Taking cleansing treatment, I am bloated and constipated?

Been taking the herbal pills for 3 days. I have eaten lots of fruits and veggies along with water. Whats up?

Wow... This is why I normally recommend against herbal clense pills. They expand in you and they gently rub against your insides and scrub them clean of food that is stuck to your insides. Stuff like gluten, high sugar foods that were heated (like baked or grilled bbq sauce) and fried trans fats stick to you and clog you up. I would ease up on the pills and eat some more foods that will move things along like just the fruits and veggies, olive oil (if you cook w/ it, make sure you never heat it so hot that is smokes!) Choline, and flax seed oil, and veggies such as onions that have been fried or cooked until they are very soft will help. You can keep taking the pills if you want, but I would cut back on the dosage... personally I think that unless you were really clogged up before, you are probably pretty clean by now... In the future, if you want to do a more gentle clense, just cut out gluten (all foods containing wheat, oats, barley and rye), foods with added sugar or sweeteners (fuit or fruit juice w/o added sugar is good), and cut back on starchy foods for a few days and eat more fresh veggies sauted in olive oil. Do this for a day or two and that should do the same thing gently w/o all the bloating, etc. Saurkraut is also great for your small intestines but most ppl dont like the taste. You can try cooking it and flavoring it with spices and mixing it in with a gluten free food like rice, or you might try dishes that contain cooked cabbage. The cabbage is difficult to digest and it goes through you with the same effect as the pills, rubbing your insides to remove stuck on debris but again you should not have bloating problems with cabbage. Try different recipes if you dont like the taste. Good luck.
