I will do a 'Sonne's No.7' cleanse next week also, a fun thing.
It can be googled ..I did it a couple times in the 80s.
Oh, and just for background on me...gallbladder cleanses are the best!

For me the 3,4,5PM issue is no issue,,,is it for you....Now that nighttime issue is a tough one for me as too much water and too much bathroom and using a walker as I do it's hard to run to the bathroom, I run no where and have a hard time walking.....

I'm sticking with Oxy and see where it takes me...too soon to know ..

Here's my little tip to help all those who have difficulties with their bowel movements. Something which I never have and because of one good reason.

It's called 'sticking to the timetable'

Choose one time of the morning you can always use. I go at 6.30 am

Then choose a second time if the first doesn't work. For me 8.oo am

Then - using a lot of patience sit and sit - at least five minutes AND this every day until that moment comes which you can call success - then ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssstick to it.

You don't have to go every day - but stick to the timetable.

And stop eating that white bread/bun stuff .

If this works for you that is great....doesn't work in my long life, and at this late date I'm getting rid of years of waste that has built up....

And yes eliminating a lot of unnecessary foodstuffs is important and I have not brought bread in my house for over 10 yrs, don't need it....and cut way back on meats, choose wisely small amounts of meat as I do like some meats...

How about eating lots of fruits?

I eat some fruits but not lots. I enjoy a nice diet with a little bit of all that I enjoy. I like fruits, but avoid the sugars ... again I eat some but in moderation.

I like the product I'm taking but still have issues....One issue is getting plenty of water in me, the more I drink the more I'm on the toilet...a vicious cycle...decided to make my wonderful chili with at least half the meat I've been
using, the meats are hard on the colon.

Not many pleasures left in my life and good is one and it's a vicious cycle of what I have to do. Ordered some apple pectin and going to add that....can't get to the store for the few fruits I'd like to get...Kiwis are a good source I've read and just bought 4 the other day. The water is so key....read 64 oz is a good goal.

And I believe too the 4 ibuprofen I take for pain in the 24 hr timeframe is a hard one, medications are a big issue.

I've heard 8 8 oz glasses of water daily for years. I don't believe I got to that point in my life.

Just talked to a friend and she claims her feet swell when she drinks more than 32 oz water daily, and says
her colon works good.....I really wonder.

Im so sorry your still having issues Jamin!!
