The KEY to success with the Schultz cleanse is keeping the bowels moving. And the key to keeping the bowels moving is taking enough #1. Despite drinking enough water and eating/drinking the best of food, if you don't take enough #1, everything will get backed up because of the tremendous toxic sludge that is trying to be eliminated. Reread the directions for the Bowel Cleanse, paying special attention to the instructions re getting your bowels moving before you even start the cleanse (by taking increasingly more #1 until you are going regularly 2-3 times a day). That becomes "your dose". If I remember correctly, once you officially start the cleanse, you increase "your dose" by 1 or 2 capsules (or more if that's what it takes to keep going several times a day). Give it another shot.
