Woo hoo! Found Natural Calm - going to pick it up today. Mind if I ask a few questions about it?

For those that use it, do you follow the instructions and mix 3 teaspoons with 3-4 oz. of water and let it to its magic or do you drink more than that? Also, how long does it take to work? Also, how often do you use it?

Is it sad that I'm so happy to find something to help me? LOL

I used the directions on the bottle for my first few months of use. Let me get my bottle as I don't use it daily now..........the bottle tells you how to take it. But this is what I did: I took the 2 rounded teaspoons in 4 oz hot water and once the fizz died down I put in another 4 oz. Once DH wanted to use the "advanced usage" and was in the bathroom all day with loose BMs. It was quite unpleasant. We were definitely not up to the "advanced users" stage!!! But let me tell you, it does the trick!! And we used it daily. I quit taking it once off P2 simply because I didn't need it anymore. Adding back in the fats works good enough for me!

I will try it this evening and hopefully by morning I'll have some action. LOL

Thank you for being so vocal on the threads. You are so extremely helpful! Your opinions and advice are MUCH appreciated!

Thanks Jenifer. That is so nice to hear. If my experience can help someone out........it is my way of paying back what I have learned. These ladies are quite knowledgeable themselves!! Just wish more would chime in!!!

Aw Jenifer I'm sorry, I do think it's the #2 and you'd be suprised how much you could drop from a good "release". I lost .2 last night but i was seriously disgustingly stuffed when i went to bed. Like a load day...i'm going to take back the stupid laxative-3 pills and get natural calm...this is crap (no pun intended)

The "this is crap" part made me laugh!

I'm going tonight to get Natural Calm!

I weight mine... fill my glass with a few ounces of water, add 10 to 14g and let it fizz, then drink it down.

10g is about what I normally take, 14 to 16 if I really need to make stuff happen. But stay near a bathroom. It can be a little unpleasant, but I'm usually just glad to have things moving again.

Jenifer are you hiding?! How are you doing?

JeniferCA · 12-05-2010, 09:24 PM

I'm here, I'm here! How are YOU? How is the scale now that you're back on P2? I'm more active during the week rather than the weekends.

I'm hanging in there. Still stabilizing at 2# over my LDW which bugs me because I'd rather be maintaining 2# BELOW, but oh well. Only a few short weeks until I start P2 again.

Oh, I bought some Natural Calm today. The initial dosage is 1/2 t., but I only did 1/4 because I wasn't sure how I would react. So far ... nothing. I'll try again on Tuesday and take it earlier to see what happens with my body.
