I have horrible acid reflux, gall stones, and possibly a stomach ulcer (not an official diagnosis, just a strong hunch). I’ve read that fasting can make all these things worse, especially ulcers (risk of hemorrhage, etc). Has anyone had issues with anything like that?
Snake juice made my GI issues nearly disappear in 1 week. If no other benefits were present, that alone would make this fasting regimen worth it. I’ve never shit better in my life. No more dry (acid throat) cough, and I no longer worry about esophagus cancers which run in my family because without the persistent acid my pipes can heal. I suggest you go ALL IN on a 48-hour snake juice fast right away. Then no/low carb meal at the 48-hour mark (you’re gonna be pretty hungry but try to eat just a regular portion of high fat & high protein) and then go straight into another 48 hour snake juice fast. I wasn’t sure how much juice to consume each day at first but for me, 2L of snake juice with 1L of fresh water intermittently was the sweet spot for daily consumption. I think of “drowning” my hunger in fluid and then get busy DOING something. Go for a walk! Read a book! Take your mind off of food. It will play tricks on you at first. Really listen to the tone of your thoughts and observe them and LAUGH AT THEM! You are not a slave to your thoughts. You are totally in control. You got this!
Fasting definitely helps GI issues, but just know that they can often get worse before they get better. GI issues are often caused by having too much bad bacteria/gut flora and when you fast they start dying off which can cause all kinds of issues. It’s really good for you in the long run, but just know your symptoms might get a little worse at first, but then they’ll get better.
Edit: Cole recommends adding cayenne pepper to your snake juice if you’re having stomach issues.
