So, peristalsis every day until Saturday, the day after I went for another colon hydrotherapy session.
Hmmmm.
But I persevere. I figure my body needs a bit of cleansing at this point in time, and I am assisting in that endeavor. I think I also need some rest and respite - concentrate on home and nesting (and cleaning).
Yes the cleansing is not just in my body, but all around me - kitchen, bathrooms, rest of the house....

I have been faithfully taking my probiotic; it's hard to get into the habit of taking it twice a day, yet I persevere.

Also, am alternating the flax seed with psyllium. Too soon to tell if this is a worthwhile effort, but something my friend Sheila said stuck with me. She said that while flax is nutritious and tasty etc, psyllium is good for cleansing the bowel of old stuff. I thought about that and decided to try the alternating routine. This also gives me more flexibility in the morning - I don't have to prep a smoothie every day in order to get enough fiber (I usually mix 3-4 heaping teaspoons of flax into the smoothie).

Oh, and I looked up ginger - unless one takes it as a supplement there is no possibility for overdose. Yea!

Later.
