1st timer totally DISGUSTED (and thrilled)!

I purchased psyllium locally last Friday and was waiting for my Bentonite (purchased online) to arrive in order to try my first P&B cleanse. Being that I was a bit constipated anyway, I started on the psyllium alone (1 tbsp mixed with water) Sat, Sun, and Mon. I also drank over a gallon of water daily. Despite this, yesterday made 4 days without a BM..and I was becoming alarmed. I walked for two miles yesterday and followed up with stomach massage (had no idea how to, but I was getting desperate). Still, nothing.

At about 3:30am this morning I was awakened by an intestinal cacophony! It was painless, crampless, with no urge "to go" but, it WAS as loud and busy as Willy Wonka's Oompa Loompa machine! This continued until I fell back to sleep and was still going stong when I awoke.

Thank goodness I was home when the "urge" hit, at about 11am. Much to my amazment, disgust, and delight, the first thing I passed was a full foot or more of rope (you WILL know it when you see it fellow newbys!) Since then I have been alternately passing both stool and rope...and thanking Heaven I have tomorrow off as well.
