a few emergency questions!! please help

i am in the midst of my first flush. i did everything as instructed according to HC's recipe last night. i woke up twice in the middle of the night, barely able to hold the vomit down. i managed to do so.

but...i am extremely dehydrated and could not even go to the bathroom this morning without giving myself an enema, and even after that i still barely went at all.

my questions...

1-do most of you follow the no food or drink (even water) after 2 pm?? i have read a few drink water all day as long as you space 20 min apart from cocktails. i broke down and drank some water this morning because my lips were so dry and i feel ill. it seems unnatural to me not to drink the water during a flush. it makes no sense.


2-this morning i am still very nauseous (from the oil) and don't know if i should attempt any of the Epsom Salts doses?? so far i have had pretty solid (yet floating) stool with my enema but no stones. i dissected it (yuk). i was expecting to have major butt pee from the salts but they have done the exact opposite so far...dehydrated and backed me up although i have really slow bowels to begin with.

i guess i am just worried this was all in vain. i would like to go the full distance since i have suffered so much with nausea all night and this morning and would hate to ruin the flush by not attempting the morning dose of salts. any thoughts? i am running out of time. it is 10 am where i am and still i have not taken any salts yet. i was thinking of attempting just one dose if it will affect flush or stone production (although i don't expect to really see any stones anyhow since it is my first flush).

thanks!
