Hi. So, I didn't do enough research before trying the salt water flush & I need some help.
I haven't tried the MC yet, I just wanted to try to clean out my system before hand.
I wanted to have a few hours where my baby & toddler were asleep so I knew the night would be easier than the morning so I did it at night- and yes, I had eaten normal meals throughout the day
So, I used the right kind of salt/ correct ratio, just on a full stomach. It was not really painful, but definitely not comfortable either. No big urge/ eliminations and MAJOR bloating. This was last night and still- MAJORLY bloated.
I think I need to get some lax tea and try again, but now I'm just afraid that my body took in all that sodium. How long should I wait to try again (& this time I'll take the tea at night and do the SWF in the morning)???
Any help, suggestions, thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Do the Salt Water Flush on an empty stomach and it should work. Don't worry about the extra Sodium, Salt is good for you, contrary to what we've been taught by the Mainstream. The bloat will go away. If you're that worried about it take some extra Potassium to balance out the Salt.
Just try again on an empty stomach, and don't be afraid to even add a pinch too much. That's what I always do (empty stomach of course) and it works fast.
I would suggest taking a cleansing enema as soon as possible. You can use 1 teaspoon of salt for each pint of water, or 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon for a full 2 quart enema bag.
The water should be a few degrees above body temperature, preferably 103 F at preparation time.
Hi.
I've tried the SWF 4-5x before, and it only worked once out of all those tries. I always used either plain Sea Salt or himalayan salt before. I may have over-heated the water a few times so the salt was absorbed. I've tried it with 2 tsp, and with 1TBSP. I don't remember what I used the one time it worked (it was so long ago!
This morning, I used 32 oz of warm filtered water and 2 tsp of the salt. I drank the mixture at 7am on a mostly empty stomach (had 12 oz of plain filtered water 20 min earlier.)
***Once again, my body retained everything I put into it. It's 1:15pm now, and I've had no elimination of any kind (other than maybe 1/2 oz of urine.) I only had Baleine sea salt to use, which has magnesium oxide and the anticaking agent Yellow Prussiate of Soda in it. Could this have caused the problem? And/or is there a larger issue here with my electrolyte balance, since this has happened many times before (over several years?) What should I do now? (Or not do?) I have lots of heat in my cheeks, had a minor wave of dizziness about 30 min afterward, and am still extremely bloated.
I have now had another 16 oz of plain water, a small bowl of unsweetened cooked millet with coconut oil, & about 3oz of plain organic coffee (usually works quickly to move my bowels along.)
I had some urgency to do the flush this morning, even though I didn't have the purest salt available. I wanted to flush out what might be causing the horrible rumbling/burping/gas/bloating after drinking water from the headwaters of Sacramento river 2 days ago. (The source is known to be clean, and I've used it many times before, but this was the 1st time this season, and smelled slightly algae-like this time. Major intestinal upset followed after drinking small a couple pints over a 1-1/2days.) I needed to try something asap.
I also intended to try this for several days in a row this week. I need to clear my tract, and have very limited funds at the moment. I'm also concerned I may have a slight obstruction or flacid area in my bowel, and some diverticular issues (not extreme, but showing signs); I don't feel safe taking psyllium or clay right now.
I'd like to trust my gut, and clearly I've got some things to work out. Your knowledgable feedback and intuition are welcome.
Valerie - you suggested an enema to relieve bloating, and suggested 1tsp salt/pint. A salt-water enema? (I've never done one before.) More salt? Is this safe in my case? And would the Baleine salt be ok? Thanks for your help.
