Dietary changes?

[Gustaf]

Since the discomfort and tension around my power chakra has gradually started to subside, I've noticed a different sensation which can be felt at my sides, under the ribs, especially on the left side.  It is not directly painful; more of a pressure, and I feel gasy a lot of the time, and my appetite goes up and down like some roller coaster. Sometimes I don't feel like eating anything and other times I get extremely hungry. What's even weirder is that my wife feels it, too. So we don't know where it's coming from.

It also comes down to an issue that I have avoided in life and is now presented clearly. To really care about what I eat.

Most of my life I haven't really paid much attention to the physical body. A few years ago when I got intensively into yoga, I took on a partly vegetarian diet (Not vegan, so I eat fish, eggs etc)  I feel like I am facing a situation where I need to reacess my eating habits and attitude towards food completely.. Again.  

Something seems to block me from fully working with the sensitivity testing at http://www.kundalini-teacher.com/symptoms/stomach.html

With all the different contradicting systems about diet out there, adopting strictly to a doctrine appears to be a no no.. A yoga teacher I know is also an expert in ayurveda and can do readings. He seems to be really good when it comes to diet. Might be a good idea to get in touch with him..

Any insight about the feelings and pressures would be apprechiated.

Love

 and my appetite goes up and down like some roller coaster. Sometimes I don't feel like eating anything and other times I get extremely hungry.

Me too! For months I was barely hungry, and now I'm ravenous, for very specific foods. I'm kinda glad I barely ate for months; my body seems to have done some sort of fasting detox. Now I'm finding I just can't tolerate some foods well. My body mostly wants organic these days.

I've also become slender and toned.

My main problem is that when my body's craving a food that I don't have in the house, I can't eat it! So I'm stuck eating stuff that I don't really want. I try to stay away from foods that my gut gives a no-no signal to.

It's giving the no-no signal on some drugs, too. It'll be interesting to see where this leads. I'm taking Tylenol instead of anti-inflammatories and codeine! Go me. Wonder if I can find an organic or non-toxic painkiller that works well....hmmmmm. We'll see. I'm not opposed to drugs, but I don't feel like my body wants them right now.

Yeah, me too. I tend to live in my head too much. Sometimes I'm so up there I forget to eat! I'm doing more body-centric stuff these days. And I keep crackers by the desk.

*giggles* And I have a parter who asks me to eat a carrot every day. Thanks to him I've developed a carrot addiction.
