Holy crap.
As I type this I swear I can hear the faint hum of "Ode to Joy" coming from the loo. I am so pleased with this product, I will bestow upon it a few minutes of my life to write an endearing review. Be forewarned, not for the faint of heart.
Prologue: I've always had a hard time having regular bowel movements - emphasis on the "hard." My bowel movements would only occur once every 2-4 days which often ended up with a PITA (aka hemorrhoids).
Daily Log:
Day 1: Weigh-in at 118 lbs @ 5'1" Pill at 7:00pm.
Day 2: BM @ 3:00am (8 hrs after pill). Pill @ 10pm.
Day 3: BM @ 8am (10 hrs after pill). Weigh-in at 115 lbs (after breakfast & BM)
The gist of it: No longer are the days of the shy turtle head hiding in its shell, afraid to come out. For now, with the help of Dr Tobias Funke, world-renowned analyst & therapist, this turtle confidently dives into the open sea of the toilet. I am now able to make daily BM!! <insert fanfare>. Shed 3 lbs - I'm almost certain this will fluctuate based on consumption & assumed inactivity. I have made no changes to my diet and/or exercise (or lack thereof).
Pros:
- Daily bowel-movements!!
- Increased Energy level
- Weight loss
Cons:
- Increased flatulence (As Pumba would put it, "I could clear the savannah after every meal")
- Full access to a toilet or bucket is a must (I suggest starting on a weekend)
- Slight cramping 5-10 min before BM (it's nothing compared to Aunt Flo and it's nice to get a heads up)
- Dry mouth (Drinks lots of water as clearly stated on directions)
TLDR: A great jumpstart to getting regular bowel movements. Weight loss & energy is a plus.
