Long day of shopping. It’s late, and I’m pretty tired. Today wasn’t a great day for my colon either. I had a nice sized Bowel Movement this morning, but it was really hard to pass. I strained pretty hard too. I was in there for about 15 minutes, pushing. But, not much came out, not as much as I was expecting. I must admit, colon cleansing isn’t as beneficial as I thought it was going to be. I was under the impression that I would be feeling 10 times better within a week or so. Here I am 5 days into my colon cleansing program, and I am worse off healthwise, then I was before I started.
Oh, and in case you are wondering. I had a headache ALL day. Yesterday the headache was there, but not as bad as it had been. Today, it was the worse I’ve experienced. I was at the mall and I had to sit down and take a break from walking, because it was so bad. The good news is that I’m not the only one that experiences’ headaches. If you Google Colonix Headache, I found this Colon Cleansing Forum and there are a few posts from people who are also experiencing headaches from Colonix. At least I know I’m not alone in my colon cleansing misery.
Here’s What I Ate Today:
9:30am - One cup of Coffee
9:45am - One cup of Coffee
10:10am - One cup of Coffee
10:30am - One Yoplait Yogurt, Lemon Creme Pie. Plus 5 organic apple wedges

Ok, so last night it stormed here. Which I love sleeping when it’s raining. It felt good. I ended up sleeping for an extra two hours. Steeping the tea for 10 minutes last nite worked much better for me. I was up for about an hour, and drank three cups of coffee, when I had a nice sized BM. It wasn’t as large as I was expecting, but it was something. I must say, I am very confused. I thought that colon cleansing consisted of going more, not less. I guess I didn’t do enough research….
I need to go get some shopping done. I’ll update more later.

So, I made a little progress today. I went a little this morning, which felt good. I did a few things different. I steeped the tea for longer last nite and I drank alot of coffee this morning, which always seems to work for me. I was wired all morning at work, but that’s ok, because i had a lot of work to do. Other than that one this morning, nothing else has happened. I ran to the bathroom many times, thinking it was going to happen, but just wasted my time.
I didn’t eat very much today. I went to Subway and got a turkey sandwich, but I didn’t eat very much of it. I drank alot of water and snacked on a few things throughout the day. Dinner was good, but I just love Mexican food, I could eat it all the time. Usually, after eating the beans, I have to go. It’s my old form of colon cleansing.
I had a headache again today. It didn’t seem as bad as yesterday’s, but it was still bothersome. I guess I’m just used to them now. Life must go on. I have to work. I have to live. If I want to do any of that, I need to find a way to cope. The only thing I have that helps is the belief that it’s going to go away soon. My lower back hurt a little today. I think it’s from some cramps i had in my stomach. Its feeling better now, because I had a restful nite. I’m going to bed, because I have to be up in about 6 hours and this whole process starts over again….
What I Had Today:
6:30am - One cup of coffee
6:35am - One cup of coffee
6:45am - One cup of coffee
7:30am - One 16oz. glass of water and one Yoplait Yogurt, Lemon Burst
8:30am - Half scoop of Colonix, mixed with 8oz water, immediately followed by another 8 oz water, mixed with leftover Colonix mix.
10am - Four organic apple wedge’s
11:15am - 9oz cup of water
12:35pm - 9oz cup of water
1:30pm - Subway Turkey Sandwich with lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, mustard, mayo & pepperjack cheese, 12oz Tea
3:30pm - 9oz cup of water, 8 organic baby carrots
4:05pm - 9oz cup of water
5:15pm - 9oz cup of water
7:30pm - Chicken Fajitas, rice & beans, Glass of Iced Tea
8:20pm - Ice Cream Cone
9:40pm - 9oz cup of water, 5 organic baby carrots
10:30pm - KleriTea.

Today has been a pretty busy day for me here at work. I’ve been running all over the place trying to get everything taken care of. Today is not the day for me to go to the bathroom every thirty minutes to squeeze one out. Although I have tried a couple of times.
I’ll update more later, when I have a chance to sit down and actually write something. I will say this. So far, I’m not very pleased with my colon cleansing experience thus far.

This morning I had a little relief. I didn’t have an urge to go this morning, so I decided to try drinking alot of coffee, maybe that would wake up my bowels. I drank two cups of coffee as fast as I could. I think it may have worked, because I was on my third cup when I felt the urge to go. I didn’t have that large of a movement, but I had one. That’s the important thing.
I was starting to get cramps in my stomach. I’ve never been constipated before, or at least not to that point. So, if I don’t go today, then I’m going to steep the tea for even longer tonite, and drink a bunch of coffee in the morning.

So, it’s a little after 7pm here and I am just feeling wiped out. I left work early because I wasn’t feeling good, and now, a few hours later, I’m not feeling that much better. I finally forced myself out of bed, just to get something in my stomach.
I ate an enchilada and a couple of tacos for lunch. They were delicious. Usually, mexican food runs right thourgh me, but not today. I still haven’t had any sort of bowel movement since I started the colonix. I’m really concerned. Other than the little one that I managed to get out earlier today, I haven’t had any other kind of activity down there. Three days worth of food is inside of me. Just sitting there, probably rotting at this point. If I don’t have a movement by the time I go to bed tonite, I’m gonna go get some sort of a laxative or something. Because this can’t be good. I’ve gained about 6lbs in the last three days. I’m sure it’s from the food that hasn’t been expelled.
For sure, I’m going to steep the tea for at least 5 minutes tonite. Because the recommended 2 minutes didn’t work too well for me. Ok, my head hurts and this screen is freakn’ bright. I’m going to go lay down and watch the Office…

ok. This headache has reached a new level. I can’t take it anymore, so I’m going home where I can lay down in my bed and rest.
I recieved a few responses from the forum posts I put up. Mainly people were just saying that I wasn’t drinking enough water. Drink More! Drink More! A few people also told me the headaches could be caused by “detox symptoms”. ALOT of people said they experienced severe headaches the first week or so. No one seemed to offer any sort of way to releive the headache though.
Not exactly sure what Detox Symptoms mean, but apparently it’s pretty bad, because I found this Colonix Forum, where multiple people are complaining of headaches and various other things. Now I’m starting to get worried, because in this forum they have been experiencing headaches well into their third week, and they ended up quitting because of it.
I’m really starting to second guess my decision to try this stuff.

Damnit! It’s back.Sure enough, about 45 minutes after drinking the Colonix fiber mix, the headache came back. Why is this happening? Why does Colonix do this to you??? Someone better answer my forum posts, so that I can figure out a way to kill these headaches once and for all.
Once again, I am back in my office, with the lights turned off. I do have a bit of good news to relate. When I got to work, I managed to squeeze out a little nugget. It was small and round with little surface cracks in it. I’ve been working on that little guy for a couple of days now. I thought I was gonna die when it came out. I thought I was giving birth to a small child or something. Man did it hurt.
…..i’ll update later, gotta get to work…..

I just drank the colonix mix this morning. My headache is either gone or I am just used to it and don’t even realize that it’s still there. We’ll see if it comes back.
Still no bowel movements this morning. Two days in a row that I missed my usual time I go. If I really hope I have one today, because i’m starting to get cramps. Last nite I woke up around 4am, and thought I had to go. So I got up and ran to the bathroom, and proceeded to sit there for about 10 minutes. Nothing.
I understand that Colonix uses psyllium fiber to bulk up my poo, but shouldn’t my poo still continue to come out? Why has it ceased? I don’t understand…
Here’s the Colonix Mix I drank this morning:
