We have heard of people experiencing no bowel movement since they started their Lemonade Diet - Master Cleanse. People are wondering if the detox program is actually working on their system. After 3 days or so, they give up on the lemonade diet. We feel that the detoxification process is indeed working on your system but it might be due to other previous conditions prior to the cleanse that results in this situation.People who have been on mainly meat and dairy product diet are very susceptible to having bowel movement problems. They should reflect whether their bowel movement has been a daily thing. It is not possible that they usually experience irregular or bowel movements at few days interval to expect the Master Cleanse to work wonders and improve their bowel movement to a daily situation.
There are some who are going regularly but do not seem to have no bowel movements after starting the Master Cleanse. Then they also need to remember what they have consumed prior to the cleanse. Usually higher amounts of meat and/or dairy products can lead to the difficult bowel movements thereafter.
Some suggestions to improve bowel movement:
- Make sure that you drink laxative tea at night
- Drink your sea salt water in the morning
- Drink at least 6 - 12 eight to ten ounce glasses of lemonade a day
- People who are relatively bigger in size should consider drinking more
- Be patient and ready to wait for at least a few days even up to 3 days
If there is still difficulty having bowel movement, you can also consider drinking herbal laxative tea in the morning. However, you have to be aware that there is a difference in the functions of laxative teas and sea salt water flush. The laxative tea involves more muscle contraction of the large intestines to move the bowel. Some people might not feel comfortable with the contraction.
