Ten days into fasting and have some questions and concerns. This is my first fast. I started for a few days on water, then to fresh fruit and Veggie juice. I recently added fresh whole fruit and yesterday did vegetable soup, with cabbage, potatoes, cauliflower and green beens. I’m trying to break free of cigarettes and very poor eating habits.
I am experiencing some pain in my intestines and there is blood in my urine and stool. Nothing I’ve read has mentioned this to be a common reaction and don’t know if I should continue the fast, go to a doctor, or what! I don’t want to lose hope that the many years of treating my body so poorly, can be turned around, I know Jesus is my healer! Thank you for your awesome webite!
The most lightly cause is beet juice. It has scared many as it looks like blood. If not that yes see a doctor. This case is unheard of so get a diagnosis please.
So glad to finally find this post! I am on day two of a juice fast and thought I had blood in my stool as well until I read this post. Two of the juices I made yesterday had beets in them. That makes sense. My question however; I have heard that the colors in fruits and vegetables are a result of beneficial vitamins and nutrients. Shouldn’t my body be absorbing these and using them? In other words , why is what I’m passing looking like beet juice?
Beets turn the urine red as the pigment does not break down and with raw beet juice the effect is dramatic and scary if you do not know why.
Blood in urine is seen as brown not red also
