Non-Gimmicky Cleanse to Move Old Food Out

Posts: 131 Member
After I visited back home, I took a day off and ate some good ol' southern food. It's far heavier than anything I have been eating, and now I feel very uncomfortable, sluggish, and bloated.
I am not interested in a "cleanse" to "lose weight" etc, like the Master Cleanse.
Just wondering if anyone had any tips besides time and waiting it out.
I ate this meal yesterday at lunch and still haven't eaten 24 hours later - I feel far too full, like eating another bite would make me throw up. Still!

Prunes, salad, probiotics.0

Prune juice FTW!
As a kid, I remember grown folks used to drink this carbonated stuff in a green glass bottle.... Citrus Nitrate... or something like that. That was some 'twice a year max, during a 3-day weekend' type of stuff.0 -

You're going to get this a lot, but water, water, water! That's what helps me after pizza and beer night with the friends. I put lemon in it as well. I also eat food high in fibre, or with a high water content. I normally do a lettuce and spinach salad with lots of veggies and green apples, and for dinner something with beans galore with a side of the salad I made for lunch. It helps me feel less gross and bloated. Did I mention water? :laugh:0

High fiber foods, plenty of liquids especially coffee or green tea (not for any mythical cleanse like properties, just for the fluid and the caffeine). Nuts are a good choice too, the fiber and the fats will sometimes loosen things up. And when I feel particularly bloated with foods I'll sometimes do some belly dancing moves. It sometimes seems the twisting and muscle contracting will get sluggish bowels to respond.0

Maybe magnesium citrate?0 -
There are exercises that are supposed to stimulate peristalsis.
Try dynamic horse stance! (Maybe the horse is so dynamic because he's 10 pounds lighter)

I found that some good hard exercise will get me going again. If the food had a fair amount of sugar, it will make you sluggish. As for me, it takes a few days to get rid of the sugar blues, even with exercise.0

Lots of water and a 30 to 40 min run/jog.0

I use coffee and water. Those are my go-to things. Pretty much helps with regularity, alertness, hydration, not killing people in the mornings...0

I second that emotion. Caffeine saves lives.0
