Re: Wierd pains and crackling noises...
I dont think you quite understand what I've been saying.. Let me give you my history of bowel cleansing. I'm 24 years old, I've done about 6-7 months in total (not in a row) of bowel cleansing with all sorts of "the best" bowel cleansers around (bowtrol, dr schulze both formulas, even pure psyllium, etc)
For a very long time my daily bowel movements were healthy, and there were no signs whatsoever of fecal impaction as there are now. However, after about my 5th bowel cleanse with all products that "claim" their herbs are fresh, organic, and not irradiated, I developed that sensitivity. Basically even after the first day sometimes of taking the most minor dosage of any of these cleansers, anything I eat (and even sometime don't have to eat anything) I'll get diarrhea like crazy, and it'll last ALL day, relentlessly. And like I said I eat very healthy, and I try to remove anything acidic and citrusy or anything at all that will upset my stomach during this period of cleansing. A lot of the times (recently) I have to stop after about 2-3 days. I haven't been able to finish a single cleanse in over a year. I can't imagine that the herbs themselves are even aloud to do their jobs at this point if they themselves are going right through me...
Oddly enough though .. I started noticing this crackling after doing liver flushes (unlikely coincidence), and the pains, and very gradual loss of appetite and BM frequency. I started doing liver flushes a year ago.
As far as the herbs go, they DO damage your gut if used in long term - they'll literally break down the intestinal walls (that's the irritation your talking about) and cause pigmentation (turns the intestines BLACK!) as well as making your intestines become dependant on them - meaning even AFTER you stop your colon will be less able to do it's job on it's own, and gradually be more and more sluggish. As well as a multitude of other immediate imbalances and problems. And believe me I've experienced these issues first hand.
Even several of our own have posted about it on curezone. Yet this link doesn't give the full list of issues:

Leaky gut syndrome suffers drastically from this as the gut lining in this situation is already permeable (having HOLES) hence the symptoms of leaky gut being migraines and fatigue - all those toxins in the bowel are getting into the blood stream!
I honestly don't know to do. I can't continue using these stimulant laxatives as I've had SEVERE symptoms of leaky gut syndrome for over 10 years, I need to heal my gut not destroy it further .. But I can't ignore this fecal impaction and nothing else works. However I wouldn't be suprised if this chronic use of stimulant laxatives in the past is what's causing my impaction now...
