Colon Cleansing Anyone ?

Inquiring minds want to know,......I have heard so much about the colon cleansing stuff that is advertised,.....shows pictures of "monster-stuff" coming out of you,.....making you 5 to 10 lb lighter,.....??????
I have tried some natural stuff which looked and smelled like something that came out of some herbivore, likely a sheep. LOL All that did was fill me with gas.

Anyone???? Colon Cleansing = Humbuck or worth the pain? (and the money)???

I tried it and it gave me gas as well, I got the kind from the health food store as the stuff on the internet had a "contract" with it.........if it works why do thay have to tie you in to buying it for 6 months.......hello?? we're fat NOT dumb!!!!

I didn't think it was worth the money but I only spent $6.95...hahahah!

Get a colonic if you want to clean yourself out.  I was skeptical at first, but I can't tell you how incredible 'clean', inside and out, you actually feel.  It's not painful, although a little uncomfortable at first.  All and all, totally worth the $60.

cvgirl1969,

What a great idea! Thank you so much,....A friend of mine had that done many years ago,...and I completely forgot!!!! Woohoo!

$ 60.00 is not so bad for feeling good again!

Thanks again,...you are brilliant!!!

A couple of things:

(1) I am not sure I would trust over the counter colonics, they may or may not work.

(2) I did essentially have a colonic for colonscopy but it was perscription.  I literally lost 10 pounds in 2 days, but most of it was water weight.  2 days later I had gained back 7-8 pounds.

(3) If it does work, yoru mileage is going to vary.  A colonic cleans out your system, if you allready eat lots of dietary fiber, ruffage, etc. your likely to be fairly clean down there anyway.  The more meats and processed crbohydrates, the more will be there.

(4) Remeber though, your not removing fat.  Your removing water and anything stuck in your digestive track.  Unless your diet changes that stuff will re-accumulate.

(5) You do feel clean though... :)

I never believed that this should be used as a means to loose wait. I have lost 24 lb since the beginning of April with the help of CC by eating right, no proscessed anythings,...(which is great since avoiding anything pre-made I have not had ant cravings for anything sweet or chocolate,....) I eat lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, etc. but I have a problem being regular even with high fiber intake,....When I go I never feel empty,.....so I was hoping that any of you hade experience with the colon cleansing. I do like the idea about the perscription colonic,....I shall call my doctor and ask. I wouldn't want to take over the counter laxatives.

Thank you so much for your reply,...

I tried the Acai Pure Berry cleanse free 14 day sample as advertised.  Honestly, it does cleanse (very well), but it ties you into a monthly program where it auto deducts $$ from your checking account.  Buyer beware the "free sample" - not so free!

Thanks for the post. I recently ordered the Acai Pure Berry to "try it"> Were you able to cancel when you wanted to end your use of it?

Yes, but be sure to keep all your package receipt info.  If you don't have the order #, they will give you the run around.  I ordered the free trial and before I even received it, my account was charged (I want to say like $36.00 or something).  I was in such a panic I think I emailed them every day.  If remember correctly, there may have been a catch that obligates you to a contract of so many months.  When the transaction posted to my account, their phone number showed up in my bank statement . . .  I harrassed them like crazy until they reversed the charges and cancelled the contract.

Like I said, the product works - at least to clean you out, but I wasn't about to be chained to those monthly payments! 

Go natural & buy Psyllium Whole Husk. Has tons of fiber & its great at keeping you regular. You can buy it at  any health food store or big chain stores with a natural food section. I put it in my smoothies or cerals, you can add it to anything.

Oh, goody! I have that one,.....never put it into a smoothy before! I am so grateful for all your ideas!!! Thank you!

Mikki,

Thanks. After thinking about it, I don't think I would need to be "cleaned out" as frequently as taking a pill EVERDAY. I will look at my account daily. Appreciative,

One thing to keep in mind with taking psyllium husk powder, drink LOTS of water. I used to take it in capsule form because I hated the way it thickened so quickly in my smoothie. It was like drinking wall paper paste only thicker...GAG. When I took it in capsule form I had to drink double the water I would normally drink or get so plugged up I felt like an overinflated beach ball. 

My experience after getting so plugged up was to simply increase my vegetable and fruit consumption so I didn't need much additional fiber to keep the ole pipes clean. 

Colonics are good and you feel wonderful but I would recommend having this done by someone who specializes in them. We have a gal in our city who does this and she has a steady flow of business. 

Its one of those things you have to ease into. If you take to much to soon it will cause problems. Start with a little at a time. It even says so on the container.

Try Super Dieters Tea.  Some grocery store carry it and you can find it in health food stores.  I will clean every thing out.  I drink it a couple of times a week.  30 tea bag for around $7.  It has been around for at least 25 years.  I have been using it that long. 

Yes,....the Senna leave tea,......boy oh boy,...did that ever help! I am a happy camper,....but in my case and it might be for others as well,...be careful what you wish for,...I made the mistake to have one cup two days in a row,....I had to leave work if you know what I mean,.....it became painful at one point,.....now I know better and it will be used wisely,.....and for me it is really just an aid to have a BM and not to loose weight!!!!!!

Thank you all for keeping this going and having so much "insight",...you helped greatly!!!!

Happy Counting,...BarbB
