Is BellyFlush Safe? 3 Laxatives, 1 Week on the Pharmacy Label, 0 Doses Declared

Key facts

• Dose: no amount declared for any of the eleven ingredients. No sennoside content either.
• Duration: none printed. A current US senna label says do not use laxative products for longer than 1 week, unless directed by a doctor.
• Aloe (NCCIH): oral aloe latex can cause abdominal pain, cramps and diarrhea. Oral aloe leaf extract has been linked to cases of acute hepatitis.
• Digoxin: overuse of aloe latex may increase the risk of adverse effects from cardiac glycosides, such as digoxin.
• Licorice (NCCIH): glycyrrhizin can cause serious adverse effects, especially in people with hypertension or heart or kidney conditions.
• On the bottle: no caution, warning or interaction line appears on any artwork supplied.

Is BellyFlush safe to take?

This site cannot say. Safety with a laxative depends on the amount and on the number of nights. The pack declares neither. No Supplement Facts panel came with it, so there is no milligram figure for any of the eleven ingredients and no sennoside content.

What this page can do is report what named sources say about the ingredients. Those are statements about the ingredients, not about this capsule. They say what somebody else measured.

The practical answer is short. If you are healthy and curious, treat a first bottle as a short trial and keep it short. If you take any daily medicine, have high blood pressure, or have a heart or kidney condition, ask a pharmacist before the first capsule.

What is the 7-day rule on the pharmacy senna label?

A current US over-the-counter senna laxative carries a Drug Facts box. The active ingredient is sennosides 8.6 mg in each tablet. The purpose is laxative. The warning reads: do not use laxative products for longer than 1 week, unless directed by a doctor.

BellyFlush is a dietary supplement, so that warning does not govern it. But the comparison matters. The same class of ingredient sits at the top of the pack's list, and the pharmacy label bounds its use at 7 days. BellyFlush prints no bound at all, and its six-bottle pack is 180 nights.

The last four words of the warning carry the advice. If you want to go longer, a doctor decides.

What side effects can BellyFlush cause?

The pack lists no side effects, and no stop-use line is printed on the artwork. So the points below come from named sources about the ingredients.

• Aloe: NCCIH records that oral aloe latex can cause abdominal pain, cramps and diarrhea, and that oral aloe leaf extract has been related to cases of acute hepatitis.
• Aloe and cancer: NCCIH also notes that the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classed whole leaf extract of aloe vera as a possible human carcinogen.
• Senna: the OTC label says to stop use and ask a doctor for rectal bleeding or for failure to have a bowel movement after use.
• One supplied review line said the first week was too much. This site cannot verify it.

None of this proves that BellyFlush causes any of these effects. It shows what the ingredient sources say.

What did FDA decide about aloe and cascara?

On 9 May 2002, FDA published a final rule, 67 FR 31125. It moved aloe and cascara sagrada to category II for over-the-counter laxative use, meaning they should be deemed not generally recognized as safe and effective for that use. The stated reason was the lack of data and the failure of interested persons to submit new carcinogenicity data. It took effect on 5 November 2002.

Two things to hold. First, it is a ruling about over-the-counter drugs, not about this product or about supplements. Second, it is not a finding that either plant causes cancer. It is a finding that a requested kind of study did not arrive.

Senna was not moved. It remains an approved OTC laxative, with the label above.

What does the licorice ingredient add to the picture?

The pack names licorice root extract eighth in its list. NCCIH says licorice contains glycyrrhizin, which can cause serious adverse effects. Even small amounts have been linked to severe effects in people with hypertension or heart or kidney conditions, and more so in large amounts or over a long time. It adds that licorice without glycyrrhizin might be safe for up to 4 months.

Nothing supplied says which kind of licorice is in BellyFlush. That is one more reason a person with blood pressure, heart or kidney issues should ask first.

Milk thistle, the last name, is described by NCCIH as well tolerated by mouth, with thin evidence of benefit.

What is the safety picture at a glance?

Every row about an ingredient says what a source found. None says what is in this capsule.

What should you do before you start?

1. Take the bottle, or its name, to a pharmacist and ask about your medicines.
2. Ask how many nights are sensible for you, and get the answer in writing.
3. Pick a quiet night and drink the 8 oz of water the pack names.
4. Stop and see a doctor for rectal bleeding, for no bowel movement after a laxative, or for cramping that does not settle.
5. Drink enough fluid, since dehydration matters more with this class than with most.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? NCCIH records that oral aloe may be unsafe in both. Ask before you start.

Our view

A safe answer needs two numbers, and BellyFlush gives neither. That is the plain finding of this page. It is not a claim that the capsule harms anyone. It is a claim that a buyer cannot check.

Our view is practical. Ask before you start, plan the number of nights, and keep the first run short. If you notice bleeding, no bowel movement, strong cramps or signs of dehydration, stop and call a doctor.

BellyFlush is a dietary supplement. It is not a medicine, and it is not FDA approved, because no supplement is. It does not treat, cure or prevent any disease. This page is general information and not medical advice.

Ask the desk the two questions that matter

Call +1 (800) 390-6035 and ask for the sennoside content and the number of nights, in writing. The pricing page has the packs.
