I am trying to clean my colon, and I heard that some people loose weight with these pills. How does it work ? do you feel constipated when you take these pills (thats one of the problems with diet pills)
please advise if these pills really clean your intestines and if that also helps you loose weight.

Okay so I want my intestines cleaned out! I had a bad case of food poisining, and have had constipation in the past…but there’s so much out there…I can’t tell the difference between these cleanses?

so I heard about the salt flush…but do you basically just drink salt water and eat normally?

any advice would be great thanks!

So for the last couple of months I have been experiencing digestion problems. At first I suffered from constipation along with excessive bloating. It eventually went away after taking natural colon cleansing pills. Everything was going fine I felt like it my stomach was slowly regulating. I started taking vitamins as well and after a week or so stopped because I felt pains in my stomach. I had never experienced any trouble with vitamins and I found them easy to take. I took them with food but after a week or I started having stomach pains and my stomach was bloated and hard. I stopped taking any kind of pill and it helped, but my stomach would still hurt and bloat up even if I hadn’t eaten. Up to now I can not take my multivitamins or any kind of pills because it bloats up the lower part of my stomach and I will experience pain and constipation. Even when I don’t take any pills I wake up with the lower part of my stomach bloated until I have a bowel movement, and depending on the size of it that’s how much the my bloating will go away. I eat healthy and don’t eat greasy foods. I went to the doctor and they told me I might have IBS but that my symptoms are a little uncommon for IBS. They gave me medication and since its pills my stomach bloats up. Can anyone help me? I feel like something else is wrong and it has to do more with my digestion and my intestines.

I was just wondering what kind of benefits will a colon cleanse do for me. I have read and heard that depending on how much waste left in your intestines, you can loose weight and can cause you to be more energetic. Now will getting this done also help if starting a diet? You know start fresh.

Will your body be getting more of the nutrients in foods after this is done? And lastly how much does this process cost, ball park estimate?

Thanks

I hear about stuff on the radio that cleanses the walls of your intestines and flushes the colon. Can’t you do that by drinking a lot of fruit juice for a couple days?

Colon, Intestines, Liver, ect. Did it work? how did it make you feel?

I need to do a flush of all my systems especially the colon and intestines. i would also like to do a lung, lymph system, and liver cleanse.

I am 15 years old, and need to know about a natural bowel cleansing idea.

I have a bad stomach/intestines. I have gastritis, inflammation of my colon, erosion, and ‘white scarring,’and pain, and no prescribed medicine has treated any of these symptoms. I used to have to get an endo- and colonoscopy monthly to check up on my backed up bowels and etc. Since then, I haven’t been able to use any laxative to help clean me out.

There is a gross tasting lemon-like formula available at a pharmacy or store, I think it’s liquid magnesium, the doctor made me drink two bottles of it before the procedure, and it made stool liquid until it was gone…but I think I had to take a pill with it, and I don’t know where to get the liquid, and if I have to be a certain age. Now I obv. can’t get the pill because I don’t see the doc. anymore.

Is there any liquid or pill that I can take available to 15 year olds to help cleanse my bowels in the span of 1 to 2 days w/ fasting? (Not a continual med.)
The reason I want to know is because although there is no discomfort, I have "constipation," I only go to the bathroom a couple times a week. And I like the feeling of being clean, my intestines feel nice, haha. But also, my Mom thinks what I want to do is gross…so I need alternative help or recommendations!
I have a gastroenterolgoist, but she isn’t very experienced. And, she no longer wants to see me because she thinks it’s rheumatology/immunology related. I can’t get another one, there is none close. I don’t have a good doctor, so I can’t get far there….I wish I was older so I could drive where I needed to and fend for myself! Once I’m 16 or 17 I will deff. look for new doctors. Thankyou for your concern and answers. Unfortunately, I guess I probably won’t be able to cleanse my bowels on my own :/

Hi. I have recently done an olive oil and lemon juice cleanse for my gallstones. It was successful, but I am now suffering pain in the same region… not related to eating food. It is pretty constant. My husband, a crystal healer, divined that the sphincter between stomach and duodenum has been "burned" by the lemon juice, and there is/was a "bubble" in my intestines, caused by gas being caught in the olive oil.

I did the cleanse last Saturday night, but my stomach seems very gassy and upset, and I woke up with heartburn and stomach ache (like gallstone pain, from front to back, but nowhere near as severe…. and constant, instead of coming in waves).

