Colic pain,body itching,heart burn
I went to some naturopathy clinic that promotes cellular metabolic diet. After tests, they gave me a 16:8 autophagy diet plan along with lots of supplements- essential oils,vitamin and mineral supplements. They advised me to start and end my day with 10 ml coconut oil. Starting 2 days, i dont find anything abnormal but later i started experiencing unexplained body itching ( like the one i got with gallbladder problem) and pain in right side of my stomach. This is 15 th day, symptoms got worsened. I experience severe heart burn and nausea. Is this method correct?? Is it because of 20ml coconut oil i am consuming daily? I experienced diarrhea due to this already( doctor confirmed). Please suggest

Your symptoms are not normal and this method may not be suiting you. 20 ml coconut oil daily can definitely cause diarrhea, acidity, nausea and right-sided abdominal pain, especially if you have a history of gallbladder issues. Unexplained body itching + right side pain should not be ignored — please stop the coconut oil and supplements for now. I would advise: Stop coconut oil immediately Stop unnecessary supplements Start simple, light diet Get LFT and ultrasound abdomen if symptoms persist If pain, itching or nausea worsens, consult a physician directly.
