Re: Why do I get diareahha when cleansing?

Hello! Diarrhea and vomiting is the body's way of removing harmful substances as in food poisoning, too much drinking, etc. Diarrhea also happens when your body is trying to get rid of toxins, as in an herbal colon cleanse. Your body is trying to get the poisons out as fast as possible through diarreah and vomiting. If you are constipated after an herbal cleanse, your body may be trying to become dependant on either senna or cascara sagrada (buckthorn)if they are included in the formula; these natural laxatives can be harmful (your colon will become lazy and addicted to them) if used for over 30 days or so. After you finish your cleanse, try just using psyllium husk powder daily along with 2 quarts or more of water daily to bulk up your stools and to keep you regualr. This will also help reteach your colon to not be so lazy if the above mentioned herbs were used. I hope this helps.