I also feel like I need to "go" but nothing is coming (even though I ate popcorn last night). I have been almost fasting for the last 3 weeks (just juice, water vege soup, and apples) due to the gallstones.

Are there any herbs which can help my stomach and digestive system to heal and settle into normal functioning?
SoulDoctor, I am also a homoeopath, LOL (ie not a naturopath, hence I'm a bit in the dark about "cleanses" and the like.)

Have you ever used Nux vom successfully in these circumstances? I can't say I would ever consider it for what you suggest. I'll go read those links, though. Thanks.
OKay, I can see some resemblances now, but I've never abused any substance but food. I'm chilly, but always feel better in open air.

Pulsatilla is what usually works for me. (Ah… you know how Puls loves sympathy… hence getting my sympathy fix here on Y!A, LOL)!

Thanks for reminding me about homoeopathy, anyway. (I don't practice, so I tend to rely on less complex methods of healing… homoeopathy is a bit mind-blowing at times.)

Thank you for your kindness!

I have had severe acne for almost 8yrs, nothing has ever worked and I'm tired of trying new creams. I want to try a colon cleanse because I hear it can help clear out your colon and get rid of acne-causing toxins in your intestines, but I am really scared to try it on my own because large amount of fecal matter are gonna come out and what if something goes wrong?

best product to help cleanse the liver, kidney, colon & intestines?

i have an irritated and inflamed intestined due to heavy college drinking. i have to emphasize the fact that it doesnt hurt, it's just uncomfortable, and nothing makes it feel better or worse. except alcohol of course. i have researched alot but just wanted some outside opinions…will the master cleanse help clear out my digestive system and heal my intestines?

What You Will Need: This is just about one month's supply. It will cost you between –
depending where you buy it and the amount you buy.

1. Psyllium husk
This can be generic or the name brand Metamucilâ
…read the labels, it’s all the same stuff.

2. Digestive Enzymes
This promotes good bacteria in your colon as you
are releasing all the sludge. There are only a handful
of digestive enzymes that exists. If you get the multi-
enzyme bottle, you should cover them all.

3. Laxative Herbal Tea (with Senna)
A tea called “Smooth Move” is a popular one. It
doesn’t really matter what name brand you get, just
make sure it has “senna” in it.

4. Water
You will need to drink lots of water.

Instructions:

**IMPORTANT! You must drink a minimum of 2 quarts of water throughout the day. The fiber needs water to
move. Not drinking enough water can result in dehydration and/or constipation.***

PLAN A-
Most people are fine with staying on Plan A for the whole cleanse. I would only suggest gradually moving
onto Plan B if, after a couple weeks, if you aren’t having much results.

Morning: 2 heaping teaspoons of the Psyllium husk powder mixed with water.

Afternoon: 2-3 digestive enzyme pills.

Night time (just before bed): Steep *Tea (with Senna) for 15 minutes and drink.

*Warning, this tea can cause diarrhea. However, this usually doesn’t happen as the Psyllium powder, already
in your body (which is thick) counter acts this. The tea is like the “power” (gets your intestines ‘squeezing”)
and the Psyllium powder is like the “roto-rooter“.

PLAN B –

Morning: 2 heaping teaspoons of the Psyllium husk powder.

Afternoon: 2 – 3 digestive enzyme pills.

Evening: 2 heaping teaspoons of Psyllium husk powder.

Night time (just before bed): Steep Senna *Tea for 15 minutes and drink

What to Expect

**Results will vary! These are just typical results many people experience.

-By Day 2 you may wake up experiencing some mild to moderate cramping early in the morning. This is a
result of Senna tea you drank the night before, pushing the fiber (you drank previous morning) through your
system. Shortly after, you may feel an “urgency” to get to a bathroom. Typically, your feces will be very
“fluffy” and a lot of it. This routine will continue throughout the cleanse with the exception of maybe increasing
the number of times you have bowel movements.

Tip! “Bathroom emergencies” usually subside as you go more days into the cleanse and your system
becomes use to the it.

-The First Week you may pass worms such as pin worms (that look like small white threads) and round type
worms (that resemble rice). Also, you may experience feeling like you have a touch of the flu (nausea, body
aches, headache, low energy). If you still feel these symptoms after Day 8 I would suggest STOPPING the
cleanse. Most people experience feeling MORE energy by Day 7.

-After a few days you may experience rubbery, beef like poop that can range from grey in color to yellow to
brown. Some people have this only a few times during the cleanse while others experience it more.

