wow my thoughts are racing. I decided to have a colonic after a series of colds this winter and talking about them at columbus raw i thought, I didn't have any colds last year when I was getting colonics. so the second day I wanted to have a b/m in the mornign b/c I had one the mornign before and so I took three msm. I had a b/m in 20 minutes and felt swelling in my throat on the way to work. once there, I felt really really awak. i had an orange. at lunch i had popcorn. after that i had a gnawing feeling in my stomache after eating a lara chocolate. i googled it b/c I am so tired of it and found betaine hcl. the supplement i tried a couple weeks ago. i think that is what i need since i am underweight. fine. but for some reason I got on the subject of colonics and bacteria. I'm going to say this cautiously, I hope the colonics last year didn't contribute to my interstitial cystitis b/c I was also experiencing that last year when I had a couple colonics and I do notice a bit of bladder pain and frequency. I definitely had some pains after the colonic. I have decided not to get one ever again. I need to take hcl to digest my food. then i won't get so constipated. side effects of msm are headaches which I sure enough have. and detox. yes, i drank a lot of water. so I am going about my usual business and not freaking out. I have a supply of flagyl if I need it thank God. and I could always tell my sympathetic urologist about the mistake I made. I ate yogurt and who knows, maybe I can overcome it with that and hcl alone. now I"m having oatmeal b/c i still have hunger pains. mentally I feel stressed and the headache could also be from coffee. I don't htink I can do this. i don't think I want to do this. I know I am not ready to go off lexapro and doesn't that defeat the purpose of being 'cleansed from all drugs?
