I have included basic info for you to review, however I recommend yopu call and talk with Virginia at 713-476-0016.

It's sometimes the case with supplements, drugs, and various treatments that the body adapts and begins to responding to them differently or with less intensity. Oxy-Powder® works two different ways; by oxidizing the compacted fecal in the intestines and the magnesium will cause a relaxing effect on the smooth muscles around the bowels. This direct interaction between the oxygen that is released from Oxy-Powder® and matter compacted in the bowel is one that will not change.

That being said, it doesn't mean that your body won't respond differently because of the particular situation or physical condition that you may find yourself in on any given day. There are numerous factors that can affect your elimination, your digestion, your emotional state, your sleep patterns, and various other bodily functions. These factors also change the effectiveness of Oxy-Powder because they can alter the efficiency with which you process the food that you consume, the type of communication that your nervous system has with the bowel, as well as numerous other daily habits.

Following is a partial list of factors that may affect an individual's response to Oxy-Powder®, even if they have taken the product in the past with good results:

Stress: This affects the entire body and can restrict all of the "housekeeping" functions, including elimination.
Diet: Changing what you eat and possibly consuming a food that you are allergic to or to which you’re intolerant.
Exercise: Regular exercise promotes elimination and can increase the effectiveness of Oxy-Powder even within a single day.
Stomach acid: The reaction that generates oxygen from Oxy-Powder is dependent on hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Decreased acid due to lack of production or medication can dramatically affect how well it works.
Medication: Many medications list constipation as a side effect including: Beta-blockers, overuse of laxatives, some anti-depressants, some sedatives, many pain medications including narcotics, diuretics, and some tranquilizers. (Please keep in mind that this is only a partial list.)
Dehydration/low fluid intake.
Travel or other disruption of daily habits.
Pregnancy and childbirth.
Pre-existing bowel disease.
Recent surgery or other medical procedure.
Low thyroid or other thyroid conditions.
Vitamin B deficiency.
Certain iron supplements including many ferrous sulfate supplements.

I think if after a week of taking oxypowder one has the same problem as the original poster (only one bowel movement a day)
then I'd reccomend organic Cascara Sagrada herb taken (two capsules with water at night) for a week.

This stimulates the colon -- in case it was getting to lax and out of shape from lack of peristalsis .

This may be why the poster is suddenly having only one bowel movement. Unlike Senna-- Cascara Sagrada herb is gentle on the bowels and actually TONES the eliminating organs and colon , instead of laxing them-- as chemical or herbal laxatives do.

Oxypowder is NOT a laxative- nor does it cause dependency-- just that in some people- any temporary change can lax thier colon muscles.

If they take Cascara Sagrada for a week after the 7 day cleanse, it will probably bring back the 2-3 bowel movements, as they continue their maintenance doses of oxypowder.