Maintenance Cleansing
One last note, I've been asked how frequently to cleanse? Personally, I start up the colon cleanse whenever I
start to feel that sluggishness…you know where you feel the need to nap everyday at 3:00 regardless of how
much sleep you got? When I start feeling like a slug, I figure it's time to clean out the sludge. It
usually takes about 2-3 days into the cleanse and my energy level starts coming back….and the naps go
away. This is the biggest selling point for me that this really works! I usually only go for about one week for
these "maintenance" cleansing, then I'm fine for about 2 months.

…and do they really work, I need to have a colon cleanse, I'm toxic and farts smell like rotten cabbage, need to have the intestines flushed out again.

im 18 i have abdominal pain it was on my left side accompanying gas and bubbling noises, and yesterday night it radiate to my right abdomen like on the back and like on upper part like i feel gassy and bloated and like my diet contain lots of white bread, and beef, and corn syrup drinks not enough water in my system, i think i have a bacterial infection. This been going on for like 3 days now i took prune juice it did me justice i'll tell ya lol but it did pretty great i felt clean after wards but like i think i have a bacterial infection, i found out that bread has lots of yeast and bacteria which is bad for the intestines, im on my period like on my 5 day i don't know if it's my ovaries or something i have no other medical condition, i don't smoke or drink i have a great blood pressure, i have no fever no vomiting i eat great, im now going to start eating vegetables,. i just ate an apple now blueberries, and i have salad in the fridge that am going to eat with baked chicken. I've basically have to listen to my body and start eating healthy right now and that's what i wanted to do for my new year's resolution. Im 5'7 and i weight 145 am not overweight i need to make healthy choices, and give my stomach a break, now it's not severe pain the pain radiates to my back and my doctor said it could be my gall bladder and she said come back if you have vomitting or fever come back, Im doing this to myself my mom always say when you go to a restaurant with me make healthy choices on saturday my father took us out for dinner at a diner place for 5 star and like i ordered a classic like 8oz. cheesburger deluxe with a milkshake and my mom was mad she told my father you see what she's eating that's what you giving you abdominal cramps come on get something else i didn't listen now the next day my left side started to hurt it was just bloated feeling and shoulder blade pain with i was like ugh!!! so i went to a health food store i love natural medicine it helps tremendously and i think americans like me should rely on that like come on it's not synthetic money making drugs that FDA has approved it's ridiculous it doesn't work now am on a detox colon cleansing i just started today i need to do that with also eating right more vegetables in my diet because my stomach is mad. what food i should stay from? what food is great for the stomach? who had a condition like this and natural medicine helped them?

While I don’t doubt that we all have 8-12 lbs of crap stuck in our intestines and colon, do these products actually flush it out?

If so, what, if any, health benefits would result from having it flushed out?

Also what would happen if I took it? Would I be running to the bathroom to crap out half digested pizza rolls from 5 years ago?

hi im 18 i dont eat breakfast, i eat late at night, i dont eat nothing till like 10:00 or 9:00. I eat junk food alot, i eat whole wheat bread alot but lately i've ate white bread alot, and it been giving me stomaxch problems i dont eat good at all like i dont have a meal course at all, i sleep late due to computer, im a virgin, on Nov i bought meatball marinara with italian bread footlong in subway, and slept after that and woke up with left side pain in stomach and it stop and came back this year like jan 3 or 4 . i dont drink water like i should only minute maid, those corn syrup drinks like Ssips, which is bad for me, one time i bought a plate of cooked porked chicken and drank a glass of C&C grape soda and next day my stomach was like war gas GAS GAS GAS ALL OVER INTESTINES, it was so loud like whoa, my mom said eat healthy eat vegetables i do but not anymore, i know it bad today i bought pomegranate juice pure in health food store, and im a female my period finished on saturday. and like 2 days ago my left side hurts with gas and i hear it radiated to the right side upper right side, and like the side hurts it never happen before so my mom bought a colon cleanse and liver cleanse and i took it today and yesterday and well t takes time to go into effect, my back hurts also it like a bacteria infection, i only ate yogurt today. i need like a nutrionists who can guide me in eating good food, likw what should i buy? what should i eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner please tell me, my mom has stomach problems it runs in the family and it's bothering me like burning sensation, gassy, bloated, and i never had that problem it not so severe i give it an 8 , a friend whose a herbal practioner said my alkaline balance is i guess way to high get it back it normal size by eating right but how should i start? like the left pain in my stomach went to the right side with back pain and like why??? what should i do?

I just started a colon cleanse, but the whole point of it is that it absorbs everything in your intestines and then pushes it out.

