Never had that issue. Cleansing does just that for me. Raw does the cleansing for me.

Cleansing and binding seem like the opposites. If you're really cleansing, you're not "binding". Enemas work wonders... spinach, soaked Thompson seedless raisins and unsulphured prunes.. soak, drink juice, eat fruit.

Eat more fruit! I mean lots and lots of it. It's so cleansing and nourishing and the bulk will help push everything out.

When you get up in the morning, treat yourself to a Salt Water Flush (aka: SWF, from the master cleanse plan).

2 tsps sea salt (NOT iodized table salt) in a quart of really warm water. Drink it down fast. Stay near the bathroom for the next 2 or 3 hours. :)

Apples and pears do it for me. Fresh apple juice REALLY does it for me.:p

you can salt water flush, or maybe just take a few shots of wheatgrass. <3

Having a green smoothie and adding more greens and fruit should do the trick.

Are you eating a lot of dense raw (gourmet) recipes?

Experienced this when I first "jumped" into raw (although I drank approx 80ozs water per day). The perscription from my naturopath that worked within 24 hours: Betaine Hydrocloride, Digestive Enzymes, Oil of Oregano 3 times per day.

Interesitng when you start letting go, stop holding back, open up in your emotional life, the other takes care of itself. I always see the emotional connections to things.

I see where I have become stopped in my life. Even stuck (feeling stuck).

So it is better.Thankx

I put 4 tbsp of Chia in my 32oz water bottle and then drink loads of water, in a couple of hours, out it comes.

Is it wrong to derive so much pleasure from a satisfying bm?

Oh thankx.Good idea. I always see that as a measure of health. It is key to health for me. If toxins(waste) are not leaving the body,they are polluting it.
So its great to feel clean hygienically. Natural hygiene. Love it.

Have you heard of people like Elvis and John Wayne who ate pies,cakes and pastires all the time and their colon weighed huge at autopsy? Maybe why they needed one?
