Day 297: The Disadvantages of Coconut Oil

I love Facebook. Quicker than you can say "exploding bowel movements," friends can read the news, offer their experience, and help you find the answer.  THANKS, Gary!!!!

Since yesterday, I've been trying to figure out the reason for my unfortunate gastrointestinal incident.  After some research (and input from others), we think we've narrowed down the cause: Coconut Oil. In this case, die off from ingesting coconut oil (which is both good and bad).

Let me explain.

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the benefits of coconut oil.  It fends off heart disease. It kills viruses.  It promotes weight loss. It reduces chronic inflammation. And, yes, it eliminates parasites and yeast (the reason I stepped up from oil pulling and started drinking it daily).

However, did you know there are also DISADVANTAGES to taking Coconut Oil???? Stuff like....EXPLOSIVE diarrhea (wish I would have read the fine print on that one )???  Apparently when you add this stuff to a body ridden with bacteria, it takes its job seriously. :)

So, good news and bad news. 

The good news?  I'm not dying, drinking oil works, bacteria, viruses, yeast, and parasites are under attack, and even Thrushy McThrush mouth is starting to heal...ever so slightly (WOO HOO!!).

The bad news? I feel rotten. I'm tired as heck. My butt cannot be trusted in public. It might get worse before it gets better.

Off to the market to get some Depends.

Altered Today: Dignity, Knowledge, Gambling Spirit, Dosing. You think I would retreat after such dire consequences, but No, No.  I'm upping the ante. Bring it on, Coconut Oil. BRING. IT. ON!!!!

PS Can you tell, I just really want this $h*t out of me??? LOL
