    Arrow Nopalina

    So I bought this product yesterday http://www.nopalinausa.com/ for constipation, weight loss, etc. Has anyone tried this? You're suppose to take it twice a day, but I think i'm going to take it once a day only. Not even everyday, just when i'm feeling bloated. I was feeling bloated for days, and this took care of it this morning. But then again, I get like this before my period.

    When I feel like a balloon, I take it once at night before I go to the bed. Next day my stomach is flat as a board. I don't need to take it everyday.

    Good stuff, I love it.

    Interesting! Thanks.

    I think I may have celiac's since I cant seem to eat anything with wheat anymore. Serious bloating occurs if I do.

    Im going to check this out. Thanks Vyanka!

    My boss drinks this stuff. She loves it. She says she goes #2 once a day now as opposed to once or twice a week. She started with one cup/serving a day and occasionally does two.

    Two other women in my office tried it afterwards. One liked the response but didn't continue to take it. The other didn't like the gas/bloating factor, which is the response for the first few days.

    Our company owner's wife is a former oncologist who specializes in holistic/natural medicine now. She says it has some really good stuff in it and gave it her stamp of approval.

    Definitely worth a try, but start out small and chase it with something b/c the globs can get stuck and be very uncomfortable going down from what i'm told.

    Your welcome.

    Yes, I would def. start off small too. I myself don't have to take it twice a day, as I already mentioned. When you put it in the glass of water, you have to keep stirring before sipping it so it wont get gooey.

    Also, this stuff is usually sold in your local bodega(latino mini supermarket). That's where I got mine.

    it's pretty much a bunch of fiber mixed with an herbal laxative.

    you'd be better off going to the health food store and buying flax seeds in bulk (cheaper), and a box of senna tea for 6 bucks total.

    I wish I had a bodega here. I live in the suburbs now where its impossible to find one.

    Thats one of the few things I miss from my ol' hometown.

    I would say it's the same. Spent less than 20 bucks. I bought my bag in October, and it lasted me until now.
