I was doing research in the archives and came across several posts about adding B&P shakes to get the mucoid plaque out. When did you start to see the mucoid plaque start to be passed? I am on day 5 and haven't seen any change except clear to yellow movements...that's why I was wondering.
By the way, thank you for responding...I do appreciate it.

I would avoid anything carbonated or with any possible artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners.

Is the potassium an added ingredient, or is it in the tea because it is a part of an ingredient, like lemon?

This is my personal approach to MC:

Keep it simple. Trust the lemonade. You don't need "treats". Sometimes these extra things can simply add to discomfort. Go through the process. Observe your 'cravings' without acting on them. Find out what is real. See what happens when you deny yourself the instant gratification, and reach beyond the desire. Step up to this cleanse experience, because you owe it to yourself to train your body and your mind to work together for health.

Aspertame (Nutrasweet, Equal, etc) is very toxic to the body:

And anything carbonated robs your body of minerals and causes the body to become acidic.

I would stick to the lemonade, water and herbal teas.
