Raw Food Diet - 30 Day 'No Fat' Trial - Day 27Today is day 27 of my raw food diet trial and things went very badly today. I have been in a tremendous amount of pain from an endometriosis flare up. I clearly spoke far too soon yesterday when I pronounced an improvement; things are not better. I am pushing through this without any pain medication and it is really tough going. I don’t want to add any more toxins to my body though. After I went to bed last night the pain shifted up into high gear along with horrific nausea. At 3:40am I had an attack of vomiting all the way through to the dry heave stage. Thankfully that took care of the nausea but did nothing for the pain. I have been in bed all day, hardly able to move. Very thirsty and hungry but not able to put much in my body at all. I can only sip water, any pressure on my stomach is enormously painful. I doubt I will be able to go to work tomorrow. Obviously I am not cured of this yet. I am sure it was very wishful thinking to imagine that I could be cured so fast. Endometriosis is a very serious disease and obviously it will take more than a 30 day raw food diet no fat trial to see some change. I usually feel nauseous and I also get chills and cold sweats along with the pain which has always seemed to just be a side effect of the pain. This is the first time I’ve actually vomited. From what I’ve been reading I am pretty sure I have endometrial adhesions on my intestines and bowel which leads to the nausea and vomiting. Here is a picture of my stomach as it looks now. The swelling has gone down slightly. This is just standing normally, I am not pushing it out at all, and it is hard to the touch as well. 
I haven’t got much else to report, I am just sick and upset as this pain is really debilitating. On the plus side it is even more of an incentive to keep on living ultimately as it is the only way I am going to become pain free. Weight I still weigh the same: 121.4 pounds, in spite of the swelling. So that is 3.6 pounds lost over this raw food diet trial so far. Food I ate very little today. I had a smoothie for breakfast with 1x orange and 4x bananas. For lunch I had 2x oranges. For dinner I had a soup made with 2x oranges, 1x bell pepper (orange), 2x tomatoes and a handful of coriander. I struggled to even get it down.
