Master Cleanse Questions

[CrumbsInTheBed]

I am day 7 of the master cleanse, and I had a few questions regarding bowel movements for those who have completed it before. Forgive the graphic nature of this post, but it's necessary, and I'm sure everyone here is mature enough.

So basically, what was you BM situation like throughout your cleanse? For me, by the second day I had gotten rid of almost all solid waste. The third and forth day everything was completely liquid, a yellowish color, with lots of brownish mucus mix in. After that, and up to today, it's been pretty much the same, yellowish liquid with mucus mixed in, though maybe less of the mucus than before. I actually got a bit of solid matter again today.

How does that line up with what you experienced? What are your BM like at the end of your cleanse? I am especially interested if people have done it longer than 10 days. I have this image in my head of my bowels being squeaky clean by the end and having an only slightly tinted liquid come out. Is this the case? Or does the yellowish liquid/mucus continue indefinitely?


Also, on a different note, I'm a bit confused about the proportions of the mixture you drink during the fast. It is very specific about what kinds of ingredients you use and how much of each you use them, but it also says that you can drink a range of amounts of this liquid (6-12 glasses or more) based on your individual needs, and also that you should drink water liberally throughout.

Now if I think about this in my head, being able to drink varying amounts of the drink, and also drinking as much water as you please, doesn't this effectively make the concentrations of the ingredients completely arbitrary. I mean, it's all going to be mixed with water in some unknown proportion, and we don't even have a set amount of the master cleanse drink that are taking. What do you think? Thanks in advance for any replys, I know this got a bit long.

Anyone? I mean, I know many people on here have done the master cleanse, and I'm just asking for someone's own personal experience. I'm not a coprophiliac, I swear.

I had the same kind of bowel movements you are having...they never bcame clear. as far as the water is concerned, I tried to keep my lemonade and water 30 minutes apart to prevent diluting the the lemonade. I drank about 8-10 glasses of lemonade and i tried to alternate with water. if I didnt, I noticed I didnt feel too good, I would assume from toxins being released and not being washed out.

Sounds pretty similar to my experiences. I believe it is called 'butt pee' :p Ideally, I think you want to see some of the mucoid plaque that lines our intestines come out rather than clear liquid (maybe that would happen eventually?) Google colon debris if you are feeling brave.
Not sure about the q regarding the amounts of the ingredients, though I think it is specific in relation to each other, if you know what I mean. I drank the most LA allowed throughout my entire cleanse and while I may have technically consumed more or less than someone else, the amounts of each ingredient in relation to each other were the same, I believe.
Good luck!

No, not really, because mucoid plaque doesn't exist. The cleanse is still beneficial, though.

some believe it does... some don't. i know i've had stuff come out of me that looks like the pics i've seen of MP.

as for m/c i have no advice on that except this: drink what your body needs. if you need another drink to get through the day, then drink it. different people have different needs, hence the amounts will vary.
