Working For Me So Far!!!

Hello! I wanted to share my story and my journey while using Colonix.  I found this forum extremely helpful in my decision to purchase and try Colonix over some of the other products on the market.  Especially those posts that continued to post daily logs of their experience and what to expect.  So, I'd like to return the favor and I hope it helps!
     Let me first start by telling you a little about my story. I am a 31yr old female and for at least the past decade or so,  I have had trouble going to the bathroom.  It has slowly gotten worse and worse, where I find myself only going once a week and often with the assistance of a laxitive.  And the very few and far between times that I did go on my own, (not to be too descriptive) it was always like hard little rocks - rabbit pellots I call it!  How frustrating - not to mention painful.  Constantly feeling heavy and sick  - ugg!  Sometimes if I fasted for a day I could produce these useless little pellots but always had to follow-up on the weekend with a laxitive.  One day, enough was enough!
   I was excited to find Colonix.  I actually saw an infomercial for another colon cleansing product that stopped me in my tracks!  Everything being described on TV was what I experience.  So, after some research I found that THAT product actually had bad reviews and Colonix had the best.  So I decided to give it a shot and bought a 2 month supply. I received my package midweek and hesitantly decided not to wait until the weekend to give it a go.  In fact - I started that night with the tea.  And you know what, to my surprise I went to the bathroom the next morning - I couldn't believe it!  It was an exciting start!

Day one:
  Received package midday and started that night with the tea.  Steeped it for 1:30 min.  mild discomfort in middle of night - no biggie.  Woke up and went to the bathroom.  In fact, I went three times that morning and that was pre-pills! Wow!  Definitely motivating!

Day two - first full day:
  As mentioned above, went a few times in the morning.  Took my 2 Paranil pills and water.  Fifteen minutes later I had my Colonix fiber powder.  Now, here is where I was unsure what to use to hide the taste.  Drank it in crystal light Fruit Punch - not too bad just gritty.  I am also dieting right now so I needed to find something that was low cal and low carb.  (on my third full day it happened!)
  Had my tea that night - steeped the tea for 2 minutes this time.  Tea doesn't taste badly and very calming.  Had it plain.

Day three:
   Again with the mild cramping in the night.  They say this is common the first week.  But worth it when I woke up and went to the bathroom 3 times again!!!  I don't know if I have ever gone two days in a row!  Amazed, I went down and did the same routine as the day before.  Didn't go any other time throughout the day but realized I was moody and felt bloated on both these full days.  Not sure if it was relative or not.  This time I steeped my tea for 3 min (found out NOT such a good idea).  Had my tea with a splash of milk and one Equal.  Fantastic!  Felt that if I went the next morning I would try this again.  I was afraid adding to the tea may mess things up.

Day Four: (3rd full day)
  Severe cramping in the middle of the night (darn 3 minute steeping!).  Woke up at 3am and up for 2 hours with cramps!  Woke up at 7am and dashed to the bathroom with the runs, not pretty!  Nothing weird in toilet yet - thank goodness, that makes me nervous to see!  Went a few times through noon - and had to run there each time.  Good thing it's a Saturday and I'm home!  Definetly going back to 1 -2 minutes tonight with the Tea.  On a better note, l lost 4 lbs since day one.  Definitely water weight and the fact that I've gone consistently every day - also dieting.  Going once a day is all I really hoped for from this product and ECSTATIC that it literally worked right away for me!  I am so happy that I've gone everyday!  I hope it leeps up! Even though I'm still feeling bloated and moody.  I think that it will subside.  Oh, and as mentioned above, today I found the product that works great with the fiber (at least in my opinion).  I would have loved to put it in a shake or OJ, but too high in carbs for me with my present diet.  I bought "V8 V-fusion Light Strawberry-Banana Juice" and it tasted great!!!  Couldn't even taste the Colonix Powder.  And 8oz only has 50 calories, 0g fat, 13g carbs - perfect.  I bought other juices, etc, to try it in over the next few days but I'm going to stick with this because it blended well and tasted great!   
    About to steep my tea (not long this time) and looking forward seeing if my streek keeps up in the morning. I hope so and I also hope it continues to happen as soon as I get up.  I 'm nervous for tomorrow though because I have to be on the golf course at 8am and a round of golf is a long time to go with no bathrooms available  (nervous after this mornings awful experience - which I take full responsibilty for).  So I think I'll steep it for 1 minute tonight and play it safe.  Wish me luck!

