cramps with cleanse?

Just wanting to know if there are cramps with the BMs during the bowel cleanse. I tried some tea a long time ago (aprox 10yrs) while doing an herbal weight loss program...it had a cleanse/burn/build concept & I didn't research it just knew my friend lost 60lbs on it... looking back I know now that the tea was a laxative tea & I had a lot of cramps with it. Was wondering if what products everyone here uses for the cleanse & if they create cramps.
Much Thanks
