I can't speak for everyone of course but I would never, ever do one of these. I do on occasion, or did before I was diabetic, an juice fast about once a month with a very hot bath at the end of the fast. The next day I would make sure to eat plenty of fresh veggies and fruits and yogurt. There are also specific foods that you can consume that will help to cleanse the body of toxins.

Some folks use these cleanses all the time, BUT there are others who have had very serious problems that have developed from their use.

If you do decide to do one be very careful to read the ingredient list even if it says gluten-free on the box. Some companies consider things like wheat grass and barley grass to be safe. They are not.

There are a million remedies for one to take care of themselves.

THIS IS NOT ONE! Please don't even attempt it. Raven offered some great advice.

The others have given good advice. It's simply a bad idea. For some specifics, look here:

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      It should be noted that Gluten Free Watchdog has voiced concerns about the methodology used by MomsAcrossAmerica's lab for their gluten testing. I don't have access behind their paywall, but here are 2 relevant public posts from them on this topic.

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      I recently purchased Simple Mills crunchy almond flour chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chocolate chip cookies and had reactions to both. I learned of my gluten sensitivity 3 1/2 months ago and struggled with finding gluten-free foods but, with my husbands help, I have felt better than I have in many years. After eating these cookies my symptoms returned...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry. Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency. Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency. Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease. Thiamine can run out in as little as three days...

      @Heatherisle, You have good reason to worry.   Ask the doctors to do an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to test for Thiamine B1 deficiency.  Thiamine deficiency is frequently found in B12 deficiency.  Deficiencies in all the B vitamins are common with malabsorption due to Celiac disease.  Thiamine can run out in as little as three days.   Thiamine deficiency symptoms can be mistaken for other diseases such as MS and Guillian-Barre Syndrome.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include pain in legs and abdominal pain as well as depression and gastrointestinal symptoms. Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B 12 together relieve nerve pain.

      Just an update on my daughter. She is still in hospital and getting quite depressed about everything. She had a CT scan of head and chest to rule out stroke in view of her symptoms. Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to do further blood tests to check vitamin levels. My husband and I are trying to reassure her the best we can that hopefully it’s just her body’s reaction to having the Vitamin B medication and it’s affecting her nervous system etc. Think the tingling has subsided but still having some lower back and pelvic pain and some leg pain. Thanks for reading and my apologies if I sound paranoid.
