If you’ve ever done a cleanse and noticed thick, rope-like strands or layers releasing from your body, you might have heard someone — maybe even your doctor say, “That’s just your intestinal lining.”
Is It Your Intestinal Lining? What You’re Seeing During a Cleanse
Here’s the truth:
What you’re seeing is not your intestinal lining. It’s what’s been coating and clogging it for years.
Your intestinal lining is living tissue.
It’s meant to absorb nutrients and keep your gut healthy. It regenerates naturally, but it does not peel off or shed in long, rubbery strands.
So if that’s not what’s leaving your body... what is?
What’s leaving during your cleanse is waste and buildup that has accumulated along your intestinal walls, often for years.
This includes:
- Mucoid plaque – rubbery mucus-like buildup from undigested waste and toxins
- Biofilm – protective layers created by bacteria and parasites
- Undigested food particles – hardened over time
- Parasites and their eggs – often hidden within mucus layers
- Chemical and heavy metal residue – trapped inside the waste
These layers block nutrient absorption, slow digestion, and contribute to bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and skin issues.
When that buildup finally loosens and leaves, most people notice:
- Clearer skin
- Improved digestion
- More energy
- Better emotional balance
- A deep feeling of lightness and clarity
That’s because your intestines can finally breathe and absorb again.
Your body is intelligent. It doesn’t release what it needs, only what it’s ready to let go of.
Every release is a message of healing. You’re not losing something vital; you’re shedding what’s been standing between you and your light.
At Sanctuary Holistic Wellness, our Ten-Day Cleanse is designed to guide your body through this process, gently helping release parasites, heavy metals, mucoid plaque, and emotional blockages.
This is cellular, emotional, and spiritual healing, all in one.
Trust your body.
Honor the process.
And remember: your body always knows the way back to balance.
With love and light, The Sanctuary Holistic Wellness Team

Cleanse FAQs
Is it normal to see rope-like strands during a cleanse?
It can happen. Many people notice thick, stringy, or rope-like material as old buildup loosens and moves out during a cleanse.
Is that my intestinal lining coming out?
No—your intestinal lining is living tissue and doesn’t shed in long, rubbery strands. What people often see is material that was coating the lining, not the lining itself.
What could those strands actually be?
They’re commonly associated with mucus and waste buildup, including mucoid plaque, biofilm, undigested material, and debris that can trap toxins over time.
What is biofilm in the gut?
Biofilm is a protective layer created by microbes. It can act like a shield, making buildup harder to break down and potentially contributing to bloating, sluggish digestion, and discomfort.
What benefits do people notice after releasing buildup?
Many report clearer skin, less bloating, improved regularity, more energy, and a sense of lightness or mental clarity as the digestive tract functions more efficiently.
How does Sanctuary Holistic Wellness support this process?
Sanctuary’s Ten-Day Cleanse is designed to gently support elimination and detox pathways while nourishing the body—helping the gut clear buildup and restore balance.
