On Sunday I went all out with everything I could no longer eat for my rosacea. Not smart, I know. But there was plenty of cheese and I really wanted to say goodbye to cheese-onion crisps, and while we were out for groceries I picked up some final white chocolate to enjoy while I still could.
Monday started the new eating habits and the cleansing cure.
We only had peanut butter in the house. All the sausage and cheese I would no longer eat, of course.
The capsules of "L'Oceane" are to be dissolved in 1.5 liters of water and drank throughout the day. This is really no problem, I've done my fair share of diets and can easily stomach 2 liters a day. It's a little scary at first to break the top of the ampule off because it is glass, but there's not been any problems so far. I finish my 1.5 liters around tea time.
Monday during the day I started to feel progressively worse. Just before noon I told Anne-Miek that I thought it best she go home, lest I infect her. The headache wasn't going away despite drinking plenty of my oceanic-ampule water, and my stomach and insides were just not doing fine. Just a general feeling of coming down with something.
I finished packing the parcels for the day and went home after dropping them off. Collapsed into bed, only to emerge a couple of times to hug the porcelain throne.
Eisirt thinks this may be attributed to the radical change in my diet: no coffee! I used to drink around three cups daily, starting my day off with a double. I think it may have been a bit of flu, worsened by the changes? Who knows.
After sleeping sixteen hours or so, I felt a lot better and my headache and the vomiting were gone on Tuesday.
Tuesday: not many symptoms, just a general lack of energy. Couldn't sit up for long periods of time yet, and my back didn't like all the lying down.
Wednesday: Bloated tummy, which was growing progressively more uncomfortable during the day.
We'll keep going. So far so good!
