I'm 5'2" (started at 112lbs) and am nearing the end of my 10 days (only 10 as I am small framed and don't wish to concern anyone with too much wt loss-- though I've only lost about 5 so far, but what a significant difference in inches):
It's the morning of hte 7th at 4:30 am and cramps and stomach aches have been getting worse (generally in the am, but sometimes intermittent in the day). I'm usually ok at night. I believe these cramps really started morning of Day 4.
Is TUMMS antacid ok? It does contain sodium afterall. Although I know one shouldn't have intake of anything else but that stated in the "cleanse" but perhaps it would take the edge off?
So far, eliminations (chained to toiled bowl with cramps and tummy ache for 15 minutes or so at a time) and heat have help some.
Any advice. I don't want to quit b/4 Day 10, nor do I want to forgo the necessary laxatives (senna tea, salt water) as they are important for elimination of toxins.

Appreciate any advice.

Cutting back on the senna will probably solve yr problems. Senna is a agressive laxative. I never use it myself. take only small sips and not too often or find a milder lax tea

good luck
