Has anyone tried this? I am thinking flushing out my system may help with my IBS. Thoughts?

I drink lemondade and dont have a problem with it. Sometimes I water it down depending on how strong it is.

I think its a personal thing, I fast during the incredibly hot days when i work outside, and sometimes I fast just because it seems to soothe my gut. I have 3 friends with IBS ( i guess birds of a feather really do flock together) and they dont see how I do it because they would be sick. I definatley wouldnt make it a long term thing, as I only fast for a day at a time. I also have a hard time with the lemonade, I personally would stick with natural and less acidic fruit juices. I think the bottom line is to not gamble, the one thing i have learned from experience is to be flexible, sometimes you dont want to eat and other times you may eat six small meals a day. If you are the type of person that has to eat every 2 hours dont take the risk of an sort of fast, even one as small as going from 2 hours to 3 hours between meals.

I did the Master Cleanser for one day and had a flat tummy to brag about by the end of the day. But, I couldn't stand not eating for that long, and it's not good for IBS anyway.
That said, I do drink the Master Cleanser Lemonade from time to time for breakfast. It tastes really yummy!

I think it may soothe my gut as well. At the end of day one, I feel pretty good. A little hungry, perhaps, but not bad overall. We'll see how it goes. I'll try to report back.

I love lemonade and usually can handle some acidity from foods, but I don't think I could do a lemonade fast very well. I have to eat at elast six small meals a day or else my system goes wacko on me (it's usually wacko anyway! lol) Interesting though... I'm more for all-matural than medicines if I can help it, but so far haven't been at all lucky with fasting. What other types of fasting are there??

My tummy goes into convulsions when it's empty so I wouldn't try it myself. If you do let us know how it goes for you

for the record, it's not actual lemonade, but more like a sweet, sour, spicy water. not very appetizing, but it does the trick.
day two. still going strong. IBS symptoms almost all but gone. lost 4 lbs.

I actually love love the taste of this stuff. Some days, I drink at least two throughout the day just as a regular drink.
