It's been about 2 1/2 weeks since I started on the Reliv supplements; currently taking a heaping scoop of Classic + 1/2 scoop of Fibrestore, usually in a soy milk-type smoothie, 2wice a day. Quite happy with it so far. As I indicated before, energy levels are really noticably better; I don't get those massive downtimes in the middle of the days. Right now is the acid test, 2 or so days before period, and energy level is great. I'm also staying healthy while teaching in a high school where many students and teachers are falling victim to strep and sinus infections. Maybe that's coincidence, maybe not, but anyway, I'm REALLY pleased. Fibrestore, fiber suppplement, is up to about 10g at this point, which is about half the target amount, or 2 full scoops per day. WOW, that seems like a lot, and I ramped up fairly quickly per Karen's instructions, but didn't seem to experience any unusual amount of discomfort or bloating. I bloat some every day, but this has caused no more than expected. Also BM's have been regular, sometimes even 2-3 a day. The really noticably positive thing so far has been the absence of that "feeling of incomplete evacuation". I am still in the process of ramping up dosage of this, and also realize that it'll take 2-3 weeks to completely become accustomed, so I'm looking forward to even better results to come. One caveat, I'm a hard core C; I suspect D's might be a little bit more sensitive to rapid increases in dosage of fiber, and might wish to take it far slower than is recommended by the RELIV people. My body pretty much approves of it though. I'll definitely continue to use these products. The energy levels alone are worth the price of admission. So, so far, VERY good. I'll continue periodic reports if people think it useful.
