After being on this board on and off around 3 years and having done 3 long MCs (40/28/21) I have read of extremely few peole passing anything but the now famous "butt pee" after the first coupla days.

Same here. I'm on day 8, and I haven't had anything to speak of since day 1.

I found the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) was sometimes a bit harsh on my system, too. For the last few days I've been doing what I normally do to keep myself regular: two pints of cold (from the fridge) water followed shorty by a hot cup of peppermint tea first thing in the morning.

It not only cleanses me, but it actually makes me feel refreshed and awake.

I'm on day 7, and while I have a small amount of diarreha like eliminations in the morning, mainly I have the "butt pee" experience you're talking about. I think the morning eliminations are a result of taking the tea at night. I also do the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) in the mornings, which is what causes the 'butt pee'.

I don't think most people have the 'rope' effect in a day 10 cleanse. If you really feel like you need it, maybe try a B&P shake AFTER the 10 day cleanse? Some people have said that worked for them...

Actually, i thought the "ropes" only came with the P&B "shakes". I don't know if it is the Bentonite or psyllium, but that is what brought out the ropes for me. I didi one fast without the P&B and didn't have nearly as good a "cleanse" if you get my meaning as with the shakes.
