I had that problem before I ever staretd on this diet. I was only doing 6 flax a day because that's what my bottle said. They upped me to 9 and I started taking the internal cleanser for one week. It helped and since I started taking 9 I haven't had to take the internal cleanser again. It's cheap *compared to the rest of their stuff* so I'd recommend it. It isn't so extreme as to cause you to go the other way either. If you're already taking 9 I don't think I'd up the flax anymore but if you're not then try that first because I did both simultaneously and don't know which really helped.
