Death by Cayenne Pepper

Well, I've been lurking in this forum for about 3 weeks now in preparation for my cleanse, and since I'm half way though my first day and its not going well (despite two weeks of straight psyllium, yogurt, and salads prior to today), I thought I should post both to say hello and ask some questions.

I mixed up a gallon of lemonade last night and I got my psyllium and Bentonite with me so I can do four P&B shakes while I'm at work. I've got no problem with anything but the cayenne pepper. The stuff is killing me. Not only does the addition of the pepper to the lemonade make me want to wretch every time I attempt to drink it but it makes me majorly nauseous every time I drink it for about 30 minutes. My mouth is on fire when I drink and my ass is on fire when I use the bathroom!

I added 1 teaspoon of pepper to the gallon of liquid and if I make it to tomorrow I will definitely reduce that to 1/4 of a teaspoon or eliminate it altogether or mix it into some other food.

How do you guys drink this stuff with the pepper in it? It's revolting! HELP!!! Any ideas???
