I have found some colon cleanse method that can help you. First is herbal supplement. Herbal supplements, such as psyllium and cascara sagrada, are some of the best supplements that are used to cleanse the colon. These herbal supplements are very effective in flushing out the toxic substances from your body, and they drive away the harmful parasites and bacteria from your intestinal walls. Second is Oxygen-Based Cleansers. These colon cleansing methods have gained immense popularity in recent times. Oxygen-based cleansers melt the excessive fecal matter and toxic substances accumulated to your intestinal walls. This waste is then converted into a liquid or gas form so that it is easily thrown out from your body.

Jill answers:

In a normally functioning digestive tract; all food/gas should pass in two-three days.
If you have surgery, major trauma, or an intestinal disease, the time length will be affected.
Diet, exercise, medications will also affect digestion and gas.

Because Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, this means it can effect virtually any system in your body ranging from neurological function to circulation. If you’re looking for a good read, you may want to try Living Gluten Free for Dummies, it’s one of those black and yellow dummies books. I found my copy on www.amazon.com. There are also a ton of great websites out there with infinite wisdom. My favorite websites are www.celiac.com and www.glutenfreeforum.com, but there are many many others. Just be careful of privately owned websites as the information isn’t always up to date. Celiac.com is probably your best resource for information. Glutenfreeforum.com is probably your best resource for support. The people on that message board are wonderful, so ask away. My name on there is Guhlia, so say hi when you stop by.

What other autoimmune disease do you have? For your lack of energy, try taking a vitamin high in B vitamins and iron. Have you been tested for anemia? Many Celiacs are anemic. If you haven’t gone gluten free yet, please do so immediately. Eating gltuen can cause cancer, osteoperosis, osteopenia, peripheral neuropathy, etc…

Jill answers:

When you receive an epidural for abdominal surgery, the intestines are temporarily anesthetised. One of the advantages of the epidural is that when it wears off, the intestines are restored to their original tone, since the anesthetic is not in contact with them.

It is always difficult to resume BM after surgery. The nurse will ask anxiously about bladder and bowel activity. General anesthesia generally shuts everything down for a period of time.

Jill answers:

They are nothing but strong laxatives.
Do they “work”?
Well, they make you poop a LOT.
But do they do anything else for you? No.
Your colon does not need help “cleaning” itself. It is self-cleaning and these pills are a scam and a waste of money.
Don’t be foolish.

Jill answers:

It’s going to clean you out, in other words give you diarrhea for a while, if you can handle running back and forward to the bathroom, then go for it.

Jill answers:

You’re going to get lots of differing opinions here.
My friend was diagnosed (2 Drs) with stage 5 uterine cancer, given 6 mos to live by 1st Dr, 3 mos by 2nd Dr.
She refused radiation and chemo, started colonics.
She had 30 colonics in 45 days, began eating nothing but organic food, drinking a gallon of water a day, and by the end of 2 months was cancer free.
That was 7 yrs ago.
She believes in it.

Jill answers:

OK, I’ll admit that I’ve started colon cleansing and, yes, after my last treatment then the whites of my eyes were noticeably whiter. My mother noticed it and a good friend noticed it, it wasn’t just me noticing. Both asked me what I was doing different, thinking I was taking a new vitamin that was doing it.

My last treatment was my 4th or 5th colonic. I go in for my next one on Thursday and I’ll make it a point to see if there’s any change in my iris but, so far, it was only noticeable on the whites of my eyes.

Also, I might add, that I’ve had a lifelong problem with chronic constipation, just like my Dad, so someone who has never been afflicted with intestinal problems like ours might not benefit from colon cleansing.

Jill answers:

It just seems like spam to me. They post the same responses regardless of the question.
They know there are a lot of people who are obsessed with weight in this section, so they’re hoping to gain some business.

Jill answers:

Because people dont want to do any work, most are all lazy and think if they cleanse their colon they will somehow be healthier instead of eating well and exercising. They want a quick fix.

Jill answers:

Your intestinal tract does a fine job of cleaning itself, those cleanses as they are called are nothing more than cathartics, or laxative measures and they can really mess you up. The only reason they get away with their promotions is because they are not regulated by the FDA, they use only “natural” ingredients…well guess what, most dangerous illnesses are also caused by “natural” agents. It’s all a load of BS.

Jill answers:

My wife has bowel problems. She actually buys an OTC pill called “Colon Cleans” seems to work pretty well for her. I think it may actually be spelled “Colon Cleanz”

Jill answers:

The amount of weight you can lose with a colon cleanse depends on how much matter is left in your intestines. The average person has 5-20 pounds of matter, so you can lose a decent amount. I recommend Preventive Nutrition® Complete Body Cleansing Program from GNC, available for $39.99.

