After being inspired and encouraged by a couple of friends that have done a detox, I decided to try one that is supposed to balance the Ph level of the stomach from acidic to an alkaline state. I've been suffering from acid reflux and stomach acid issues for a year and have been off and on antacid pills. I had an endoscopy done last March. The doctor that did the procedure said that my stripped stomach lining was from Ibuprofen! Unfortunately this made sense since I was taking Ibuprofen like they were vitamins for my migraines (especially during my time in the military and afterwards). I read that people with stomach problems like mine have found relief from this particular detox so I was willing to try it. Thankfully Richie was willing to do it with me for support.
I borrowed Dr. Joshi's book from a friend and didn't fully finish it. I gave it back just before we started the detox (we wanted to start now so we'd be done before all the Christmas Markets and Gluhwein). We got our book a few days into the detox. It helped us with a recipe for a weekly liver cleanse too which was amazing. The top 10 things to avoid list , based on this 21 day detox by Dr. Joshi, was a great start to the detox. This was the basis for the first few days before we finally got the book in the mail. This is the first time we ever did a detox like this. I'm sure we made some mistakes like drinking 'almond milk' when we're not supposed to have nuts (only seeds). But I wanted to have more of a variety instead of drinking soya or rice milk all the time.
The crazy thing is that I didn't realize how intentional I would become about everything that went into my body during these three weeks. No gum or mints for this 21 day period too (aspartame is one of the ingredients in most sugar free gum) . I had one cough drop the day after Thanksgiving. This was how much I thought about the food going in my body! Being intentional about the food inadvertently made me more focused and intentional in other areas of my life too. If you've thought about doing a detox, this is a cool one to try. It was really tough to do but I just wanted to start somewhere. I needed to start somewhere. After the 21 day detox and not taking my antacid pills I can say that my stomach felt so much better at the end....and no pills!
My food diary is listed below, day by day. I'm so glad that I kept a diary of it so that I can look back and see the foods that bothered me and test them out again later to see if I get the same reactions.

I'm so looking forward to my COFFEE in the morning!!!!
Monday weight: (115 pounds) I ended the detox losing a grand total of 5 pounds. Richie lost 10. Losing weight was not a goal in doing the detox but a crazy realization of how my snacking (my weakness are chips and the occasional chocolates) effects my weight too. I feel over all healthy at the end of the detox. I was often exhausted during the three weeks, but my acid free stomach felt really good!
Coffee this morning was fantastic. So much that I had TWO. My stomach hurt and burned in the afternoon). I should've had just one! I added everything back to my diet too quickly. The breads, coffee, and milk (in my coffee because I was at a friend's house). I will continue to buy soya milk, rice and almond milk and change them up. The kids don't like that I don't buy milk anymore, but Elee has noticed a change that his nose isn't so stuffy anymore. I'll see if we can keep that up!
(It's been one week after the detox and I'm enjoying my coffee but I'm noticing my stomach bothering me again. I should've done the maintenance program listed in the book...adding foods back one at a time. It's possible I'll have to give up coffee.
My mind is still processing the entire detox that I went through. Not only was it physically hard on me in some ways, it was also spiritually stimulating. I still have more to chew on but I feel so much better from doing this detox. I totally recommend it if you're looking for one to do.)
I borrowed Dr. Joshi's book from a friend and didn't fully finish it. I gave it back just before we started the detox (we wanted to start now so we'd be done before all the Christmas Markets and Gluhwein). We got our book a few days into the detox.
