Thanks Insight - good tips! plus... Re: Help with IF 2
I like Insight's idea of starting with smaller dosages and "working up". I don't know if a different juice will help or not - if OJ worked for Insight, then give that a try (if you haven't). Grape juice is the strongest 'flavor masker', but it sounds like maybe it's the texture and not the flavor (IF#2 has virtually no taste at all).
Just confirming: you're mixing a heaping teaspoon of IF#2 with 4-6 of water or juice, and immediately following it with 8-16
oz of water, right?
Each time? How many times has that been?
So you're throwing up BEFORE you can even get to the water part? I've honestly never heard of this happening (before OR after the water) - you must be special! :o) :o(
I'm a bit confused - this: >>> each time it touches my mouth it and everything else comes right back out<<<
...indicating (to me) it causes you to throw up BEFORE you swallow.
Or this: >>> and proceed to drink it I throw up...I even tried it with a straw and got the same reaction.<<<
...indicating (to me) you're getting it past your tongue.
Point? Is it your stomach 'reacting', or your mouth/tongue/throat/you just being 'offended'?
Are you typically "a gagger"?
Whether you are or aren't (but particularly if you are), the most likely cure is EFT.

It only takes 15 minutes to learn how to tap, and it's an INVALUABLE tool! If you don't have time to download the free instructions and read them, there's LOTS of videos on youtube. These two are my favorites: (this one is an RN that uses this in her practice/work:

8/9 minutes ) ...this one's a bit longer, but a good explanation beforehand:

Your set-up phrase would likely be something like: "Even though IF#2 makes me throw-up, I deeply & completely accept myself." Change that to WHATEVER you feel about IF#2 EXACTLY - then follow the instructions/videos and tap through the entire series. Once you've done it 3-4 times, you can tap through the series in 3-5 minutes.
If you choose to try the lower amount mixed with the same amount of fluid, OR the smoothie (same amount mixed with more juice/fruit)...you'll need to work back to the proper ratio of fluid : IF#2
You can beat this thing, I know you can!
Slime ON!
