Hi Folks,
I am (or think I am) going through a MAJOR die-off right now. It is awful and it has been at this time where I almost always fall off the bandwagon and either cheat or more likely stop taking my medicines... I found a great website that describes what die off feels like and thought you all might benefit from it. I am in such a low place right now I cannot stand it. Here is the link: http://www.falconblanco.com/health/crisis.htm
Hope you benfir from the read.

"Symptoms usually pass within
"Symptoms usually pass within 1-3 days, but on rare occasions can last several weeks. If you are suffering from a major illness, the symptoms you experience during the healing crisis may be identical to the disease itself. Sometimes discomfort during the healing crisis is of greater intensity than when you were developing the chronic disease. "Wow, I needed to hear that! I hope Kristin reads this!
It doesn't sound like
Die off is any fun... I have felt a few days of extreme tiredness in the last few weeks of being on diet one. Also my face broke out really bad, I got a big sore in my mouth and my inside of my nose is really sore and red and bleeding? I hope this is die off!But I have to say that I can't wait to start treatment with Matia ( I get to see her next week! ) and experience die off, then I know I will be convinced this is working. Do you know how soon you start to have it when she gives you the things you need to take??Thank you for posting this, It helped me understand it more. I hope you feel better soon : )
Hopeful
I put goldenseal on the sores on my mouth.Some patients have die off right away while others don't have noticeable die off for a few months.
Diet List 1
I too got extreme tiredness when I started list one. I put down to my body trying to adjust to the change. This did get better though and since I started on the herbs and probiotics two weeks ago I feel better still.Matia has also said that with IC we don't absorb all the nutrition from the food we eat so presumably we won't feel as well as a healthy person on the same diet
