Started day 1 yesterday, was awoken at 3:30am to take a dookie already. And that was with only one serving of the psyllium husk in the morning and one senna capsule. I couldn't find the herbal tabs anywhere, will be buying them online today.

I think it is time for me to do a cycle. Seems like I have been eating alot and not alot has been coming out. I just went and bought the husks, some senna tablets and activated charcoal for $24. I have some super cleanse from Vitamin Shoppe that I will use as well.

Side note...... has anyone every drank barley? I had a friend who drank this mess......it was a mess to. Like drink wet grass cut up fine after mowing it. I forget why she drank it but the ironic thing is she passed away from cancer at the age of 42. I wondered if barley is used as a colon cleanser?

Best way to drink the husks?

I have drank the husks twice now. Using water and then mixing some v8 splash in it as I go. Althought there isn't much taste to it it is still rough getting it down.

What is the best way to down it? Just drank as fast as you can? I may mix it with soy milk and see what happens.

I use the stir, drink as much as I can without choking, add more water, stir again, drink as much as I can without choking method. Lather, rinse and repeat.

Since I have been using the whole psyilluim husks , along with the rest of the supplements. I have gone from barelhy 1 bowel movement aday to about 3 movements. I do not feel as backed up as I used to . The only hard part of this whole thing for me is getting the husks down, I did tblespoons the first couple of days but it seemed like it took me forever to get it all down so I back it to a teaspoon and figured I would work my way back up the ladder. Still seems like it takes forever.

One thing that concerns me, I am taking the activated charcoal and yet I still get gasy. This happens usually after I have found myself eating bread and also before a movement comes. I thought this was to take away the gas?

I thought about getting some psyillium pills to overcome the amount of time it takes to down the husks BUT it is probably better to down the husks.

I would also think that if you take vitamins you should take them at least 30 minutes after downing the colon supps? So they do not get washed away?

Since I have been on this colon cleanse, about 10 days I think. I have been having about 3 bowel movements a day. What I notice with it is that I can feel it coming and when I have to go to the bathroom I do not strain. The funny thing is most of the time it comes out like a snake or in the form of the intestines. Not too wide in circumference but long. I feel like my stomach area, belly button area are starting to get smaller. I notice this because of my work pance. I have gained probably a solid inch in my belt.
I still get gasey though. Could it be from beans? I usuallly eat a half pound of ground turkey along with a half can of kidney beans for my break at work. I put some ketchup on it to give it some flavor. I also drain the juice from it before putting it in a rubbermaid dish.


one last thing, I heard a radio show today about natural supplements and the host said colon cleansers are a joke and we were not meant to go to the bathroom multiple times a day. Tell that to a baby lol. Anyway, I email them asking them to explain this whole thing to me and then gave them my simply testimony of what my colon cleanse is doing to me right now.

Just wanted to share

Hey guys, I posted in Feb that I was getting the stuff for the flush but never ended up doing it. Well I have experienced alot of gas lately and overall tired feeling and figured I'd give it a shot. I get the stuff today and will start the first dose tonight! I'm really excited to see what i have backed up in there haha. And just to clarify for myself, can I take the pills with breakfast in the morning? Its not a shake, just some eggs and oats.

looking to start this tonight, but the closest thing to me is a walgreens and it looks like this is all they carry.

Would this work?

the ingredients were way at the bottom, not sure if you missed them or not.

"Gelatin , Cascara Sagrada Bark , Senna Herb , Aloe Vera Leaf , Buckthorn Bark , Licorice Root , Psyllium Husk , Psyllium Seed , Rhubarb Root , Alfalfa Leaf , Calamus Root , Barberry Root Bark , Black Walnut Leaf , Butternut Bark , Dandelion Root , Flax Seed Meal , Gentian Root , Marshmallow Root , Plantain Leaves , Prunes , Red Clover Tops , Sage Brush Leaf , Slippery Elm Bark , Blue Flag Root , Blue Vervain Herb , Calendula Flowers , Chamomile Flowers , Chicory Herb , Clove Bud , Fennel Seed , Ginger Root , Red Raspberry Leaves , Yucca Herb , Wahoo Herb"

Did you see that on the page? if you did, then don't pay attention to this post and I will go try to find something elsewhere.

EDIT: I forgot, there is also a GNC by me. Not sure what they ahve though.

I already had the Psyllium Husk powder, and I went out and got activated charcoal today because my girlfriend had an upset stomach and wanted to give it a try.

So i was sitting around and figured, fuck it, all I need is the multi-herb and I'm good to go for the flush.

I'll order the multi-herb from VS because GNC didn't have anything. Thanks for the time Heckman.

So I am a couple days in now. One thing i noticed right away was my gas has been reduced, but returns mid day. I havent had any monsters yet but all solid and mostly floaters which is strange to see. I know when im done and am starting to get better with the bloating i have been experiencing as of late.

That right there is what you want...when you stand up and turn around and look down, those bad boys should be bobbing and floating in the bowl....

So I think i OD'd on the fiber about a week or so ago because man I couldnt get anything out except for a good one in the morning and maybe another later on but with a total discomfort in my stomach for the whole day! I backed off and normalized and picked up back at just a slightly heaping teaspoon. I also think i am a hard-to-poop because im only really getting a good one in the morning and one decent one later on but thats it and i am at 7 herbal pills as of this morning and did 6 for the last week or so. Overall i feel much better and have lost the big belly look that i had going on.

Just got back from Vitamin Shoppe, and I thought I would let you guys know that this one: http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/e...jsp?id=SD-1013
Has changed names - it is no longer called "Multi-Herb", but it is now called "Cleansing Blend with Herbs" with a little mention that it is "Formerly Multi-Herb".

Have a birthday dinner tomorrow - so I will start this when I get home from that.

I am about to go to the vit. shoppe and pick this all up!

I noticed the multi herb doesnt contain Senna..does that matter with this lineup?

Now is there any types of supps I should avoid while on this? Should I be taking extra fiber supps to get 25-30g a day--or does it matter?
