Anyone else heard of this? My sister told me about it because she has the same problems I do. We don't go... you know.
And just a forewarning this post is not going to be pleasant, I get to talk about poo and the problems I have with it... fun right?
So having an incredibly bad thyroid, and it barely working ( I'm sure you can find all kinds of information on the subject)
I was taking miralax for about the past 3 or 4 years, I had heard that if you use it too long it can mess up your bowels and you can have more of the same problems even when you get off of it. So I finally gave in ordered me some of the 3 ballerina tea, got it in the mail and was kind of excited to try it.
I started it last Tuesday (11/10) night because, what I had read and from what my sister had told me you drink it before you go to sleep wake up and like magic you have to poop a lot... I brewed it for 5 minutes as directed woke up the next morning...and... nothing!!! I thought to myself yep! that's me nothing can just work right...
Again, the next night I increased the brewing time to 8 minutes.... got up the next morning, and.... nothing! Am I the only person in this world that can drink this and not poop?
Again, increase the brewing time to 10 minutes, and I finally go... now from what everybody had told me this stuff is supposed to be like rotor Rooter you will poop your brains out lose 5 pounds in the process cuase you store so much... yep! Not me!
Fast forward a couple days still doing 1 tea bag for 15 almost 20 minutes my sister tells me to do 2 bags start at 10 minutes and work your way up...
Tuesday night I do the 2 teabags, and I go. .. Wednesday night I do the two teabags for almost 20 minutes because I forgot, and wouldn't you know it I could have lost 5 pounds, finally some success... although still not happening right when I wake up like it is supposed to. (I have issues going poop other places than my house...) again did the two bags for 20 minutes and this morning as soon as I get up.... I Poop!
So for anyone that is like me and it didn't work right away, I suggest trying the one teabag maybe for 20 or 30 minutes. If you are still not going like you're 'supposed' to, then try the two bags for 15 or 20 minutes!
I'm only posting this because when I went to look for results of not going with 3 ballerina tea there was nothing... I thought surely I am NOT the only one that has this problem! Sometimes I wish to be like the girls that had posted they drink it one time and took to their brains out... sorry if this is TMI but congratulations for reading the whole thing!
