Detox Program Final Notes

Well life doesn't seem to stop just because you're detoxing and that's exactly what happened to me!  Things were busy, thus the late post on the detox I've been wanting to get out. I haven't heard from those who tried it but would love your experience and feedback. Every time I do a detox it reminds me why it's best to eat healthy, and to learn about your body in all stages of life and know about your specific needs. I definitely had sugar, wheat, and dairy withdrawal which caused a bit of weakness and irritability. But it is SO necessary to give your body a break from these foods so it can heal any problems its struggling with and have some relief from a possible irritant or allergy. I discovered that chocolate is definitely giving me headaches; either it's an allergy for me or the caffeine, as I am VERY sensitive to caffeine (typical for Blood Type O and HSP!). Also, wheat and other gluten grains like oats are giving me acid reflux; another typical issue for the Blood Type O or those with digestive issues, as they can be harder to digest than non-gluten grains like rice, corn, quinoa, millet, etc.....  Sugar and caffeine are also causing significant anxiety, irritability, IBS, and sleep disturbances for me, so I was glad to get the reminder to make a huge reduction in these substances, and enjoy iced green tea and summer fruit instead!  Anyway, I hope this was of benefit to those who tried. Every little bit counts even if you can't do the full detox. Find ways to make it enjoyable, and try again this fall!  I'll send a reminder.... :)
