    I am 40 years old and have 2 young children. I have noticed I have a pattern fatigue whereby I expereince episodes of fatigue from 2 days to 8 weeks in duration. My last episode lasted eight weeks during which I would wake up exhausted and feel tired all day. My whole body would feel heavy and tired and my brain is in a fog. I would just want to lay down and sleep all day long (but obviously couldn't as I have children). During my last episode I visited my GP, who after some blood tests, concluded there was nothing physically wrong with me. Interestingly, this episode abruptly ended after I had a few days of gastro and diahorrea. After sitting on a toilet for a few days, I suddenly felt amazing and full of energy. I actually felt better than I had for over a year. Now, after a few months of feeling great I can feel the fatigue starting to return and I'm wondering if there is a safe detox or bowel cleanse I could try to perhaps 'flush out' my system like the gastro did.
