Intro Stage 1 "Die Off"

Feeling pretty crummy here today.  I started feeling "off" yesterday and was pretty tired and had a bit of a sore throat.  By the time I got to bed, I had a drippy nose too.  This morning I woke with a headache, sinus pain, swollen glands, runny nose, sneezing and tired and achey.  I have been having regular bowel movements.

Tom is feeling good.  He has been taking regular salt baths for his yeast rash and I think that may be helping him (if these symptoms are all die-off).  He is enjoying the soups, especially the creamy beef soup in the evening.  He has been having regular bowel movements.

Heather is feeling better than the rest of us so far.  She has said a couple times that she felt a little weak and had a bit of a sore throat but she has been acting fine and has not complained about her tummy.  She has been having regular bowel movements.

Rose woke up this morning feeling pretty bad.  Yesterday she said that her legs were weak and she felt dizzy.  Today, her tummy hurt and she ended up vomiting around noon.  She felt better afterwards and did not get a fever or look sick, so I am thinking this is die-off.  She is the only one who didn't have a bowel movement yesterday and has not yet today either, so we may need to do something about that.  She got a salt bath last night, I will make sure she takes another one this evening.

Will woke up also feeling tired and with weak legs and acheys.  He carried a bowl around for a bit during parts of the day but did not need to use it.  He actually fell asleep on the floor in the dining room - just was crawling around and then zonked out for about half an hour!  He got a salt bath this afternoon and it seemed to perk him up a bit.

We will stay put with the yummy soups and adding 3 tsp fermented beet kvass, sauerkraut juice, or whey to the bowls at dinner.  We are taking the probiotic and cod liver oil at dinner also.  We had planned to add coconut milk kefir today but decided to wait since everyone was feeling poorly.  I will decide tomorrow if we add the kefir in.
