Hi Bob and everyone,I am using IF#1 for almost 2 months ,My daily dose is 15 capsules a day ,after a month of using IF#1 I did one round of IF#2,but I still have only one bowel moovement a day at the morning ,during the day I feel bloaty and gasy ,when I feel the urge going to the bathroom all I can get out is gas.During the time when I used the IF#2 I passed out one time a mucus it was like a rubber.I feel and I know that I am contstipated and plugged big time,I just worry about geting dependent on the IF#1 because it is a lexative,so should I continue taking the IF#1 and increasing it by 1 capsule a day or maybe should I try other colon cleansing like colonix or something else.I am planing on doing another round of IF#2 starting this monday and I will see what kind of results this will bring.Latelly I was reading book of dr Jensen's "Guide to better bowel care" and he mentioned that longer use of laxatives might cause dependency and the colon will stop working on it's own.Second thing he was writing about toxemia and autointoxification which can cause a lot of different dieseses,I am just wondering if this might be in My case :anxiety,depression,chronic stress,fatigue elevated cortisol and DHEA levels?I will be very greatfull for any advice.thank you very much.
