As apart of my health kick I am on I decided to add coconut oil to my diet... I took 5 TBSP last night mixed with garlic because why not? It has a lot of great reviews as helping our bodies so feeling witty I carefully added the products together around midnight and after saying a silent prayer I gulped it down and chased it with water...not pleasant... I went to bed excited about the new adventure I was taking and looking forward to having healthier skin and hair.
About 3 in the morning I woke up out of a dead sleep and shot to the bathroom. It was NOT pleasant! It was at that point I told myself "maybe I should have waited until morning to take the oil....".
Ten long minutes latter I crawled back into bed feeling a bit lighter and a little ill but I quickly drifted back to sleep..around 4 am I was awoke again with the same sickening feeling but this time it was worse.. The whole jog to the bathroom my stomach was rumbling and I really feared I would not make it. I am happy to report I DID reach the porcelain throne with no time to spare.... This time it was even worse...I had hot flashes, I couldn't fan myself fast enough to cool down and every time I thought I was done..I wasn't.
I fell asleep waiting....
I eventually crawled back into bed where I stayed until just past 10:00 am. I woke up not feeling all that well however I was surprisingly hungry. Roll of eyes.
Drinking water instead of my coffee fearful of repeating the early morning adventures I did a bit of further research on the "wonders of coconut oil". Yeah basically it has the same effect as caster oil which helps "clean you out" and its best to take it early morning because when it kicks in you want access to the bathroom. THEN I read this person who has added it to her daily diet for some time said only take a max of 3 TBSP a day which can still cause very loose stool...I just drank 5 TBSP! My oh my...
Here it is, almost 7:00 pm and I STILL taste the garlic and I can feel the oil swishing around in my mouth. I have had a upset stomach all day and I used a full roll of toilet paper and a few tissues since waking up. I no longer desire adding coconut oil to my diet.
Basically the moral of this story is don't drink coconut oil at night...you more then likely will NOT be happy with the outcome.
