I tried the flush last night

[Guest guest]

I did the flush last night- or tried to anyway. I was too hungry to

completely fast after 2:00 PM, so I ended up having bread with honey

at around 2:15.

I took the epsom salts at 6:00, and got HORRIBLE cramps and diarhea

from it. The pain was just starting to subside at 8:00 when I had to

get my kids to bed, and I couldn't bring myself to drink any more of

it. At 9:45 I discovered that one of my children ate the last

grapefruit, so I had olive oil with lime juice instead (from a

bottle.) Ugh that made me feel so nauseated!! I couldn't bring myself

to take more epsom salts in the morning, either, when I already had

loose stools and didn't want to be stuck in the bathroom at the time I

had to get my kids ready for school. (This flush would have been even

harder for me on a weekend with the kids home all day.)

I had trouble sleeping last night, and had to make several trips to

the bathroom during the night. I didn't do the " colander in the toilet

bowl " thing because I didn't want to gross out my kids! We only have

one bathroom so setting up a stone-catcher in one bathroom and having

the family use another bathroom wasn't an option. Anyway, I've been

peeking in the toilet and there's been greenish stuff floating in

there. So I guess the flush did what it was meant to!
