Health question.. don't know where to post this.. help please?

Heeey there..

I ate quite a bit of raw food about 8 hours earlier - the first time I've really eaten a meal in awhile without throwing up. [A heavy meal with raw cashew butter]

But it feels like there's an undigested ball in my stomach. :/

I've been drinking lots of water in order to flush it out.

Does anyone have any advice on how to dissolve it, please?

Thanks -

~Papillon

P.S. I'm guessing this is a good sign that I have weak digestive fire. :/

Found the answer, to anyone who may experience this, as well...

Liver needs to be cleaned, low bile output. Too much fat and not enough bile in the liver makes an already hard-to-digest [fatty] meal even harder. It left the stomach, but it can sit in the duodenum and take days to move out of the intestines.

To stimulate bile flow, I chewed and spit out food I spiced with tumeric, curry powder and the raw tomato concentrate formula. I don't swallow the food, just the saliva from chewing.

You can also make a tea out of cumin seeds.

And of course, plenty of pure water!!

Note to self: Clean out that liver!

K, all. <3

thanks for the info. I've had a similar problem, just constant stomach cramps, but I don't remember what I ate... I was done for a couple days though, eating was just not worth it
