I am on my 5th day of the Master Cleanse. It's my second detox and this time it has been a lot harder. I actually have gained weight, feel bloated and I'm almost certain I'm retaining water. I think its the salt water flush that is causing this. Any one else has had the same experience? Day 1 was fine. Day 2 I started having a massive headache and some lower back pain. By Day 3 the pain in my back had spread to my legs. Day 4 was a bit better in the sence that the pain reduced. However I did take Advil because I couldn't bear the pain. It was either that or stopping the detox altogether. Day 4 in the evening I felt very, very thirsty. I drank plenty of water, about a gallon, but still felt thirsty. Today I woke up, it's day 5, and turns out I've gained 2 lbs. from the first day. I decided not to do the salt water flush. From what I've read, this might be causing the pain, discomfort and bloating. I will wait until tomorrow to see how I feel. I bought oranges today in case I continue to feel bad and have to stop the cleanse. Any feedback would be really helpful. Thanks!
