Colon Cleanse – Psyllium home and bentonite clay shakes?

Has anyone tried this? I am on day 4 of that treatment and I realized that I am increasingly bloated with every passing day. Does the swelling go away with time? In addition, psyllium powder does not mix well … ends agglutination but I drink it anyway. I've tried using a hand mixer and mix well, but I do not know if it's supposed to be lumpy or not to work! Help?

I do not think a "movement" is the way to go – these ingredients are very hard, and if it does not mix well can be very dangerous! There are plenty of products available that include bentonite, senna, and natural extracts for an easier experience. I used to clean core about 3 weeks ago and I have to say I was impressed. It was cheap and fast – And I felt better within days, which is the whole point of not even doing well? No mixing, no measuring .. completely simple.
