Day 7

Things went great today, for the most part. The cayenne capsules make for a much better experience. The salt water nauseated me a bit this morning, which was unusual. The effect was spread throughout the day, but until about noon (I drank the salt water around 6:30). However, about the only thing coming out of me is the lemon and maple now.

But other than that, I've been feeling great all day. The lemonade tastes much better (although I still prefer it with ice).

Then after my lemonade dinner, I started have some pretty bad cramps. It could be a lot of things. It could be from switching to cayenne capsules. It could be that the last of the gunk in my intestine is finally coming out. It could be something I could not even conceive of. So I have decided to start transitioning off the lemonade diet. I took two Acidopholous, a tablespoon of vanilla yogurt and a glass of orange juice. After about half an hour the cramps went away.

I'm kind of sad to be stopping just shy of the ten days, but when things were going so well and to have such a dramatic change in symptoms without a clear explanation, I didn't want to take a chance.

So tomorrow I'm going to be on orange juice, yogurt and continue with the "lemonade" and cayenne capsules. We'll see how it goes.
