself using
the almighty intarweb, it looks as if I may have a partial
bowel obstruction. I use to take metamucil to stay regular,
and that went well for a while, but I remember for about a
week I over did it a little. I also didnt drink much water
during this week. Turns out, not drinking plenty of water
while taking metamucil can basically turn your bowels into
concrete filled [censored] tubes. So this is where I'm at now.
This is why I post to you all this day. It seems as if I
have a gigantic fiber [censored] inside of me. Will fasting
help remove this? Is the forming of a fiber turd as
described even possible? I dont feel any pain, just so you
know, as I dont think its a full obstuction. Prior to my
fast, I was indeed pooping. Very little, but I was indeed
pooping. 3 days into my fast now, and my stomach still feels
kind of full... Why? Anyone? Help? Thanks.
