Made it through Day 10! Yippee! To be quite honest, I would love to go on but circumstances of the upcoming week, business lunches, travel and a wedding, dictate that this is the right day to break the fast.
I have my OJ, I have my probiotics, I have some miso soup, and I have more MC Lemonade.
Thanks for everyone's support over the two weeks while I've been posting here, I'm sure I'll be coming back for more.

Cool beans B. Miso is an excellent choice as it will help populate your internal flora. Just in case you didn't know that it is very important NEVER to boil miso and you will be destroying the active bacteria and other goodness. If you add sea vegetables like Wakame or any other veggies you first cook all the veggies without the miso in. Then when the veggies are done you turn the heat off and add you miso and let it sit for a few minutes.
Something that adds great flavor to miso soup is that in the same pot that you will be making the soup I sauté some onions in toasted sesame seed oil the add you water and that ever other veggies. My fave veggie to add are wakame shitake mushroom and daikon. Shoot just thinking about it has made my mouth water so I'm headed for the kitchen to make some. If you have never tried toasted sesame seed oil you will be in for a treat. The aroma from it is fab.
Actually Miso is almost always pasterized so organisms are dead. A better choice for flora is yogurt with live culture or Rejuvelac very simple recipe e-mail me if interested
The Miso I get "Miso Master Organic" clearly states "unpasturized" on the lable. Better yet than yogurt is Kefir as it contains 8 strands of acidophilous to yogurts one.
Have never tried to make Rejuvelac but I do know that it is highly recomended
DGARDNER ~ Yes, I had headaches. Particularly at night. I would just sip on my peppermint tea to relax me, or the lax tea, and try to go to bed early. Days 8, 9, and 10 were a breeze compared to 5,6,7. You can do it!
RE: Probiotics. I am taking an enteric coated capsule of probiotics that was recommended to me by the natural health guy at Whole Foods.
Tell me more about Kefir. How do you have it? I couldn't find Rejuvelac but I am able to get Kefir. And I have plain yogurt for the live cultures already.
I had some OJ yesterday morning and afternoon. At lunchtime I had an orange. I was at a BBQ last night so ate salad (no dressing), grilled portabella, and grilled asparagus. I hope that wasn't too much for my system. I stayed away from all the meats and bread products...
Today, I'd like to have OJ again in the AM and then focus on fruits/veggies for the rest of the day. Probably have some of the yogurt for the probiotics.
When I have used store bought probiotic cultures I have opted for one in liquid form which to me makes more sense that it would contain an active culture rather than something in a pill. I can't back that up with any facts just a matter of personal preference.
Kefir is sorta like a liquid yogurt in texture and taste and it is a lot less mucous forming that yogurt. Like I mentioned before that it contains a more diverse number of strand of beneficial bacteria than yogurt.
I have never seen Rejuvelac sold already packaged but if I recollect correctly it is made by soaking wheatberries and maybe something else and the liquid is the Rejuvelac but I'm not 100% sure on the ingredients. LNDolls uses it and I'm sure that she'll be glad to give you the recipe.
The cool thing about Kefir is that it can be made from other liquids besides cow milk. I have had it made from coconut milk and it is quite tasty. There is a Kefir forum here on Curezone that I'm sure you'll get lots of good info on it there.
As far as what you ate at the BBQ I'd say you're just fine. I love to make portablello sandwiches. My toaster oven crapped out on me but I would take a nice big cap and cover it with Tamari and some olive oil and broil in the toaster oven. Add some sunflower sprouts a little vegit (veggie salt) a dash of balsamic vinegar some mustard and voila a nice quick easy sandwich.
