I took FCLO and lived to tell about it!

[Guest guest]

I finally bucked up and took my FCLO today! Well, only after my mom

tried it first =) It wasn't so bad though! Here's what I did to make

it much easier, in case it helps another person on here:: ( I think

this method only works with the gel kind, since it's more of a solid)

*Best to take in the middle of a meal*

1. Put the FCLO on the tip of a spoon.

2. Have a big glass of water handy.

3. Using the tip of your tongue and NOT breathing through your nose,

lick the FCLO into your mouth.

4. Take a big gulp of water, and the blob of FCLO just goes down like

a pill!

5. Now just try to stand the horrible fishy aftertaste until you get

in another bite of the meal you were eating.

I didn't taste it at all when it was going down, or in my mouth. Just

a tiny bit afterwards until I continued eating my squash pancakes.

Peace =)

Alyssa,

We must have started it at the same time because today is day #2 on FCLO for

me!!

Didn't you use the squirt-y thing (I guess we could call it a syringe!) that

came with? It shoots it into the back of your throat, and it really helps.

I like the other suggestions. I'm thinking of loading it into gelatin capsules,

also.

It shoots it into the back of your throat, and it really helps.Mine didn't come with that, since it's not the liquid, it's the gel. It looks, well, like orange marmalade or something.
