Dear Alice,
A friend and I were talking and she mentioned that she'd used epsom salts once after a particularly extravagant post-Thanksgiving food binge to "clear out her system". I've been experiencing a lot of gastrointestinal distress lately due to a change in diet, and I've been thinking about trying a cleanse of some sort to sort of "reset" things. Would a colon cleanse or laxative be safe for me? Are epsom salts a good option?
