These were my thoughts today when I started the Arise & Shine 7 day cleanse with Hydrated Bentonite & Psyllium Husk Powder. "I never wanted to poop so badly in all my life". I feel like a pregnant woman having a difficult time delivering. I want to shout "get it out, get it out".

The morning shake feels like a big ball, or a baby in my tummy that can't find its way out. I can't believe I need to do another shake today. Let us not forget the horse pills I have to take, 3 times per day.

@lovedbyanimals That doesn't sound too natural. I prefer the gentle, smooth urgency of bananas. I hope your cleanse works well for you. :)

@thrivesurvive my therapist says that the extra full feeling has to do with all the plaque and debri in my system. The more debri one has will cause the shake to swell up even more. So it is just telling me that I need to do this. The Pysllium husk powder does cause a lot of gas. I feel more comfortable today after having my morning shake. The horse pills are herb capsules with chomper with Cayenne & herbal nutrition. I might need a colonic Friday, but should have one for sure Monday.

@lovedbyanimals I hope you feel great when it's all over. Stay close t the toilet. :)

@lovedbyanimals That's not good. Feel better soon.

my stomache is loud, and my face breaks out! a prophet friend told me a month ago(not knowing these issues) that i had intestinal issues. it is true..i just started raw..ok, well i also ate rice/beans..i think i cant even do ANY cooked foods at all:(.. i try total RAW puried veggies now! i'll hav 2 check out all ur vids on this!

Sounds like you have low HCL. Green smoothies help restore HCL natural levels. If you do eat any cooked food, eat lots of raw food first so you can use some of the enzymes from the raw to digest the cooked. Taking probiotics or fermented raw foods helps in the intestines too. I use Intestinal Drawing Formula by Healthforce Nutritionals when I need help getting the icky stuff out. I also eat a lot of bananas to stay regular. Drink lots of pure water too. I hope you feel better. ((hugs))

@thrivesurvive omg I made 5 BM's yesterday. My anus is burning today. I am not sure from what. Either the frequent poops, or the 9 Cayenne capsules I have to take each day. I can't wait until the cleanse is over.

@thrivesurvive That is great advice about staying close to the toilet. I don't think I would want to be too far away from the toilet unless I had a depends to put on.

The amount of Pysllium Husk Powder that goes in each of my shakes is one teaspoon. The shake has clay in it too. I do two shakes per day. "Special Comments: Reminder - never use more than 2 teaspoons of Psyllium per serving", that came from the cleansing website. I am feeling a bit better today. I hope much better soon!

Thank you. I haven't been following my plan very well though. I have been really tired so I haven't done much exercise, I have been eating some solid food, and I haven't been taking the formulas as often as I should. I think I am finally starting to detox a bit though. I feel kind of yucky.