Re: Working For Me So Far!!!

Day Four - fourth full day - 5/11/08
  OK let me first start by explaining why you are seeing 2 day fours.  When I got the package originally,  I started  with the tea at night and labelled that day 1 - when in fact the next day was my first full day taking everything.  So, I figured I shoud change it now before I confuse anyone more than I may of.  So, I steeped my tea last night  for a minute and 30sec because I was afraid.  I didn't sleep much through the night and got up extremely early this morning.  I thought that I wasn't going to be able to go before I left the house at 7:30am because I didn't feel any cramping etc.  But, to my pleasure I did go!  First only a little, then a decent amount.  I realized that no matter what time I awake, I seem to be going around 7am each morning. Perhaps because I have my tea between 9:30 and 10pm each night.  I was fine on the golf course, although I had a crappy game (pun completely intended).  I ate poorly all day - with it being mothers day and all, and with us hitting the 19th hole.  My stomach was very upset at night - but I think it is because I have been dieting and I ate all kinds of fried foods throught out the day.  My stomach was so upset that I couldn't drink my tea.  I really am afraid that not drinking the tea will break my "Going everyday" streek.



Day 5 -- 5/12/08
   it is currently the am of day 5 and to my surprise I went a little this morning even though I didn't have my tea last night.  Not really anything significant.  I didn't drink all my water yesterday either - unless if BlueMoons now count =0)
  I sadly report that I have gained 3 lbs back overnight - Booooo!  But like I said I ate and drank badly yesterday.

Re: Working For Me So Far!!!

Welcome to the forum! And what great posts!

I know that tea can really give terrible cramps. It still amazes me when people say they steep it ten to fifteen minutes! I think I'd die! I had a few of those terrible cramps in the night when we did the program. I'm finishing up a maintenance month and a half but haven't been using the tea as much as our initial three month cleanse.

Wish you well and hang in there...often ups and downs!  smile

Re: Working For Me So Far!!!

Day 6 - May 13th
   started taking four pills today - fun, fun - not bad though.  Steeped my tea 2 minutes last night. able to go again this morning! Still amazed going everyday!  Nothing new to report - just cruising along.  Had to up steeping time today as per instructions.  Hesitantly upped it to 4 minutes.  2 seems to be working ok for me so I'm a little nervous at the outcome.  still drinking tea with one Equal and splash of milk - seems to still work fine.


Day 7 - May 14th
    Woke up at 5 am with some cramping.  Was worried because I doubled my steeping time last night as per instructions.  Woke up at 7am with urge to go.  To my amazement I went ALOT.  Nothing messy- just easy and soft- but alot!  I was surprised because I was so busy yesterday that I ate some turkey for lunch and veggies for dinner - and I don't think I drank all of my water.  I'm soooo happy with this product!  I've gone EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! I have - well - never done that before!  Fantastic!   Oh, although the V-8 strawberry banana juice (mentioned above) that I've been using with the Colonix Powder is wonderful, I decided to switch it up today.  I blended (in blender) 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 banana, 1 equal for sweetening, and the fiber powder.  Tasted really good and felt like I was having a treat for breakfast!  Could taste the powder a little - I think when I do that again I will use a whole banana and a little less milk because it wound up producing 1 1/2 cups after blended.
       10pm - I just wanted to report for the first time since I began using Colonix I actually went twice in one day!!!   Crazy that I can get this excited over something like that, huh?  Hope this keeps up.  Steeping tea tonight for another 4 minutes.



Tips so far:
  Colonix Powder - 1.  mix into a cup of the V-8 Strawberry Banana Juice (light or regular) can't even taste it or 2. blend in blender with milk, banana, and equal - tastes great
 
Tea - add splash of milk and equal to sweeten it up - tastes really good

Water - I have a tough time drinking all that water throughout the day.  I've been using it with either the crystal light or 4-C "on the go" packets that you just mix into the bottle.  doesn't add calories, carbs, or fat.  Doesn't seem to change my results at all either smile

Re: Working For Me So Far!!!

Don't feel bad if you have to back off on how long you steep the tea. If cramping becomes a problem I'd stick to two minutes.

Glad you're getting such good results so far!! smile
