I was looking up info on the internet about doing a Body detox GI cleanse cleanse while on the phase 2 part of the HCG diet. I am hoping you will be able to help me.
I ordered the Creations GI cleanse and organ detox and Advanced Ultra Pro probiotics from Dr. Val (whom I trust). I am on day 23 of HCG and am going to do the 40 day sublingual drops. The reason I want to do the cleanse is b/c I have had stomach issues in the past with bloating and constipation and I feel possibly parasites. I didnt know about cleanse as phase 1 of the diet and only later found out about it when already in the midst of the phase 2. I do not have a lot of weight to loose. I am 5'9 weighed 175 now 161. I also carry it well. BUt my stomach is still very bloated from the inside. I really want to do the cleanse and the cleanse calls for very healthy eating as well, so I feel it would be a good time. I am just reaching out for some insight from others. If you could help me or let me know your thoughts I would so appreciate it.
Thank you so much,

Hi Lisa,
I have mixed feelings on this. Personally I think that it will be harsh on your system. You are all ready at borderline protein deficienty which is hard on your body. I do think that the cleanse would be good, but not during p2.
Are you constipated at all? Are you drinking enough fluids?
Also, do you know what the ingredients are? Are there sugars/salts or other items that actually might cause more problems?

Hi Jenni, Thanks for ur response. No, it is all natural
The Gi cleanse has:
artichoke leaf, ashwagandaha root, beet leaf, bupleurum root, burdock root, celandine leaf, chlorella corn silk, dandelion root, hawthorn berry, larch arabinogalactan gum, milk thistle seed, mullien leaf, red clover leaf, tumeric root
no starch, sugar
The Detox Cleanse has:
cape aloe gel, magnesium,(58%) rhubarb root, slippery elm bark, marshmellow root, fennel seed, ginger root, triphala
no sugar or starch
The cleanse is for 30 days, they say the first week you may not feel good b/c of headache or nausea due to detox, to drink plenty of water ( which I am doing) and eat very healthy (which I am doing)..
I am not sure. I want to be able to get the most nutrients as possible and really wish I would of done a cleanse beforehand.
I also ordered the advanced ultra pro a probiotic.
Jenni, I am constipated and my stomach seems so bloated for barely eating anything. And its not the fat part but internally.. Almost as if I had a huge meal.. I am loosing all over which is good, I just expected my stomach to flatten a little considering the vlcd. -

Hon, you need to drink some senna tea or take a stool softner. If you are constipated (which is quite common on this diet) that would explain the bloating. Another thing I would do (if you aren't allergic to ragweed) is to drink some dandelion tea. It helps the liver and gall bladder work at it's optimum level and it might help.
Until you get unclogged i wouldn't do the cleanse. Otherwise I don't see anything in it that should stop you. Are you taking priobotics or digestive enzimes?
Jenni -
oook, i guess Ill just wait ;).. I really wanted to do it. Should I wait till phase 3? Is it ok to take the probiotic and digestive enzymes with this? Do u think that would help too? I do take the senna tea or the smooth move but I didnt think you could do it everyday. Its just that Ive had the bloating for like 2 years. And Ive learned all this stuff about parasites and it kinda freaks me out. I just dont want any parasite living in me taking my nutrients. I know it sounds crazy but I was bombarded with info and it woke me up.

LOL I hear you. Parasites are such a harsh word. We all have bacteria in our body (parasites if you will) some are good, some are bad. I would do the digestive enzimes and see if they help. The one I take is Sair-Zme aps by country life. I take them through P2 without any problem.
I also take colonix (not the cleanse, just the fiber) daily. Walgreens has the tea and fiber in a kit calledf colonaide. I highly recommend it. I take it daily and it definitely keeps me regular.
Jenni -
Is the colonix you take by Dr. Natura? I actually have that and havent used it in about a year. I have the fiber stuff u take in water and the tea for at night. I wonder if its the same thing??.. ANyways, thanks for bringing me down to reality and helping me to see clearly. Once I get an idea in my mind its hard to convince me otherwise (so my hubby says). I appreciate u taking the time to help me. :) And I may go see whats in the colonix I have and take that with the tea. THen get what ur talking about later. Do u think I should do the cleanse on phase 3 or just wait till thats over as well?
By the way, how long have u been on HCG?? DO u like it? Have u lost a lot of weight?? To me I am so shocked this isnt more well known. Its amazing how it works. I am a little nervous about after phase 3 though and it staying off.. I'll have to read up on that. :)
Thanks Jenni for ur time :)! Lisa -

Lisa,
Talk about being brain dead when writing. I have to ask you to forgive me LOL
The caps are called dairy-zyme caps from country life LOL I just read my post sheesh!
Yes the colonix is the same one you have. Take about 1/2 of the scoop in water and tonight take some kleri tea. Only steep it for about 45 seconds to 1 minute. I've used it through all my phases and it has not caused me to stall. I know it is 40 cals if you do the full dose, but I don't count it in my calories. It's too important to me to keep me regular.
I've lost 47 and I've been on it since the Fall. I did a full round last fall, P2, P3 and P4 and in January decided to start cycling and have been losing ever since. I'm just loving this protocol aren't you????

Sorry it took me so long Jenni..life gets crazy and sometimes I never get a chance to get to the computer. :) Thats great you lost 47 lbs! Wow.. so exctiting! WHen you did your first round of phase 2, did u do the 23 day or 40? I am doing the 40. My weight loss is great but sometimes it really slows down. Its day 30 for me and I have only lost 17 pounds. But my hubby in 23 days has lost 20! So not fair! I am hoping for another 10 lbs in 10 days.. I would then be 150. I would be very happy. Its just too long to wait to start again. If I am doing the 40 day, that means I have to do the 6 week maintenance correct? I havent even looked into phase 4 yet. I dont even know what that is. so much to learn and not much time to learn it. By the way, did u do the drops or shots? If drops which ones did u use? Lisa

Thanks,
I am down 13lbs on dAy 23. I thought maybe I should do the cleanse to increase losses . I was hoping fo 25-30 lbs and maybe still can but losses are down to .2-.4 daily. Oh well a loss is a loss.good luck on P3.!
