I have heard that 'smooth move' herbal laxative tea works well.
If you do the b&p's just remember to start out slowly. One on the first couple of days...just to make sure you don't get constipated. If you're already constipated then you want to get your bowels moving before you start taking the b&p's. And you have to drink LOTS of water. (on top of the lemonade)
Also...if you take the b&p's there is no need to do the salt water flushes because you don't want to flush the b&p outta there before it's done it's scrubbing action thang!
