So yesterday I was feeling pretty good... I worked out for one hour. Did 30 min yoga in the morning and then 30 min strength in the afternoon.
At night I decided to take a detox bath one cup baking soda two cups(maybe a little more) epsom salt, I have a small bath tub. I was in the tub for about an hour... It felt good haha
Upon getting out though I got a headache... could have been heat from the tub or tight muscles from working out. no biggy sat at my computer and then I was hit with a sharp pain just to the left of my belly button and a little nausea. When I got my appendicitis they actually cut into my belly button through the muscle.
I was a little worried but starving so I made two eggs, I needed something with protein. Then went to bed.
Woke up this morning feeling fine ate a salad went to use the bathroom normal large bowel movement but then about 30 min after I had to use the bathroom again. Not diarrhea but a much looser bowel movement.
Just wondering if I should be worried about c-diff or anything. The only things I changed was I drink a TON of water yesterday. I had been slacking and eating to much fiber the days before so I wanted to check up. And I took the epsom salt bath.... Could I have just absorbed a lot of mg+ from the bath. I felt very good while in it but once I got out very dried out.

Yes you can absorb alot of magnesium and you can herx from the detox. When I first got sick I had severe joint inflammation and the epsom salt baths would feel great until about 20 mins later, then I would be in agonizing pain. A regular hot bath did not have the same effect.
Today, after a couple years of slow detox, I am able to enjoy an epsom salt bath and actually feel better afterward.
Now it is FIR saunas that seem to give me trouble and like you, I experience headaches and my bloodpressure goes up.
Since I receive no magnesium from the sauna, I believe the reactions are related to moving toxins around in the body.
