I've never heard of advice like what the Barefoot herbalist gave. It sounds bizarre. How can he possibly diagnose that over the Internet? You reported that you just cleaned yourself out. How could you be impacted again already? Have you had any strong nausea, vomiting, fever, or signs of herniation? What are the symptoms you think are life threatening? Taking too much Epsom salts can be life threatening, according to instructions for it. Does your father think you need to go to the ER? If you think there's an urgent health problem that's not immediate, you could call your doctor's office for advice. It sounds like you think it could wait until tomorrow, yes? If so, you could call during business hours.

VCO, Natural Calm, coffee and psyllium are less harsh than high dose Epsom salts, but I still don't understand why you think you're impacted aside from feelings.

I had bowel movements with castor oil, but I don't believe I was completely cleaned out. I still feel constipated. My father think I should visit ER. Yes, i can wait till tomorow.

I don't have any of those symptoms. I'm just worried that this constipation will cause my apendix to burst, rupture my colon.

Do you think ill be ok with dose of Epsom salt i took? It's been 2 hours and still nothing.

Whoa! Epsom salts is another harsh laxative (one of the harshest forms of magnesium--which is why it's usually used externally, rather than internally) and 2 TBSPs is way more than the recommended laxative dose of 1 to 2 tsp. First overdosing on castor oil, now epsom salts. Why are you using a harsh laxative so soon after the last wash out? You are taking some serious risks.  I can't imagine consuming so much castor oil and epsom salts and I find it hard to believe that anyone could take such huge doses and not have horrendous results. Sorry, but your posts are becoming increasingly strange and they smack of the sort of thing some trolls wrote in the past (not only this laxative stuff, but also past comments about parasites and Paleo being very costly and such). If you're telling the truth, then you are taking unecessary serious risks.Is there a family member or someone you trust who you can discuss your extreme dieting and harsh laxative use with? And if you can afford going to the ER, then you presumably you can afford talking to a physician about it, yes?

Much of what you have been talking about and claiming you have been doing is not "Paleo" by any stretch of the imagination. Sabertooth and others are right that there are much more reasonable alternatives.

I assure you, I am not trolling the slightest bit. I've been walking to my father about the situation. He is not very knowledgable about health. Recommended I drink coffee and take phyllium husk powder. Barefoot herbalist recommended I take 1-2 tbs epsom salt, and directions say adults over 12 years old can take 2-6 Tps. The reason I am takin more laxatives is because I still feel constipated. I am not having regular bowel movements yet either. Barefoot herbalist thinks I have a shrunken colon and advised me not to eat anything. He thinks eating anything could rupture my colon. I am lost and confused as to what to do now. If Epsom salt doesn't work I think it's wise to seek help from ER. I consider this a life threatening situaion?

There are much more less stressful means by which to promote regularity while transitioning into paleo. Though many flushes will work be it salt water, castor oil or laxative tea, etc.... these methods can be harsh, and deplete the gut of already diminished enzymes and probiotic factors. I have found that coconut works well for relieving constipation.

Next time you feel clogged up try to eat a whole coconut? It is a natural laxative.

Other nutritionally valuable foods like eggs and bone marrow seem to have a good effect on the bowls.

Though I am only in the second month of my latest experiment, I have had the most wonderful bowl movements since beginning to eat a few bites of blended sheep stomach before meals.

I've been speaking with a man named Barefoot herbalist. Since it's been 10 days now since I had a regular bowel movement, not brought on by a laxitive, he believes my problem is colon/intestinal shrinkage, and not constipation. He recommends I do not eat anything at all besides olive oil and water until I have regular bowel movements again. He warns that eating anything may rupture my colon.

I have just drank 2 Tbs of Epsom salt dissolved in 8oz of water. Hopefully this produces some type of bowel movement. If not, I will most likely head to the ER.

Nut butter seems like a bad idea, what is your experience? I have read many experiencces and have had my own with it being extremely hard to digest and also very inflammatory.  Nuts are generally high in nutrients that feed yeast and other toxins due to processig and storage. 

I Havnt eaten but butter since on the SAD diet. I just assumed it was easily digestible because  they're so processed. I don't remember having much of a problem. But I used to eat PB&Js everyday...

Castor oil is a bowel stimulant, and you took more than the maximum adult dose. The Gaia tea has senna, also a bowel stimulant. These types of stimulants work by gentle (or not) irritation of the bowel tract. All that gurgling and mucus indicates that your remedies worked the way they are supposed to work. I would refrain from prescribing a diet based on your reaction to bowel stimulants. It would be best if you tried eating a "normal" raw paleo diet. By normal, I mean that, despite our individual differences in taste and climate, we here all seem to eat basically the same way. If we all went to a RPD potluck, we'd all enjoy the foods that everyone brought.

If you are worried about parasites, why not get a stool test to see if you have them. Certainly, you cannot expect us to know if you have them, but you can find plenty of discussions about ignoring parasites vs testing for parasites vs doing a broad-spectrum herbal parasiticide once or twice a year.

By all means, any condition such as leaky gut can begin to heal on a raw paleo diet. It can take a while, and you won't really "know" when the gut lining has been healed, but your improved health will let you know that you are getting better.

What would be served at RPD potluck? I'm lost when it comes to the question of what to eat? Raw eggs for breakfast? Raw meat for lunch and dinner? Any raw veggies?

parasites/worms

Care to elaborate?

At 12am EST, right before going to bed, I took 5 table spoons of Castor oil and had some Gaia Rapid Relief Herbal Tea. At about 330/4am i awoke and had severe liquid bowel movements for the next hour or so. There was lots of in digested food chunks(I need to chew my foods more, always been a problem), and other things I could not make out. What bothered be most was the endless gurgling sound coming from intestines/stomach? It does not sound healthy at all! Would it be safe to assume I have leaky/ a damaged gut or intestines? 

Eventually man is going to adapt to high fructose corn syrup and soybean oil diet.

Ask at a pharmacy. You could use a Fleet enema this once just to get things moving, and get a better treatment later. You won't find cassia fistula easily.

Ok, ill go to local pharmacy and ask for fleet enema

how did you got that blockage? what was the food you were eating 7 - 8 days ago and in the last week? do you remember?

Before last week I was eating a cooked paleo diet, eggs for breakfast lots of turkey/chicken salads for lunch and dinner, little bit of raw cheese here n there. Then I tried eating raw fat from grass fe lamb/beef. I think I made the mistake of eating raw veggies(asparagus,kale,cabbage) with the fat. This is what I believe caused the blockage.

Nothing solid has come out at all. Only bowel movement I've had was triggered by castrol oil and it was pure liquid, not dhiarrea. It was green sometimes yellow water...

It's been 7 days since my last solid bowel movement.
I tried castrol oil, only liquid came out(sorry...). VCO cleanse did not work either. The past 2 days I've eaten nothing but bananas, avocados, and grass fed bulgarian yogurt, still nothing. Any ideas!  This is getting very serious!  I do not own an enema kit.
