Many popular colon cleanse herbs contain substances called anthraquinones, such as cascara sagrada, rhubarb, and senna.
Anthraquinones are responsible for the laxative effects of these herbs, but they have also been linked with these side effects
1.Strong cramping and griping pains in the abdomen due to muscle contractions.
2.Electrolyte imbalance (loss of potassium) and loss of body fluids
3.Nausea, bloody diarrhea, rash
4.Dark pigmentation in the colon, called melanosis coli, with longer term use.
5.May interact with heart medication.
6.Pregnant or nursing women and children should not laxatives containing anthraquinones
7.Linked to liver toxicity, hepatitis, kidney impairment, increased risk of colorectal growths (adenoma) and cancer
