Today is day three.  I was afraid that it would be difficult at work going to the bathroom, but it hasn't been too bad.  Luckily we have a single bathroom so no one can come in.  The first day I had a few small BMs that felt like I hadn't really eliminated.  Yesterday and today, much larger morning BMs.  then a couple of smaller, thin ones.  No cramps, or anything else.  I've been steeping the tea for more than the two minutes.  The other night it was probably ten because I forgot about it.  Still no cramping that I remember.  Nothing else to report.

Thanks for the update! I'm going to start as soon as my shipment arrives and I'm trying to decide if Saturday is a good day to start. From reading the posts, I guess it all depends. Thanks!

Do be conscious of your water intake! It should be a big help with the getting the full benefits from the fiber.

I'm always amazed that some people can steep the tea for so long. If I went more than 5 minutes I would almost certainly wake in the night with stomach cramping. I did have bloating the first couple of weeks on the product. That isn't something I normally experience so I knew it was a reaction to the cleanse.

I just finished 4 days of colonix.  i haven't been taking the toxinout.  Today I had 3 bms.  Not as much as the other days but today I had the normal really soft full bowl bm.  But saw what looked like a couple off white rice looking things.  but it was bigger than rice and I don't eat rice.  They looked like little fat globules.  Hey I need to lose about 35 lbs and I'll take all the help I can.

I steep the tea for a really long time and notice no cramps.  I don't "go" right away in the morning, either, which I would prefer,.  I don't go until I'm at work and that's  a little tricky to get alone time, if you know what I mean. 

It's funny, I was very irregular for most of my life.  I'd go maybe once or twice a week.  then I changed my diet when I turned 40 to veggies, fruit, protein, salads, and yogurt.  No flour, no sugar,, very clean, whole food.  After a while of eating that way I lost over 100 lbs and was having 2-5 regular BMs a day.  then the junk food crept back in and I can tell when I"m not eating well as I get irregular again.  So it's nice to have some regularity with the tea.

So far I'm not that impressed with the product.  Seems to be a glorified stool softener. To be fair, however, in the last 6 weeks, I've only completed 3 weeks worth.  it's kind of a pain if I know I"m going to be busy, or not in my routine.  I've completed 5 or 6 days in a row now, and twice this week I didn't go at all.  And I would prefer to go first thing in the morning, but there's no rhyme or reason to when I go, if I go.  It might be a certain medicine  I started which has a side effect of constipation.  I would hope the cleansing would help with that.  I will continue with the product, I bought 3 months worth.  By the way, I didn't use the colon or paranil every day, but mot days I did use the tea.  I steep it forever and I till don't have cramps, or BMs in the morning, which I was hoping would be the case.

In order to give a fair opportunity for any natural herbs to work you need to take it every day and be consistant. I can appreciate you being busy and your health is important but to be disappointed about a product that you haven't used exactly as perscribed is hardly the fault of the product. As you mentioned you are taking a medication which could be a cause of constipation, perhaps you might want to call the help desk and they can assist you by answering that question for you.
I have been using colonix for 8 years now and it is an amazing product when used correctly. I also had experienced some challenges on the cleanse but my concerns were quickly alleviated because I called the help desk and made the adjustments that ended up working for me.

Taking just the tea at night will not guarantee a bm in the morning, especially if you have skipped the fiber and are not eating a high fiber diet. These all need to be taken into consideration. Should you continue with the cleanse give it the attention it needs and use it as perscribed - should you have questions call the help desk to get your answers and follow the recommendations. You will see the results you desire. Good luck, let us know how it has worked for you.

For me it did take between 3-5 weeks before the real "action" started. I was very skeptical when I first started the program but about 28 days into it I actually became very ill and wanted to quit. When I called the help desk they said that I should continue which I did reluctantly. But now I can say that I am really glad I did because 3 days later I was eliminating parasites as seen on the web site. Now you may not see those kinds of things but you will see some changes in what your bm's look like and how you feel overall. If your skin clears, your mood becomes more pleasant your energy picks up, these are all signs that the cleanse is doing its job. Look at what has happened overall. Good Luck.

Fyzer,

You shouldn't be straining at this point in the program. How long are you steeping the tea? Perhaps you should steep a little longer. Just a suggestion. How is your energy level? Have you seen an increase in that? There will be several benchmarks that are hard to detect along the way because you are looking each day. I had people comment on how I looked who I hadn't seen for about a month. They had noticed a great change in my eyes and my mood. It was quite a surprise but good to know that the cleanse really had such an effect. Hang in there you will find it quite beneficial.

How has everything been so far? You might want to make 2 cups of tea from one bag and drink one cup shortly after breakfast and have the other just before bed. That might help you get going again and not strain. Just a suggestion.

Taking a break between is not recommended as the program is just getting into full swing and then you stop. I would suggest that you continue the next 2 months straight through and you will definately see a significant difference overall.
Has anyone noticed a difference in how you look or your overall mood? This is what happened to me. I had a few people comment on my face and eyes saying that the face is clear and rosey looking and that my eyes have gotten a sparkle to them. I was also commented on my mood - seemed like I was a little sluggish and moody before . Oh well, I'm all for the better now.
You are on the right track and will see the results.

Fyzer

I understood you completely stopped everything. I know you will see a difference as this is the month where everything starts to show.
If you are eating healthy and have had no problems in the past with constipation or being regular there is a chance that your "pipes" could very well be clean. However, with all that is out on the market - vegetables etc there are many parasites that we cannot see and are ingesting daily.

Not pretty but very interesting.
