I really need to find out what you guys are doing.I started this program last monday so a week tomorrow and haven't weighed myself for the last few days.I am taking 2 as and 1 cc before brekky and the same before dinner.Friday night I woke up with the worst tummy pains and have had them since and also haven't had much success with going to the toilet.I am drinking plenty of water and also have drank 2 lots of benefiber each day for the past 2 days but to not much help though.
Do I up the colon cleanse? the only reason I haven't is the bottle says maximum of 2 per day,are there side effects to more?I just want to get rid of the cramps and the bloating,I rekon I will lose 2 kilos on the toilet when I finally get to go..lol.I thought colon cleasnse would give you a good clean out not do the reverse!!!
Some people have had that problem too, dome increased the cc dose nothing bad happens, and others stopped taking it, I guess it's up to you which one you try first. Good luck let us know how you go.

Hi Tracey, Welcome to the forum. I had the same problem that you have now. All I did was take plenty of movicol and I took 2 a/s and 2 cc in the morning and 2 a/c and 2 cc at night. I wouldn't recommend staying on 4 cc a day for long tho, it did help me.
So try movicol, cc, drink plenty of water and excerise, then see how you go. I am now back to 2 cc a day. so as Dinkidi said try either one and see how it goes.

@ tracy: your body may be adjusting to the effects. the maximum cc you can take is 2 per day. but not sure what bad effects (if there is any) it will have if you increase your dosage. are you eating foods rich in fiber? that will surely help.
oh and by the way, i hope you weighed yourself before you started the pills?
Thanks Dinkidi,Dana and Marga for your helpful advice so will try taking the 4 cc for a few days to see how I go.
Dana I have been drinking benefiber,is movicol something similar?
And yes Marga I did weigh myself the morning I started and weigh in is tomorrow morning so we will see how I go.
Thanks again for your help and support,will keep you posted on my progress. Tracy
Yes it is, go to the chemist and they can help you. If you are going to increase the CC just go to 3 a day but don't do it for long as marga said you can overdose on it and thats the main reason why I dropped back to 2 a day. Have a chat with the pharmacist about it.
I would suggest stopping the cc for a day or two and see if that helps...I don't think increasing the dose is a good idea if it is causing stomach aches.
