Day 2 and I woke up and didnt have to go at all. I know its the first day, but isnt the tea suppose to make you go??? anyway more later

Use a wisk to mix in your fiber.  I find that gets rid of clumps/lumps.  Drink fast...

Well day 3, and I will say last night I had a huge blowout which was very watery (diahrea) and two normal BMs. This morning I drank my fiber with OJ in a shaker and it tasted fine, which makes me happy since i gagged like crazy when mixed with water.  I got to work and another huge blowout. Nothing like the pics on the pages, but is this normal????  I steeped for 2 minutes and i kind of like the tea taste.

Day 5 NO BM for almost 30 hours then finally a little one. Disappointed.

day 7.  last night had a decent blowout but nothing big.  im very bloated lately is this common. I like to go to this local bar sometimes when i get afree hour to hang with a few of my buddies.  why i am saying this is I can go without a BM for a few days, and as soon as I get there.....wammmmmoooooooooo i dropped a BM that looked like my forearm..amazing.

Day 8 Well I had a few BMs today nothing big. I think most of it was becasue I drank some beer last night and beer has a tendancy to make you go.  Hopefully this picks up some as I want to see some cool stuff

Hey I'm at day 7 now and kinda going through the same thing as you. I'm bloated and nothing exciting has been happening on the pooping front. Will start my own entries about it so we can follow our progress. Cheers.

why would goign to a half scoop help?? wouldnt more fiber make me go more???

I think because your body is not used to the extra fiber. Excerpt from a google search:

"But be careful that you don't add too much fiber too fast, or you'll feel even more bloated than before. Your body needs time to get used to processing the increased bulk."

so then i steep at night and save the tea bag for morning?? will it last sitting out?? or just make two cups at night and put on in the fridge or something and warm it up? thanks

Problem with the idea of "saving" a cup of tea is that we're not supposed to microwave the tea..apparently reduces the efficieny of the senna....also....there's some serious precaustions to take wiht this tea. Senna is usually not recommended for more than 7-10 days at a time. We're already exceeding that recommendation by drinking it for 30 days straight.
There's tons of links regarding this..example:

Yes, of course, the old reheat method would certainly work. I've read that drinking any senna tea after it has cooled may reduce the cramping effect. I was very sensitive to that. I'm about to start a maintenance regimen again so I'll see if that still holds true. One to two minutes is sufficient steeping for me. Longer and stronger would cause me to wake with cramps in the night.

I can't speak for others but following the three-month program did not cause a problem of dependency on the products and no ill effects (other than some short-term detox effects while using it - headache, flu-like symptoms, bloating, etc.) for myself or my husband. It's been a year and a half. However, I will say constipation was not an issue for me, I did it for the general cleansing benefits. My husband's colon trouble alternated between constipation and diarrhea and a fullness in part of his colon. He continues to use the fiber and occasionally the tea.

Below is info from the Colonix instructions regarding the tea:

********************************************************************************

Before going to bed, steep a bag of KleriTea in a cup of hot water for 2-6 minutes. (Never use water heated in a microwave oven because this can destroy the effectiveness of the herbs in the tea.) You’ll need to fine-tune KleriTea for your body. How long you steep the tea at night can make a big difference the following morning. Some people have a strong urge in the morning just by soaking the tea for 1 or 2 minutes. Others may need 6 or even 10 minutes to achieve the same results.


KleriTea Tip

If KleriTea works for you when steeping it for only a minute or two, then there’s no need to steep it for longer. If you were regular before starting the program, you may not need to use the tea every day, only 2-3 times a week. The fiber in itself would be sufficient to move your bowels.

*******************************************************************************

So, I guess each of us will have to decide what is best suited to our body and its needs.
