Last couple of days feeling unwell. Seem to be losing my voice and exhauste and my tummy is upset. I will go back to my dr tomorrow. Sick of getting sick! I had two great sessions at the gym last week then this. Sick again. I am also 5 days off refined sugar.

Ive replaced sugar with just a tiny bit of raw organic honey a few dates and I had a teaspoon of carob molasses two days ago. I wonder if my body is freaking out cause I had been eating loads of sugar prior.... Prior to last week I was eating at least one of either cake, biscuits, chocolate and ice cream everyday and 5 days ago I cut out any food with sugar in it (besides natural foods as mentioned above)

Is it possible that I am experiencing withdrawals / detox? If so how long does this last for? !

    I'm not sure, but my brother is terribly allergic to carob. Do you have any known food allergies?

    Sugar doesn't give you withdrawal symptoms. It isn't addictive. You might find yourself wanting it cos it's habit forming. Honestly I would say the same as the last guy. This kind of sounds like an allergy.

    When I switched from lots of processed stuff to eating "clean" I went through some crazy withdrawals but not quite like what you've mentioned. For me I was mostly just cranky, tired and umm... needed to use the washroom frequently. but that only lasted a couple of days and then I was feeling even better than before. Could be allergies or you may be getting sick?

    It's good you will be seeing your Dr. tomorrow. I do not think you are feeling unwell from detoxing/withdrawing... losing your voice would not fall into that category.

    Hi everyone

    Allergies sounds very plausible! My sinuses have been playing up too
    I really need to get allergy tested

    Thank you! !!
