Master Cleanse

So I'm thinking I need to detox. I have been shoving too much crappy food and booze in my system and think it would be a good thing to flush out the system. So here are my questions.

Has anyone tried it?

Why did you do it?

What was it like for you?

How do you think it did for you?

Is it worth it?

Is it actually something that will help me?

AND MOST IMORTANTLY did you loose weight and then gain it back? I'm an actor and in a show and my weight CAN NOT fluctuate!!!! I understudy and can't gain or loose A POUND because then costumes will not fit me and I'm screwed...to put it nicely?

Thanks all!

I wouldn't use this or any other cleansing product. They can be dangerous for folks that have a leaky gut, which many of us have. The body will 'cleanse' itself if you just lay off the junk and give it good wholesome food and lots of water. These products are not only a waste of money but dangerous for many.

I agree. Eat nothing but pure whole plain foods, lots of water and stay away from anything artificial. Its nornally the diet I follow and feel amazing. As soon as i put junk in my mouth I feel crappy, big time.

I concur with the others--I would go the slower but safer route with lots of spring water and fresh organic foods and juices. Cut out the alcohol and sugar for now to really give yourself a jump start.

Especially with you being in a show and having to 1) not change size and 2) not be sick and miss days. Those of us with Celiac or sensitive digestive systems might have a real problem tolerating a cleanse. I know I would.

This is what I thought as well. I have not been regular for a week now. I was eating very well and then the holidays came...it's not horrid food but it's not my "regular" food and my body does NOT like it when i change things up....

Thank you all for your help and I will NOT be cleaning myself (well I will be showering and brushing my teeth but you get what I mean! :) ) and will just go back to eating normal stuff like home made soups and salads and more vegies!

Does anyone have any good recipes for crock potting? It is crock potting season afterall!

Recipes... now you are in my territory.

Brown a small rump roast in a bit of olive oil.

Put it in the crock pot along with small Irish potatoes

quartered carrots

quartered onions

small chunks of sweet potato

1 cup gluten-free beef broth (Swanson's is good)

Cook on low about 8 hours.

Thicken juice for gravy by mixing a little corn starch with water and gently boiling until thick.

Add salt and pepper as desired after cooking.

This usually lasts husband and me for 2 dinners and an office lunch.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.
