A cleanse? One of my FB friends just did one, and then when H was picking up some protein powder I noticed a Jillian Michaels Cleanse/Detox on the shelf nearby. It said it didn't have any laxatives in it...so what the heck? Has anyone done one, and what was your experience?
Re: Has anyone done
Yup. Its pretty gross but VERY interesting!!
You would be shocked at what is lurking up there.
I won't ever do one except for the ones required for a colonoscopy, when I start getting those years down the road. They're just a dangerous gimmick.

I have done the cleanse required for a colonoscopy as well and I don't think I could ever bring myself to do anything like that again if I didn't really have to (i.e. for another colonoscopy). It was certainly the worst part of having the procedure.
I think MIL has done a few cleanses but I've never asked her about them in detail. I know a friend of hers did one once and lost an unhealthy amount of weight and has never been able to gain it back.
Ha! This is because she spent the majority of those 40 days staring at the same tiny bathroom! Yikes!
I've never done one. DH did one recently. He says it wasn't horrible as far as feeling bad. Brace yourself for the TMI... he did say that the smell was like death though. I cannot even imagine what lurks in the dark corners of that man's colon...
What do you mean that's the wrong side? Tastes great to me!