But I don't want my birth control absorbed out! Can I still take it and it be effective? Or if I woke up at 3 am in the morning (I take my last dose of colon cleanse stuff at 10 pm, the next one at 7 am) and took the BC would it still be effective?

thanks.

I've bought this product Colon Cleanse, it's supposed to be better than a laxative, however, I didn't really see any results. I know my intenstines aren't that clogged up either. Even though I know that we humans consume so much food over the years that some of that food is still hardened on the walls of our intestines. I've been taking for a week now and I haven't noticed a smaller abdomen at all. Anyone taken this stuff other that myself, and what were you're results? Did you feel lighter?

Changing my life style…excersising, getting in better shape, giving up starchy foods, breads and especially red meat. I want to start the right way and one method I am interested in is to cleanse my body, intestines…pretty much detoxify my body. Suggestions, please?

I have been searching for a colon cleansing system that really works. I wanted to get recommendations on which system or pills would actually make me feel "lighter" as some suggests and actually clean out the junk in my intestines.

I just completed a colon cleanse with a kit from Blessed Herbs with laxative herbs, psyillium and powdered bentonite. My skin has been cleared and I feel more energetic after the cleanse and now, I've also been eating better with high fiber diet and lots of clean water.

I was quite regular prior to the cleanse with 1 bowel movement every day. After the cleanse, I am regular but frequently get 2-3 BMs a day. Problem is, I cannot understand why my stools are now so much thinner, but long. Prior to the cleanse, I had fatter, shorter stools.

Is there a chance that the psyllium/bentonite got stuck in my intestines or some other obstruction? I've also done a couple of enemas but my stools remain thin ( around 3/4 inch ) and long. I'm not constipated and I pass stools easily.

Will somebody who has knowledge of what's going on put my mind at ease? I really don't know how to deal with it if I got something stuck in my colon.

Please do not recommend colon cleanses or herbal remedies, they don't work for me, I have tried them ALL. I have tried all the special diets too.I have had this problem for 17 years and it is in the colon / upper intestine.I have had 2 colonoscopies in the last 3 years.They saw nothing weird, but you cannot detect candida that way, or so I have heard. I do not have vaginal yeast infections ironically, probably because my urine is super acidic, but I see symptoms all throughout my body in the last year that the yeast has infiltrated my system. I have read The Yeast Syndrome by Towbridge and done extensive research, but I think the best answers come from others who have used medicines themselves.I have used the highest level probiotics that helped, but did not resolve it. I know of Nystatin and Fluconazole, but have yet to try. Need a recommend.Oh and my doctor(s) do not believe in this particular strain of candida and do not want to prescribe anything due to the cost of it. Nice huh?
Thanks for the answers so far, but I am NOT guessing anything. I was diagnosed 8 years ago as having this and lost my health insurance right after that, so I had no continuing treatment. My current doctors don't want to deal with it due to cost and their beliefs and changing doctor's is not easy as I am not on insurance even now. Also taking any type of active probiotic is a waste of time until the Candida is killed off. My original doctor way back told me that and all the medical websites confirm it. You are wasting your money buying or taking anything to balance the intestines until the die off happens from the drug treatments. The Candida will just kill off the healthy bacteria as it is so much stronger. It appears that Diflucan is the one to use at this time. And the book The Yeast Syndrome was written by an expert in the field. I have had this for 17 years and have researched it extensively, I wanted a drug answer as specified in the original question, nothing else.

apparantly, many people seem to look at colon cleansing as a way to loos weight, wich is not what im looking for. Im looking to cleanse my intestines/colon. does any one know of any cleansing formulas?

I keep hearing about how we cary around a lot of impacted crap,literally, in our intestines. I have not always been the most healthy eater. Lately I've noticed a degree of lethargy,clumbsyness, poor vision,arthritice, other ailments before my years-54,so far. Is it a good idea to do one of those cleansing/fasting routines-which one is most safe,least scam-worthy,i.e.,TV infomercial? How involved, weakening,lengthy, etc, is this procedure,I'm in reasonably good health,just feel older than normal lately since semi-retirement?
Nope, no diabetic, not really sure what the hell it is.
Are there any potential ill effects is I guess what I'm asking.

I need information as to whether or not to try one and if they really work to cleanse your intestines and make you feel better.

…you've seen the ads …. some claim we may have 5 – 22 pounds of gunk in out intestines and others claim we may have hook worms……….. what do you know about this….is it shock advertising or the truth ?

are there any foods that will cleanse your colon and intestines?
