Today I got a question about lack of bowel movements while on the Master Cleanse…
Hey Raylen, today’s my fourth day on the master cleanse, but I don’t seem to be making any bowel movements, it’s really frustrating, I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong, I read your book many times to figure out why am I constipated but it didn’t mention anything about that, I know it’s one of the side effects, but I still will appreciate it if you have any suggestions, thank you.
Not everyone eliminates pounds and pounds of solid waste on the Master Cleanse. For many people their bowel movements are mostly liquid so do feel like Master Cleanse cleanse isn’t working because your body is still cleansing itself.
Here’s some Tips For Eliminating Waste During The Master Cleanse

Thank you Raylen I will definitely try out the tips you suggested, it’s my 6th day on the cleanse and still no bowel movement but I’m going to stick to it till the end for 10 days. Another thing I wanted to ask you was do you think I should do the cleanse for more than 10 days since I’m not eliminating anything? I’m doing this for weight loss so I really do want to lose atleast 10 lbs. Please let me know thank you.
Nancy, you should be doing the salt water flush each morning especially if you aren’t producing bowel movements. You aren’t going to get the detox benefits if you can’t eliminate. The salt water flush works wonders. Are you using the laxative tea at night? I did the salt water flush on the 2nd and 3rd day but after that I noticed the evening laxative tea was doing the trick by itself. Good luck to you!
hi, i ask u abt master cleanse, can i use maple syrup grade A plz tel me, thankx
I am technically on day two with two day leading into it.I haven’t had any food at all for these four days. I started using the sea salt flush on the first day and again today and have used the laxative at night. I still have not had an elimination at all, even with the salt water flush( just expelled liquids). I did drink a small glass of prune juice this evening but am worried that I should be doing something by now.I have had horrible headaches and aches and pains in back and legs. I have felt awful. And have to admit I succumbed to taking a ibuprofen for the pain, which I know was the last thing I should have done, but I figure I will just stay on the cleanse a few extra days if that helped get me through the first two hard day. Everyone says it is better after that. I must really be toxic if it hurt that awful…tongue is white and nasty but luckily the hunger attacks have pretty much gone away. Hoping there will be less pain tomorrow. I feel like it is going well except for the bowel movement…not sure if that is normal or not. Sure would like some input on that part.
I am on day 5 of the master cleanse and doing good. Feel like I can do the ten days now.
Did the salt water flush today as it was the only day I could as I have to work during the week, but will do it again on the weekend. IT was tough to get down but well worth it, also used the laxitive tea at night. It works in 12 hours for me..
Hi:
I am day 4 of the master cleanse, had some water bowel movements on day 1 and 2 but none since.
I have done the salt water cleanse and have taken the natural pill for of laxative (sena). Still nothing. I do feel constipated.
I bought some metimucil today and took that 3 times and have drank lots of water. Still nothing.
I have been swimming almost each day, and so the exercise part is there also.
I stopped taking my supplements and vitamins.
Any ideas?
