I have been on a diet for the last 6 weeks and everytime I diet, I get constipated. I have to take laxatives twice a week just to have a bowel movement. A friend told me I needed to do a colon cleanse. I just purchased Ever Cleanse yesterday from my local pharmacy. It is a 3 step program and I just started the 1st step yesterday. Step 1 (cleansing) consists of drinking a powder mixed with 4 oz of water every day for 10 days. I drank the mixture yesterday and today and so far nothing has happened. The directions dont tell you to eat differently or any thing. Has anyone else tried Ever Cleanse?

Day 3 of my EverCleanse colon cleanse and still no bowel movement. I am slightly bloated and have mild gas but nothing that is uncomfortable. I've been trying to drink pleanty of water, atleast 4 bottles a day (16.9 oz). I'll write again tomorrow.

Day 4 - I am mixing the powder in a half cup of warm tea and it disolves fine. Has no taste at all. Still no bowel movement but I have lost about a pound. I'm eating more raw fruit and veg's hoping it will help to speed along the process. I have about the same amount of bloating and gas as yesterday, but I have noticed some increased noise coming from my abdomen area so hopefully that is a good sign. No stomach ache at all. I'll write more tomorrow!

Day 5 - Today I tried mixing the powder in a cup of black coffee because several of my family members have told me that drinking coffee in the morning makes them have a bowel movement. But so far it hasn't worked for me. I have not had 1 single bowel movement in over 5 days. I am eating tons of raw fruits and veg's everyday and drinking 4 to 5 bottles of water. But the weird thing is that the scale keeps showing a weight loss. I really don't understand this. Today I have had some mild stomach cramps and I hope that a bowel movement will be coming soon. I have 5 more days of taking the power mixture before I start the 2nd step (replinishing the good bacteria). I'll write again tomorrow.

Day 6 - Finally things are beginning to work. So far today I have had 3 small bowel movements. I was starting to get depressed so I am very glad it's starting to work. I have not had any bad stomach pains, just the normal urge to go. I have 4 more days left in the "Cleansing" step and hopefully the bowel movements will continue and increase in volume. I'll write again tomorrow.
As of 8:30pm I had a total of 5 BM's. The first 4 were small in size and the last one was quite a good size. I felt so much better after!

Day 8 - I was really tired this morning and slept in. After I drank my mixture and had breakfast my energy level picked up and I felt great all day. I kept looking for things to do. No BM's all day until 8pm tonight, but it was a good one. I really felt like I had emptied my bowels. It was a great feeling!! I look forward to tomorrow!!! P.S. All my BM's so far have looked normal, none of the weird looking stuff so far.

Day's 9 and 10 (cleansing Stage) - Well I finished the cleansing stage yesterday. I had such high hopes after the 5 BM's on Day 6, but not much has really happened. Not like they say in the advertisement. Here is a recap of my cleansing stage.
Days 1 thru 5 - NO BM's
Day 6 - 5 BM's
Day 7 - 1 BM
Day 8 - 1 BM
Day 9 and 10 - NO BM's
Stage 2 is the replenishment stage. We will see how that goes.

Day 1 and 2 of stage 2 (Replenish) - The replenishment stage consists of taking 1 pill each morning for 10 days to replace the good bacteria in your intestines. On day one I had a good size BM in the afternoon. Day 2, so far nothing has happened. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Days 3,4 & 5 of stage 2 (Replinish) - Not much is happening. The last BM I had was on Day 1 of stage 2. I'm still losing weight, so that is good. I only have minor bloating and occasional gas, but nothing too bad. I'll write more later, especially if something happens.
