Hi all

I recently started a new regimen that includes all natural herbs and such. I also added in more liver detoxing supplements and definitely was experiencing detox from them. I will not lie, over the weekend I had a little sugar but it didn't deviate much from my usual diet of literally salads and chicken only...

Point is I woke up today bloated everywhere and my limbs feel super heavy and almost swollen? Everything is puffy and I feel very uncomfortable and can't tell what this is from.

Does this happen to anyone else

Yes, it happens to me, but not only during detoxing. I take quercetin to help with it, as for me it's most likely a mast cell issue. It's as if we are almost allergic to the toxins that these bacteria create, and so the bloating and feeling quite uncomfortable.

I have found that turmeric and ginger daily also help me avoid this issue.

I've retained water on and off during the past couple of months. A swedish massage seems to help me keep things moving followed up with an epsom bath and lots of lemon water.
