Little by little! > > Candace ======================================== Hi Candace, Sea salt is salt that has not been refined, hopefully. They say celtic grey is the best but I notice that everyone seems to be gravitating towards the Himalayan salt now. Hmmmm..... regular salt is usually processed and heated beyond all recognition. Best to stay away from regular table salt. Considering you are plugged up I wouldn't use any IC#2. Use psyllium by itself in sufficient water. As for the IC#1 I strongly suggest you take it 3 times per day 1/2 hour before meals. You should cut down so you don't have diarrhea though. You don't want diarrhea but you do want to have a bowel movement after every meal. If you don't do breakfast then do 1/2 hour before lunch and 1/2 hour before supper and right before you go to bed. The purpose is to keep you regular, slowly dissolving the dried caked on fecal material and feeding and toning you intestinal muscles back up to where they can work on their own without any help. I only suggest using an enema if you are having regular bowel movements. Otherwise, it can be pointless or worse painful. Eventually your bowels will get evened out and you won't be running to the toilet every time you turn around. Then do the cleanse. Do it and stick with it. You might need to use the IC#1 more than once a day though and I would have no problem with changing that. NO cleanse is carved in stone. They are just guidelines.

Loose and soft or very hard and firm? Is it painful to have the BM or easy and painless? I realize it isn't much fun having to get up and go when you need to get up and go but it can't be much fun being constipated for weeks on end either. So then go back onto your IC#1 and take however much you need to take to get you moving and stick with it, as long as it doesn't produce diarrhea. It will take as much as it takes to keep you moving whether it be 10, 20, 30 or 40 or more. You need to find that amount and stick to it until you have thoroughly cleansed your body and are eating lots of fresh fruits and green leafy veggies. Try to stay away from the starchy veggies, breads, pastas and anything else that will constipate you. -- Peace, love and light, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Wouldn't Dr. 's Lower Bowel Formula be better for her than IC#1? I know that they are similar...but I have been doing some thinking on these two formulas...and think that Dr. 's Lower Bowel Formula might be better in this instance...than the Intestinal Cleanse formulas...am I wrong in my thinking?

Thanks. ly, either way will work.. The problem that I am seeing is her reluctance to take it more than once per day. I can understand this. It is possible that Dr. 's formula might work better as it is more gentle in its action and might be a lot less intrusive on her sleep. No you are not wrong in your thinking. I have used 's formula myself and I know how it works. I also know how IC#1 works too. The lower bowel formula has more of a laxative effect where the IC#1 is more likely to act as a purgative. Now it will all depend on what she has or has access to. -- Peace, love and light, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

What else are you eating that may be contributing to this condition and/or drinking? You really need to drink lots and lots of water. This is one of the major key points in preventing constipation. Not juices, not teas, but plain everyday water and yes, add some lemon to it. Maybe you should obtain the herbs to make Dr. 's LBF as Caroline mentioned. It will be easier on your body and you really should be taking this 3 times a day. I really think your body needs that extra. I agree 20 years is a long time but if you stick to mostly raw you won't have much problem once you get your bowels working again. -- Peace, love and light, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Since next week is the start of my cleanse, I'm going to take it 3 times per day like you said and phooey on getting sleep! I want to do the cleanse but know eveything has to be able to make its way OUT so I need to do something NOW. Once I got that big clog out of the way last night and this morning, I've already gone twice today and it's only 1 p.m.! So maybe I won't be taking it 3 times daily for long.

Using Epsom salts and MofM or any other unnatural forms of bowel loosening devices can create real problems if you are severly impacted or even if you aren't. Best is to always use a natural gentle herb based one or food based one as in prunes. Yep, the cheese gets me everytime to which is why I have totally given it up along with any other dairy. -- Peace, love and light, Don " Quai " Eitner " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
