I did the Colonix but took the Paranil as well, but only took the tea like 3 times b/c I didn't need it either.  As far as the your water issue is concerned, I suggest chugging it in the morning after you chug your fiber, and you'll be half done and can space the rest out over the day.  If you buy like, a case of water in bottles, they are about 16 oz per bottle.  That's only about 4 bottles per day.  That made it not seem as much to me anyhow.  Good luck.

Shoot - I was hoping the tea would have been okay.  It's funny that I can drink tea all day long, but not the water.  Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow.  So far, I haven't noticed anything at all, but I'll keep plugging along.  Today was my first day of four pills and a full scoop.  So I'm guessing the water may make a difference.  I actually thought about the water bottles, but my town doesn't recycle plastic and I just can't throw all that away.  I read a great suggestion some time ago that I think I'll try.  During a normal 8 hour workday, set your watch (or whatever) alarm to ring every hour.  Then drink just one cup of water.  This would work for this program since two cups are already in with the morning routine.

Well, maybe it's just water weight! Some people have bloating and other troubles the first couple of weeks. That's why a month sometimes isn't long enough for the first time. (We did three months.)

I don't know if you have tried the tea yet but it is designed to work synergistically with the other products. I'm 'regular' as well but the tea does enhance the elimination process. I'm currently doing a month maintenance round but have noticed the tea has given me diarhhea so I stopped for a few nights and will try again tonight. (I've just recently recovered from two bouts of the flu so I don't know if that has affected how I've reacted). I only steep it for a couple of minutes to keep me from getting stomach cramps in the night. Some people can steep it for ten minutes and have no reaction and others are far more sensitive.

Hang in there!
