Thanks for your response.  I am about to drink the tea again myself...honey?? huh?? Ill give it a try...but Im not a huge fan of tea anyways so Im expecting to just "suffer" through it.

Try mixing the fiber with vanilla soy milk....if you put it in a blender with a couple of ice cubes, and drink it through a straw...it's actually a really tasty morning smoothie...I find I'm not even hungry for breakfast after that.   The straw and ice really help with the whole terrible texture thing.  I  gagged the stuff down the first few days until I discovered the soy milk, ice, straw combo.  Next week, I'm gonna try it in the chocolate soy milk...chocolate covered banana fiber smoothie, anyone?

Fyzer I've been mixing my fibre in a protein smoothie.  I called the customer service line today after seeing your question and they informed me that I can use juice with the fiber but not to mix it with the protein powder.  woops!

Ive been doing this for a few days now and I have finally been going to the bathroom which is not usual for me, sadly. I have been sticking to the instructions really well except for one night I got home too late and didn't drink the tea.  The next day I did not go to the bathroom at all...so its the tea thats making me go.

I know before that I was complaining about the flavor and I really appreciate all of your suggestions.  I go to work really early in the morning so there is no time for me to make a smoothie...Im usually running late.  Even though I do not like its taste of flavor, I have become used to chugging it with some apple juice.  Its not the most pleasent thing to experience but I gotta do it and it wont be forever AND Ill feel better...right?  So far I feel the same; the only difference is now I go more regularly than before...but its still just 5 days in. 

I also put apple juice in the tea at night and drink it cold.  I find that apple juice works well because it is soooo sweet and flovorful.  It also hides the color of the fiber well.  When I first chugged it with water it grossed me out visually on top of its taste and texture...apple juice helps.

When are we supposed to get our first funny looking BM?

Just had my first weird one...and I am weirdly excited.  For the record that took me 10 days. 

So, as I mentioned before...I am fairly ragular now which is big for me because I was going once a week before however, I am more bloated than ever and have gained 5 lbs.  Im not exhagerating...5 whole pounds!!

Does anyone know what happens if you don't take the Paranil??  I really don't think that I have parasites and I am a really bad pill taker...so...does it really effect the cleanse?

About weight...I got back from a trip weighing 12 pounds more than when I left.  I hadn't had a BM the entire trip...and you could SEE it.  My belly was so distended, it was insane.  I didn't fit into my pants.  Now, 12 days after starting the cleanse (which I started the week after the trip) I'm back to my pre-trip weight and belly has gone down (after the initial crazy bloating of the first 10 days). 

Patience is tough for me, but it has been worth it---even if I had to wear my elastic waist skirts for two weeks to work!

Also, any squeemish guys look away, but for ladies out there, I also think that the monthly cycle may have an effect on the course of this cleanse.  Nothing is reported on the website about this, not that I expect it, but I think it's something worth having info about out there.

There were a couple of days where things were not moving along as they had been and I took someone else's advise to cut back the fibre ... that seemed to make things ahem flow a little smoother.

I finally went today and it was A LOT.  It was very squishy so I couldn't really tell if it was anything like those pictures.  To be honest, it smelled so bad I didn't want to keep it around long enough to figure it out.

Can I suggest that you hold off on the fiber for a few days and increase the steeping time of the tea just until you become regular. Then only take 1/2 a scoop of fiber and continue on with the cleanse normally.

How are doing now?

edelenc, I find that my body took awhile to adjust to the program.  I know what you mean about that uncomfortable feeling.  I'm on my 18th day and it took a long time to de-bloat.  How long are you steeping your tea?  My advice would be to stick with the 1/2 scoop and increase the amount of time you're steeping the tea by 2 minutes per day until you start to get regular (but not loose).  Make sure you're drinking 8 glasses of water too - just don't over do it...I made the mistake of drinking too much water in the first couple days thinking more is better...but that's not the case.  It just made me super bloated and doesn't allow the fiber to do it's thing.

I believe with you reducing the fiber to half a scoop it should work out for you. If you are finding that you are still having challenges with your bm's try steeping one tea bag making 2 cups and drink one cup in the morning after breakfast and then another in the evening. I had this problem one time on the colonix program and I was told to do just that until I was regular. That helped me get going. How are things now?
