This post is a little old, but I really wanna thank you, Luisa. I'm not supposed to be taking GR during this part of my cycle, but I think I'll try the test again today, drinking the tea 20 min after meals.
More importantly, you really got me thinking about the timing of supplements. I've had major digestion issues for years, and I think timing the supps in relation to meals might be even more important for me than it is for most other people. Right now I'm just taking all of them 20 min before meals.
If this GR test doesn't work, I'm gonna be pretty confused again.Does anyone know when I should expect to see the swelling? About how many hours after my last meal would I expect to see swelling, assuming I don't start to swell before then? I'm asking these questions because I plan to take measurements to keep track. It's possible I won't swell enough to be able to see or feel it. I want to be able to differentiate a tiny amount of swelling from no swelling at all. In other words, I don't want to come to conclusion that I'm having absolutely no response unless it's true. Then again, it's really hard to measure small differences. If I measure less than a 1/4" difference at the end of the day, I'll assume there was no response.
My current measurements over bust: 31.5"
I'll probably update this thread after work, but it'll be really late. I might update it after dinner instead, if you all think I should have swelling by then.
