Re: New guy: started Bp/psyll shake 3 days ago want advise

Hi Daermo!

With the b&p you're not going to get 3 bm's a day. I mean, you might, but that's not your goal. Schulte's product has herbal laxatives in it so it'll make you go. The b&p doesn't have the herbal laxatives in it, so unless your bowel is super healthy to begin with and you usually have 3 bm's a day, you're not going to on the b&p's...and that's fine! I usually had one good one a day. Although when I started drinking a litre of warm water first thing in the morning over about 2 hours, I actually had TWO bm's a day. Wow. That was kind of shocking!

Anyway, you're taking less than 1tbsp of each per drink, right? So, there's no way you're taking too much. It's good that you've been cautious. Why didn't you take your b&p today...it sounds like you had a bm...even if it was more chunky, right? Sure it wasn't ropy? (don't have to wipe much when you're on the b&p's! bonus! ha. yes we're gross here...)

I think all the rumblings and the gas just mean that stuff is really happening in there! It's working!! You know...it's probably rehydrating some of that clinging mucoid plaque and the old mucoid plaque is maybe emiting gasses and toxins as it's being pulled from it's home...noooooo! That's what I'm picturing. (good imagination eh? ha.) It's good there are rumblings! (maybe it was something you ate, but maybe not)

Keep taking the b&p...you're up to 3 a day which is great. Just cut back on the b&p's if you feel a hard, bloated, constipated stomach.

Also...water. So...you're drinking half your weight in ounces in water BESIDES the b&p water and chaser afterwards, right? Because that's what you should be drinking. If your 'chunky' poo this morning wansn't mucoid plaque rope, then it's indicating that you need more water.

Starting with the warm water is great.

I think you're doing superwell! I can feel that you're going to pass some fantastic mucoid plaque...I know it!

Do let us know...I LIKE the graphic details!
