I STARTED DIET TO BE HEALTHY BUT I FEEL WORST NOW!!
When you first start functional diets for intestinal health such as elimination diet, GAPS diet, FODMAP diet, you may say that you feel worse than before.
Things may seem to be getting worse while you wait for improvement. The reason for this is that in this type of diet, pathogenic bacteria, fungi and yeasts in our intestines release toxic substances into the environment when they die. This situation is called die-off syndrome. However, this is temporary. And it’s an indication that you’re getting better.
How do you know if you have die-off syndrome?
After starting the diet,
Increased headache joint pain
Diarrhea constipation or gas problems
skin rashes
If you have started to experience situations such as fatigue, you may be experiencing die off syndrome.
