IBS and Master Cleanse

[Dodes]

Hi,

I am thinking of doing my first MC. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and am curious if others with IBS have found that the MC has improved their symptoms? Also a bit worried since I often have diarrhea and cramping, wondering if the tea/SWF will make symptoms worse? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hey Dodes,

I've read about alot of people getting help with their IBS. If you think about it, the cleanse shuts down digestion and cleans your insides out and resets everything so I totally think it will help. I used to be super irregular and always irritated in my stomach and cutting out dairy helped but the cleanse was my saviour. it really made a difference.

below is a post i wrote to someone with a similar problem and i thought that answer applied to you to

hey!
welcome.

here, what i think,
when your body is acting out, that's the best sign that 1. what you're doing right now is no good and you need to make a change 2. it's time to cleanse!

take some time and do more research on the MC and fasting in general and you make the decision that's best for you. but giving your body a break from eating and the time to heal itself would help. at this point, you can only go up right?

and don't worry about energy, the maple syrup will keep you going. the first few days will be a little tough, more so mentally but physically bc your body is adjusting and if you're used to caffiene and such you'll get headaches.
but no worries. check out this website: http://www.rawfoodexplained.com/intr...on-to-fasting/

hope this helped

also try doing a search for IBS or irritable bowel syndrome and read the posts that others have written about their experiences.

best wishes with everything!

Hi,

I was diagonsed with IBT last year. I don't have many of the symptoms associated with IBT, so you can take this with a grain of salt. One of the issues I had was that my colon would act up when I had hot foods. I was extremely worried about the use of cayenne in the cleanse. It has not been a problem for me. I am Mexican-American and grew up on spicy foods, but foods like Indian food would upset my stomach a lot. I hope this helps.
