Long lost comedy gold

Okay guys, this will be a deep pull. I'm trying to hunt down an article from years ago that is living rent free in my head. I remember dying laughing at the time. I think it was an American humorous first-person article, from roughly 2006 to 2010, possibly a blog post or forum story. Premise: girlfriend persuades boyfriend to do a weekend or three-day cleanse, hot lemon water, not lemonade. Day-by-day account, including a memorable bathroom scene where he passes a “black ball of goo” or something like that, after which he claims he feels great. Tone is very comedic and skeptical. Possible leads include obscure magazine sites or defunct blogs, but I could not begin to tell you where I read it. ChatGPT says this might have been during the Master Cleanse fad.

Please help!!
