So... I think I over did it yesterday, woke up with chills and nausea, extreme fatigue and lethargy (could barely stand), pounding heart and on top of it all a major panic attack. I don't think I've herxed this hard yet, oops!!!

These have subsided with detox and I drank some of my wolf berry juice which is high in vitamins and nutrients but very low carb, I most likely only ingested 4g of carbs. I know that fruit is not allowed, but will 4 grams hurt? I just felt like my body needed sustenance!!!

Other than that, all I'm eating is meat, veggies, nuts, and bone broth. I picked up some grapefruit seed extract yesterday and took 5 drops (I think this is the culprit), and I drank Pau D'arco three times, took two tbs of coconut oil (which I was already doing before without many problems), and 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar, and drank lemon water twice.

I know, it seems like I hit it way to hard, but I feel like I can handle it. But I'm going to take a couple of days off of the grapefruit seed extract and then reinstate with 1 drop.

I also have this coffee replacement called Teecino, it's organic, caffeine free, and the ingredients are organic carob, organic chicory, organic dandelion, organic ramón seeds, and natural coffee flavour. It contains 7g of carbs per 1 tbsp.

It also contains many vitamins and nutrients, which is why I want to use it, do you think that this is okay to use on the diet?

P.S, thanks to everyone for all of the help that I have received on this forum!

It can also be a herx from Candida die off. You hit it pretty hard. I suggest you take activatyed charcoal - it is a great help when herxing. Just make sure you take it two hours before or after other things.

Remember, it's not the carbs so much as the sugar - like in the fruit.

Teecino is a good brand - and those ingredients will help you detox to be honest. They are in my coffee substitute as well.

apple cider vinegar is VERY strong. when i was treating candida, I was alternating herbs. You did a heck of a lot in one day - honestly, if you had a panic attack, i would at the reality of it and say you couldn't handle it - it sounds like you did too much at once. i would take a step back and take it easy on yourself. when i took just a tablespoonful of apple cider vinegar and nothing else I had heart palptations all day. i haven't touched it since. It is an excellent way to get your body in an alkaline state, but if you have candida/lyme you will definitely feel it.

also GSE is another big one. That was a tough one for me to handle too. There is alot of controversy about GSE - what brand did you pick up may i ask?

Katie95 - Teecino was founded by a good friend's mom. Awesome people..he he he... I used GSE for a few months and benefited from it.

bbmuffin, I've been doing charcoal here and there, thanks smile

Mike, thanks for the info, I had some this morning and it didn't seem to flare up, I did some searching and found that some people actually use the juice product that I was talking about for candida.

Thanks, Trav smile

Chapelle, the ACV doesn't do that to me, I wonder why... I had been taking it here and there before I went on the diet, I like to use it to help with digestion and of course alkalinity... I'm using Nutribiotics GSE

MFM, that's awesome! I was so happy and surprised that I had found a coffee replacement that was G-Free, Caffeine free and organic!
