Cleanses: For the most part are probably not needed. You may need to be evaluated for electrolyte imbalance.

Stop the cleanse: You are depleted and doing more harm than good. Try a healthy diet and consider yourself smart enough to stop doing fads that never do much other than upset your electrolytes and deplete you. If you are trying to lose weight or get regular bowel habits you should consider life habits that actually make you healthier. Avoid feeling vulnerable and putting your body through stress.
