Thank you all for answering my post...Okay, I see that I haven't been drinking enough water. I just believed that because the Master-Cleanse was had water in it, then that took care of my water intake. As for seeing a doctor about doing the diet because of my history. I have seen several doctors in the past,even had my colon examed. Noone could give me anwser as to what was causing the constipation, but they didn't really ask me much about my history either, just the regular bs-eat more fiber, here's your bill be on your way...So, I've given up on that option and doing it myself. I do feel as if my body is retaining a lot of water(even when I wasn't on the fast)-could I have edema? Arrrgh, I hope this is worth it.....
