Re: Not going-What's wrong? (Stacey - Lemon Water???)

[Guest guest]

Oh, how I wish this worked for me. I juice half a lemon in water and drink it

most mornings when I first wake up (right after I use the restroom) and it

doesn't help at all. I actually started it as a sort of liver cleanse. Does it

matter if the drink is warm or not. My lemons and water are both room temp.

Would warm be better?

I usually heat up my water a little bit so it's warm, then add the lemon juice. I don't like to heat up the lemon with it because I figure since it's raw, I might as well keep it that was.

It was my MIL who told me she and most of her geriatric friends used this

and it helped most of them. Yes, warm water. Very warm!

It might take longer to work if it's cold but I really couldn't say for sure. I

do it slightly warm but I should try to find that cleanse book I guess. Have

you tried a combo of prune and pear juice? Vince corrected me today in that the

lemon water is for cleansing, not necessarily erm...getting things moving, as it

were. Are you eating cheese at all? Because cheese definitely causes C in me

(which, given that I have UC might not be a bad thing).

I do eat cheese but not a huge amount. When I have C, I don't eat more or less

cheese than when I'm regular. I do try to cut back a little though. Yesterday, I

maybe had 1 TBS of blue. Prune juice has not been super effective for me

either.... that's why I just eat prunes now... they are as effective as the

juice for me. I've never tried pears.

Thanks!!!
