How long does detox last?

I am on day three of my new vegan lifestyle, and this morning, all the sudden while at work, I had to run to the bathroom. It was not pretty! This is embarrassing, but I had the runs like you wouldn't believe. Since I had only had a whole wheat english muffin with almond butter, I am assuming it is a reaction to detox from meat and dairy products. So my question is... how long does detox take? Will I experience more episodes like this morning?
I just asked this same question in the flirting section. I'm pretty miserable as well.
I never got an answer unfortunately, but I can tell you that I was fine a day after my post, and have been fine ever since. I hope yours passes as quickly! HUGS!
It doesn't sound like our experiences were similar; mine lasted about a week, but wasn't extreme. I think things are back to normal. We'll see!
Hope yours has passed by now. :-)
it depends how bad your diet has been up until you started!!! If you've gone from eating doritos for dinner to spinach salads it may take a lil longer!
detox can last days to weeks. it shouldn't be as bad as the first few days though...
you'll be ok! hang in there. be happy to know that all of that gunk is getting out of your body! now that there's no meat and dairy clogging you up, your body can finally clean itself.
