Salt Water Flush

[Hamster]

I am not a doctor. I don't endorse any treatment. I just want to share my experience.

Several weeks ago I thought I had acid reflux because I had all the symptoms. Turned out I had peptic ulcer. So the doctor prescribed antibiotics which I didn't take. Instead I swallowed raw garlic after cutting it into smaller pieces. I felt better immediately. No more pain. However, around the same time I stopped having the urge for bowel movement. I had to try really hard to induce myself to have an urge. The urge came and went immediately and I could only get one tiny piece of crap out. I was getting worried that I might have impacted feces so I researched online for natural remedy. Salt water flush came up. A lot of people had success with it so I thought, why not?

So first thing in the morning, I drank a quart of warm water with sea salt fully dissolved. It is one of the most disgusting thing I had to drink but the result was worth it. After an hour I had the urge to go. I butt-peed so much that my butt hole became sore. I felt so much better afterward. If you have constipation and need help moving your bowels, you may want to research salt water flush and decide if it is something you should take.

Actually, when you go to see a doctor for constipation you end up going home with a prescription for something called Milk of Magnesia, or generally known as magnesium hydroxide. It basically a salt solution mix with water. I would assume it works better than sea salt, but I guess Hamster's method works also.

You are right. I read about that too and people who take it say it's effective. I thought since I have sea salt and water, mind as well give the salt water thingy a try. I guess they recommend uniodized sea salt because it has essential minerals and doesn't get absorbed by the body, whereas iodized table salt is striped of nutrients and gets absorbed, making you dehydrated. After you do the flush you have to take probiotics or eat food with live cultures to replenish good bacterias.

word bro....the only thing I would recommend is that you take a laxative in combination with the flushing...

Prunes act as a natural laxative and they contain fiber so including prunes or prune juice in your diet may help to manage constipation. Everyone responds to dietary changes differently so you may need to experiment with how much you need to get relief. I do prefer drinking prunes juice instead of salt water.

At first the salt water tasted like baw-baw (porridge)--which I was fine with. But the more I drank it the nastier it tasted. Prunes juice definitely tastes better. My nieces drink it on a regular basis. I'm starting to drink more water now, a quart every morning. So far I am regular again.

A starbuck's grande usually does the trick for me ...

Those Starbucks drinks look so good. If I wasn't hyperallergic to coffee, I would drink 'em everyday. I could, however, blast coffee into my anus but I am not that desperate yet.

You're welcome,
I also enjoy their iced black tea drink now.

I'm assuming the recipe is the same but with black tea and no lemon to it.
