    Unhappy Salt Water Flush

    I did a salt water flush the other night 1 whole quart warm water with 2 tablespoons sea salt! It didnt work. I didnt have any bowl movements. Did I do something wrong??

    Oh dear. The salt water flush calls for two teaspoons of sea salt, not two tablespoons. That's way too much salt.

    You did it at night?

    I have always read you are supposed to do it upon rising and before eating or drinking anything else.

    I don't think it has to be 2 tsps. I have known people that have used different amounts.

    I did it too never worked for me but Epsom salt worked for me. It tastes good with O.J. or lemon water. SWF yucky. good luck happy flushing.
