122 Diet Wise
Pronounced withdrawal reactions I usually treat by recommending
a mild laxative such as Epsom salts or magnesia. The idea is that the sooner
your bowel clears, the sooner you will feel better. If the reactions are very
severe you probably won’t feel like eating at all, and it is often a good idea
to simply cancel all your engagements, relax with a good book and switch to
a near fast of just grapes, yams, lamb and pears. This invariably cuts short
the suffering.
Whatever happens, it is a good idea to remember that since food
started it you will be able to sort it out using the information in this book.
Now that’s enough of the preliminaries. Have a go and see what
happens. Bon appétit!
