Adding Syrup to Smooth Move

[mgersting]

Hey everyone. My first post here...thanks in advance for your help!

I started the MC yesterday (sunday) and have not had any significant bowel movements. I took the tea last night before bed and this morning as I drove to work. I let it steep for 15-20 minutes per the packaging, but I really dislike the taste so I have only been able to drink about half before I start gagging.

I was thinking it might help me to add some maple syrup to the tea to sweeten it a bit. Anybody have an opinion on if that's alright?

Sure, people have done that before.. especially if you use a little less of the syrup when you do your lemonade.

I added syrup everytime to the tea...that was the only way I could drink the nasty stuff. It definitely helps.

Good luck!

Hello all, I just started the cleanse today and was wondering about the syrup with the tea cause it is DISGUSTING. Would it be okay to add SPLENDA- the no calorie sweetner to the tea? I really wanted to do that but wasnt sure if that was okay.

Also, can you replace the SWF with tea? I have to commute on the train every AM EARLY and am onthe train for at least 40 minutes- I do NOT want to have an accident or something so could I drink the tea on the train in instead or drink just some of the the Flush on the train and finish the rest at work?

No Splenda!

Actually, you shouldn't really be adding syrup to the tea either. Straight is best.

us mods kinda disagree on this. I sometimes add a touch of MS to my tea or a bag of peppermint along with the senna to kill the taste. I think this is okay because the MS is an ingredient on the cleanse anyway.

Sometimes the senna makes me feel nauseous and after a while of cleansing the smell alone makes me sick, so the ms or peppermint tea helps me get it down.

Can we add cayenne pepper to the tea??
Has anyone else been doing that?

I bet it would be fine to add cayenne to the tea. The more cayenne, the merrier, I am finding... Just be careful... some people are reporting a little too much heat when it's on its' way out

I tried adding maple syrup to my chocolate smooth move last night. I thought it would be a nice change to have maple and chocolate together. I was wrong. The maple over powered the chocolate and it was too sweet. =(
