Odd symptom from flushes.

[kaleidoscope]

Shelley,

I know I mentioned this to you a few months ago but I guess you didn't really know what it was.....

Ever since the day after my third liver flush, which was a few months ago, randomly it'll sound like I have a lot of water sloshing around in my stomach/intestines. It doesn't just come when I drink water, but at any time. Some times it won't happen for a few days, but it always comes back right after every flush. Do you have ANY idea what this might be? I found out that this symptom has a name -- it's called a "succussion splash".

It could be so many things there's no way to answer over the Internet. A chiropractor or Osteopath should be consulted to see if your stomach is proplapsed, for instance, or your small intestine is misshapen. I know my body. If something is out of place I can feel it, and I can stretch and get the spine back in place so taht my organs are back in place. Get to know your body, don't just hear it, FEEL it.

Shelley, if it's something like a misshapen small intestine, how can that be fixed (if it can)?

And how would a chiropractor be able to tell? Just by feeling?

[shelley]

A chiropractor probably wouldn't be able to tell - they don't learn about soft tissues, only the skeleton, unless they go on to a fifth year of training and very few do. If you have really severe skeletal issues like a major mis-curvature of the spine or really bad posture, then they'll know your organs are out of shape too.

You have to judge for yosurelf or see an Osteopath. An Osteopath learns how to reshape intestines with massage and how to judge just by palpitating the abdomen whether something is in good shape.

Shelley, I'm wondering what you think of this...

Apparently this "succussion splash" is often indicative of something called gastric outlet obstruction, which is "any disease that mechanically impedes gastric emptying, the normal emptying of the stomach." Gastric outlet obstruction can be caused by several things, but one of these things is "the ingestion of caustic substances". I remember my colon hydrotherapist saying to me "salt is caustic" when she was warning me against combining salt water flushes with liver flushes because it could cause "serious digestive problems".

Now, I think that the day this all started (6 months ago, with my 3rd LF) I had done a salt water flush that didn't work. Maybe I didn't use enough salt or I was dehydrated, but regardless, I absorbed it. I also did one that DID work. (This was when I was using nothing but SWFs with liver flushes, so I was doing 2 SWFs the day after a liver flush.)

I'm just trying to make sense of this... is this making sense to you?

Did I permanently screw myself up?

Oh and by the way, I haven't seen an osteopath (or anyone) about this simply because I can't afford it.

[shelley]

Hmmm... you did two in one day? That's not too smart, but still... I can't see it doing permenant damage... we would have heard of that happening before now if that was the case, lots of people are doing SWF's.

[kaleidoscope]

Yeah, one in the morning and one at night.

Anyway I think I will go to my regular doctor about it and see what he says. I won't tell him about LFs/SWFs though...
