Try using less greens, make sure they are mild sweet ones, like romaine, spinach or collards. I have also used swiss chard.<br/>You may need a squirt of agave or more stevia.. not too much though!<br/>Good smoothie making to you!<br/>deb Hi Barbara

I even added apple for starters! It came out great, but I was really disappointed that I couldn't get used to the taste. Hopefully it is something that will grow on me.

I would reccommend a mini fast, say make the appt in the evening or first thing in the morning after you have had only liquids for 4-8 hours. Also, if you tend to be constipated you may have more trouble at first. If it hurts, tell your therapist so she can slow down and give you a break.. it will feel like you have to "go" but usually you will it just takes some getting used to .<br/>Giving yourself an enema 8 hours before may be a good idea too.<br/>What you don't want is too much 'stuff" sitting there or in your tummy. Think of how you like to feel before running or doing yoga, light and empty.<br/><br/>I have had both things, once I was fine, just minor cramping, another time, I had major cramping and ended up running to the bathroom. That time I was constipated for a few days before so I had to much to "release" if you will.<br/>Hope this helps you all,<br/>deb<br/>PS on the "other end" of things, with my collard leaves, I put avocado, then sprouts, shredded carrots, any salad mix, dressing, etc..just like you would a veggie sandwich.. make a wrap or a taco. Good quetions Sundari!

What you don’t want is too much ‘stuff” sitting there or in your tummy. Think of how you like to feel before running or doing yoga, light and empty.

I have had both things, once I was fine, just minor cramping, another time, I had major cramping and ended up running to the bathroom. That time I was constipated for a few days before so I had to much to “release” if you will.
Hope this helps you all,

If I'm not "dropping the kids at the pool" (giggle) by this afternoon I'm shopping for the oxy-powder, etc. I'm going to Trader Joe's today anyway! I am also going to, gulp, check out the colonic directory for the post April fast. Justme- thanks!
