sorry for your bad experience on your flush. i did not cut off water in my Liver Flushes and have read many posts of flushers here that they have continued to drink lots of water after 2pm of flush day. with knowing that i'm going to be inducing diarreah with the epsome salts i would drink a lot of water to try to avoid dehydrating. I also continue to drink apple juice past 2pm as well. also i got the idea somewhere on this forum to drink the Epsom Salts with apple juice, which I did for my last flush and wow it made them so much more palatable...i mean yes still pretty gross but no where as bad as with just plain water. the Epsom Salts always made me feel sick but mixed with the apple juice not so bad. so perhaps give it another go. everyone always says each flush experience is different so i'm sure you'll have a different experience next time and hopefully a successful flush.
