This Wednesday will be day 10 for me--do I start taking the probiotics the next day? 2 a day for how long?
Thanks!

Jlg: I take probiotics the 1st day I stop the cleanse. Others do it differently.

I start off with 1 capsule, see how my stomach does and then increase to 2 the next day if I'm ok. Then it's 2 a day for me for 30 days. Then 3x a week after that. Congrats on almost being done!

thank you...i'm doing well on the oj and had half a grapefruit cause i'm hungry...no stomach problems...this is harder than the fast i think because its like a tease...any advice you can give me because i really want to eat something or at least have the veggie broth! even though i know the recommendations and what can happen!

Squeaky - been there done that! You're so anxious to 'taste everything'! Your best bet is to drink A LOT of water and go raw for 30 days - yup raw. You asked.

When you're finished with correctly breaking the fast - eat fresh fruits and veggies. You can make smoothies, green smoothies, salads and check out the One Month Raw Challenge thread and the Lemonhead Recipe Box for recipes.

Currently I'm reading a book that encourages drinking a glass of water with a lemon squeezed into it 30 minutes before eating. It gets your body ready for food. Now, you may not want to see another lemon for a while, but you may want to try it.

Whatever you do, DON'T OVEREAT! < this is a huge pitfall and temptation. Eat small amounts of soup more often during the day. Then when you transition to a normal diet, eat small amounts more often. Don't buy junk and then you won't be tempted to eat it. Treat yourself with respect. You've just done a wonderful thing for your body and you don't want to put crap back in.

Stay in touch and congrats!

Hi, I am just finishing up my first cleanse. I am on day 9 and plan to complete day 10 and then stop. My concern is that I am getting my wisdom teeth out 2 days after ending the cleanse. I know I have to wean myself back into eating, but I won't really have time and will still be on orange juice when I get the teeth out. I dont think OJ is a good thing to drink after you get your teeth out, and I am assuming ice cream and jello wont work either. Do you have any ideas as to what I can eat/drink and not upset my stomach after getting my teeth out? I am afraid i may eat or drink something and throw up and I think that would be a disaster with my mouth full of gauze. please help!

Res, where can you get probiotics? Local drug stores? health food stores? Do all people who go throught the cleanse need to take these?
