I recently purchased a bottle of Total Cleanse. How much water should I drink while taking this product? What are the side effects (cramps or gas?) How often will I be the ladies’ room and how long after the initial dose will it ‘kick in’?

the most important thing is don’t drink too much water you can get water intoxication and it can kill you.

Drink a lot of water,as your trying to flush your system,about 8 glasses. You wont get “water intoxication” as stated previously unless you drink gallons and gallons of water,and im sure your body would start rejecting it and throw up long before that happened,so its not a real concern. Id expect to be in the bathroom quite a bit,and feel not so great.

It should tell you all that with the instructions, but at least 64 oz, most people shoot for 1 gallon because you are trying to cleanse. I do this every couple of months and the only side effects are frequents stools and hunger. I have never had cramps or ‘creepy things’ in my stool that they talk about on tv or excessive gas. I have had headache on the first day.
About an hour or two with the initial dose. I have gone up to six times a day, but I have had enough warning to know I needed to get to the restroom and didn’t have a problem with that.
