I tried this a year ago. I fasted for five days until I couldn't take it anymore. I had a binge for a couple of days and ate really spicy food. My stomach has taken a turn for the worse since then, giving me constant diarrhea for a year. It was sensitive enough as it was, but the rocky path out of fasting made it worse.

I'm scared to try this again, since I'm not sure it will improve my stomach. In addition I am depressed, and I don't want to exacerbate my depression. I've heard it can go both ways as for improving your mood.

I would also like to know if there is any hard, scientific evidence of the detox process; that it eliminates toxins and dead tissue etc. I've heard so much theoretical evidence.

For the record, I am a vegetarian and have been so for 2 years.
