Day 8 Newbie - What am I pooping?

This is my first time on the cleanse so bear with me it's been a rocky road. The day before I began I started with a colonic to clean the system. So that was nine days ago. I had a small meal then began the cleanse. It's now day 8, no food, and I'm still pooping out this rancid stuff. Not necessarily diarrea but some kind of goo and flaky stuff. And it's super acidic, getting a sore bum. Just curious is all. I'm using Maple syrup no. 3 (or D quality for you Americans, $35 bucks a liter but really night and day for energy from the other stuff yet has exactly the same sugar/carbs/calories as no.2. Just has a slight molasses taste with the maple) Could that have anything to do with the goo?
So far me experience has been off and on. Day 1 had a headache. Day 2 started to feel good. Day 3,4,5 felt great and energized. Day 6, and 7 I've statred to really feel like like crap. Headaches, tired, hunger (Even though I'm still powering down a lot of drinks with SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) in morning) In every post I've read you feel better at the end not worse. Any idea what's going on with me? It's really making it hard to continue. But I will.
Finally. If I'm still pooping rancid stuff and feeling kinda crappy by day 10 (Maybe I'm still getting rid of bad stuff) should I extend the fast for a few more days? I've come this far and what's a few more if it needs it. Any answers or motivation would be helpful. Thanks.Advertisement

BOTI = better out than in.
It'll be what it'll be for >you< There is no rhyme or specific reason when or how you have more energy or feel better. Each person is different with different levels of toxicity and each time you do the cleanse it will be different.
Liquid in = liquid out. Basically after about the 3rd day it's mostly fluids but since you had a colonic at the begining it was prolly mostly fluids from the git go.
Sounds like you're getting rid of a lot of gunk . Make sure to drink at least equals amount of water to lemonade so you keep things moving and flush the system out.
There is no magic demarcation point at 10 days. That is just hte MINIMUM. While you're doing a great thing for yourself don't expect any miracles at 10 days and that you'll be bouncing of the wall with a minimal cleanse. Read the Detox stages in the FAQs for a general guideline for the cleansing timeline.
It takes around 2 weeks to flush out the causative agents and after 2 weeks is when the "real" cleansing at the cellular level is just begining.

This is a reply to # 1,392,973Thank you for the info. Like I said the energy comes and goes but I seem to be somewhat "Starving" all the time no matter how much I drink. Makes it a bit of a mind over matter thing.
When you say equal water to lemonade is that how it sounds... Drink one cleanse drink... wait... then have a glass of water. Because when thirsty/hungry I've just been drinking the lemonade and nothing but the lemonade.
There is a lot of gunk I'm getting rid of. At first I thought it might be remnants of the Lemon or the coloring is coming from the dark syrup I'm drinking (Number 3 quality really does make a difference) But I do think it's stuff being knocked loose somewhere inside me.
As for timeline I'll see how long I can hold out. I know I definitely am in for 11 days as I have to work Sunday and don't want to mess with the chemistry. For a first cleanse is it good to push it for too long. I can always start again at another time or is it better while I'm this far in too try and go a further distance. As I said my head hurts a bit and I am starting to feel worse not better, or is that my body "cleansing"? In any case I'll try to play it by ear by day 11. If I feel totally awful I give myself permission to wean off. Nothing to be ashamed of having made it all the way on my first try.

You are exactly right. It is mind over matter!
That part gets to be very familiar as you move into more cleanses. It is like a muscle that gets stronger, the brain's ability to shift perception of hunger, knowing it is OK to be fasting.

This is a reply to # 1,393,199I never feel really "hungry" doing the Master-Cleanse but by 8-10 days I've adapted quite well and it's a much smaller challenge to eat solid foods. Like it was mentioned... your body changes to a different state and it becomes almost all head games. :)

How many lemonades are you drinking daily? Often lack of energy can be attibuted to not having enough lemondes and if you haven't been drinking water in addition to the lemonade it is highly propable that you could be dehydrated and this would also mean that you are not keeping the toxins being released diluted enough and moving out making you feel a bit ill. Are you doing the SWF daily? It's the most efficient way to flush the nasties from your system. When feeling a bit ill or headachy the first line of defense is to just start drinking a bunch water to keep any toxins diluted and helping the system pass them out. To help a bit with energy levels many have found a tblsp of blacksrtap molases here and there will help maintain energy levels.
I don't regiment my intake when I do it as far as intervals between drinks etc. As far a drinking water I would wait 1/2 hr before or after each lemonade drink.
No such thing as pushing it too long for a first cleanse. That is just a rationalization for quiting. My 1st I was going for 2 weeks and wound up doing 40 days. It changed my life!! I consider 21 days my minimum although I will generally go 40. 21 days will give the system a good week of deep cleansing. Several short cleanses will never have the effect of one long one as in the shorter cleanses the system never reaches the deeper cleansing cycle.

This is a reply to # 1,393,297Thanks for all the info pepe. I am drinking about 10 - 12 lemonades but until today was just drinking those and not water. After adding water tonight I felt much better.
I am doing the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) every morning. takes about ten minutes and the floodgates open.
With all your info and help (Very much appreciated) We'll see how tommorrow goes. That will set the pace for the rest of my cleanse.
Otherwise all is good. - Re: Day 8 Newbie - What am I pooping... Jaysin

Hi Pepe,
What do you mean by "changed your life?" Im on day 8 this is my third cleanse its going great. I was thinking of going longer because my last cleanse felt like it was forced to end on day 10 due to out town meetings. Why is your minimum 21 days?
