I've been struggling with incomplete bowel movements for a while so I decided to try some Cascara Sagrada.
The first morning after taking it the night before, I woke up extremely dehydrated - severe headache, dry mouth, fatigue, etc. I had to drink about 5-6 litres of water to feel better, which is way more than my regular ~2 litres a day. My urine (when I did finally pee) was dark yellow. No bowel movement though, in fact I didn't have any at all that day.
I took a bigger dose of Cascara that night and the next morning woke up feeling even more dehydrated than the previous morning. It was one of the worst headaches I'd ever had, and my mouth felt like cotton - I think I drank about 7 litres of water to quench my thirst that day. No bowel movement that day too.
By the third day, the same thing was happening (took Cascara the night before, extremely dehydrated the next day, no bowel movement), but now I was also starting to get very bloated, was experiencing significant pain and cramping, and nausea.
The fourth day was the same, with such bad nausea that I felt like I was on the verge of vomiting for hours; I felt like if I did something so simple as breathe wrong I wouldn't be able to contain myself and hurl. I didn't take Cascara that night after experiencing such nausea, and I still haven't experienced a bowel movement.
How can I:
1. Be getting constipated by taking Cascara
2. Be getting so dehydrated if I'M NOT ELIMINATING ANYTHING?
