Still same thing for me after day 8...I'm drinking more water (over 2 litres) in case my body needs more but so far, when I go to the bathroom I just sit there hoping something will happen and nothing does except gas  and the constant full feeling..really sucks. I'll try steeping my tea for 5 minutes tonight. I was sticking to 3 minutes before because I heard that Senna tea can cause "lazy bowel" if you rely on it too much to stay regular. I still have occasional headaches too.

I'm taking the fibre with a protein shake (usually one banana, a handfull of berries , vanilla soy milk and a scoop full of isolate along with the fibre) ...could that somehow affect the program?

Hi...
I haven't stopped my activities although it's always hard to motivate yourself to exercise when you feel bloated and full, which I have been feeling. But there's definately been no rushing to the bathroom for me. I have my fibre with my protein shake so that's not interfering either. Energy levels are so-so but I still push myself to go and feel better for it afterwards. But so far at Day 10, i'd say it's fine for my exercise routine. I think you're safe on that front.

DAY 12 - Nothing is happening...still feel gross and bloated. I am going to the bathroom once a day but there is straining and the portions are not that great so I stay feeling yucky. I had tried steeping the tea for 8 minutes and it didn't do anything. Last night, I didn't take any tea at all and this morning I went for a BM which was, again, small and not fufilling. So it seems the tea doesn't affect me. For this reason, I decided to take one lukewarm cup this morning after breakfast. I stepped it for 8 minutes again. I'm not sure why the program isn't working for me yet. Maybe I just have to wait, maybe the fact that I mix it in a protein shake messes us something? No clue. Will let you know if the morning cup of kleritea helped. I will end the month no matter what to ensure it's not just a matter of time, but if this doesn't get better, back to Dr.Natura the rest goes!

Also make sure you are drinking enough water.  That part is very important!

Sorry, you said in your post "vanilla soy milk" so that's what I was going off of.  I'd suggest doing the fiber with nothing but juice to see if that makes a difference.

Alright...Day 16. Nothing bad or good to report. Didn't have a significant BM today. Just pellet type things. I'm a rabbit all of a sudden apparently. Fun!
Energy is normal, gas more frequent than the norm for me, pee is still plentiful.
I'm taking the fibre with OJ now and drinking 8oz of water after.
I'm not sure what to do at the end of the month...should I continue in the hope something eventually happens or should I just get a refund?
To poo or not to poo. That is the question.

Day 21 . OK so for the last three days, no tea. My trips to the bathroom are more regular now. I'm not sure if the tea is a necessary part of the cleanse but on the kleritea package it says it's a detox. Hmm. My body seems to be doing fine without it. I'm sleeping well and going to the bathroom an average of 1.5 times a day (heh heh..) so I'll stick to maybe having one tea a week or something.
I am NOT having weird BMS or notice any significant changes in my health. I'm always thirsty but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I have more gas, not sure why but it's manageable. Stomach isn't flatter or bigger... Not sure what the Paranil is doing either but I'll stick with it. Almost day 20 and nothing to report. I'm just glad I'm going again.

I started taking the fibre with OJ and mixed berries or banana. Not sure if it's a bad idea to mix with fruit but I need to mix protein too and just OJ with protein AND fibre is too much to take.

I still get the metallic taste once in a while.

That's so weird, I felt like the tea worked too well for me.  If I steeped it more than a couple minutes, it made me go much earlier in the day than usual, and it was a lot looser than normal.  I guess everyone reacts differently! 

Hi everyone, going on day 27 and nothing has happened yet...not that that will surprise you. They have been my results since the beginning. I am not taking the tea regularly. I only take it once or twice a week. I'm taking in the Paranil, fibre and water as directed however. I have a BM a day, which is alright, and I don't feel backed up anymore, so that's good too. I think just taking in normal psyllium fibre and water would have the same results. I didn't think I had parasites when I started so I'm not surprised nothing came out  of that. (heh heh)

I get the feeling that people that have IBS because of anxiety/stress/emotions can't be helped by colonix. Some have IBS after stomach/ulcer/surgery....so that's a different story. When I'm stressed I either get mild constipation or have diarrhea, and this hasn't changed. I don't think fibre is the cure.

To all of you starting: good luck and keep us in the loop!

From my experience, prepare to have smelly poos, more farts, wayyy more pees and a roller coaster ride of bloating and flatter stomach.

Hello again:

I started the cleanse again but have gone without the tea for two weeks to see how it would go. It seems to be going well but I will start taking it 2-3 times a week to see if it makes a difference. I also took the one week break from the Paranil as suggested in the instructions. I'm now starting the second month and doing toxinout too. I'm on Day 35, so Day 5 of the second month of the plan. No weird poos again, but I'm not as bloated as the first time I did it. Will keep you in the loop.

Oh, I am now drinking the fibre with juice only. No more protein shakes for now.

ps: Watching LOST tonight...the plot thickens and thickens and thickens!

I've read on some of the Testimonials on the Colonix website that some people didn't have any results until 5-7 weeks into the program but they perservered and before you know it they were experiencing the "flush" - hang in there and good luck.
