Question:
Has anyone ever tried the saltwater flush?? Natural Laxative?
I read it's a natural laxative and your colon can't become dependant on it.
Answers:
If you drink water with dissolved sodium chloride, then your body will absorb the salt and likely raise your blood pressure and make you thirsty for plain water. It will not act as a laxative, for this you need a salt that the body will not absorb. If the body does not absorb it, the salt will enter the large intestines and cause osmotic diuresis. This will make you poop big time. You can get magnesium citrate at a drug store, just be sure you are near a bathroom when you take it. Oh one more thing, you body can become dependant on any laxative and unless you are constipated why take this in the first place.
