For the record, taking a laxative is EXTREMELY painful while you are on your period if you already experience cramps.
I woke up last night in intense pain, followed by sitting on the toilet for about 30 to 40 minutes. It was horrible. I really think that when doing this diet the laxative isn’t needed until the second day. I understand you want to be sure things are moving right from the start, but I think doing a salt water flush this morning would have been enough.
I am no even going to do the salt water flush because I have been making frequent visits to my friend the toilet all morning. So in my opinion it is not needed and will only cause more pain.
Again for the record, having cramps from needing to expel while having period cramps intensifies both and I can imagine it being much less painful than child birth itself. I’m serious!