Jill answers:

A colon cleanse can help your body rid itself of toxins that have built up in the intestines. If you’re not eating enough fiber, which is cleansing, then your system will get backed up. Things can get clogged/stuck to the lining of your colon. You can then experience constipation, and even if you overcome the constipation, you may still have a residue of stuff stuck on the walls of the colon, causing a toxic buildup. So the colon cleanse is comprised of a combination of ingredients that will help to rid the colon of the toxic buildup. It is very effective. Some people can even lose a few pounds after going on a colon cleanse.

How long you would have to use it really depends upon which program or products you use. If I were you, I’d find a naturopathic doctor who will recommend the proper cleanse for you, as well as advise you what kind of a diet you should be consuming during and after the cleanse.

Good luck!

Colon cleansing is typically herbal, whereas fleets is tried and true method

Jill answers:

Any cleansing program should begin in the colon, the last portion of the digestive system. The colon’s job is to compact the chime, absorb water, and receive B-vitamins that are produced by healthy intestinal bacteria.One of the most renowned nutrition experts in the world, Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., Ph.D., author of many popular health books, states:

“It has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems. In treating over 300,000 patients, it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for first before any effective healing can take place.”

We could actually compare the function of the colon in our bodies to a sewer system in a large city. Just imagine for a second what would happen if the sewers in our area became clogged by some debris. Undoubtedly, within a short time the whole neighborhood would be filled with filth and an unbearable stench. This is the same process that occurs in our bodies when the elimination system is not functioning properly. When the colon is clean and healthy, we experience an overall well-being. When it is congested with stagnant waste, poisons back up into the system and pollute the inner environment. This is called autointoxication or self-poisoning.

Signs of self-poisoning

In her best-selling book, Internal Cleansing, Dr. Linda Berry, a chiropractor and clinical nutritionist, summarizes the symptoms of self-poisoning.

“If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be experiencing autointoxication (a process
whereby you are poisoned by substances produced by your own body as a result of inadequate digestion
and elimination), and therefore you might want to consider some type of internal cleansing program:

*Allergy or intolerance to certain foods, Bad breath and foul-smelling gas and stools
*Constipation, diarrhea, sluggish elimination, irregular bowel movements, Frequent congestion, colds, viruses
*Flatulence or gas and frequent intestinal disorders, Frequent headaches for no apparent reason
*General aches and pains that migrate from one place to another, Intolerance to fatty foods
*Low energy; loss of vitality for no apparent reason, Lower back pain
*Lowered resistance to infections, Needing to sleep a long time
*Pain in your liver or gall bladder, Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), breast soreness, vaginal infections
*Skin problems, rashes, boils, pimples, acne

If you have severe symptoms or any serious disorders, seek the attention of a competent health care provider. The above list is only meant to indicate some of the symptoms of autointoxication. Anyone who has been on a Standard American Diet for more than two years would benefit from periodic cleansing, especially if you live in an urban area.

Every cell of our body is affected by self-poisoning. When the toxins accumulate in the nervous system, we feel irritable and depressed. We feel weak if they back up into the heart, bloated if they reach the stomach and our breath is foul if they reach the lungs. If the poisons try to escape through our skin, rashes and blotches develop, or we look pale and our skin appears wrinkly. If the toxins make it to the glands, we feel fatigued, lethargic, our sex drive may cease and we appear to look much older than our actual age.

Jill answers:

It’s possible that some people chicken out and cancel their appointments and they want to ensure that they get paid for holding an appointment whether you come or don’t. I know that it’s common practice for some fringe medical places like chiropractors to require a 24 hr.-plus notice for cancellations and if you fail to do that, they make you pay. On “Seinfeld”, George ran into that situation with a physical therapist. He was miffed that he had to pay.

Jill answers:

Your problem is that you are acting as constipation is the ailment. The constipation is a symptom of your IBS. Laxatives, enemas and yes colonics only treat symptoms. Lifestyle changes are necessary. Introduce fiber, water and yogurt into your diet. Also do 20 to 30 minutes of brisk exercise per day.

Jill answers:

That doesn’t sound right at all. Also, there is no need for these expensive treatments, your body cleanses itself naturally. You may have a perferation of your anus or sigmoid colon, so I’d get it checked immediately.

Jill answers:

No its not worth it. In any case there is no benefit to colon cleanses, your colon is self cleaning. You do not have impacted faecal matter accumulating in there.

From Wiki (check the references):
“No scientific evidence supports the alleged benefits of colon cleansing.[3] The bowel itself is not dirty and barring drugs, disease or mechanical blockage, cleans itself naturally without assistance.[4] Certain enema preparations have been associated with heart attacks and electrolyte imbalances, and improperly prepared or used equipment can cause infection or damage to the bowel.

The human body naturally removes waste material, and colon cleansing is not necessary except preparatory to a colonoscopy.[4][14] Colon cleansing may disrupt the balance between bacteria and natural chemicals in the bowel, and may interfere with the colon’s ability to shed dead cells.”

Risk without benefit.

Jill answers:

The headache is your body’s way of telling you that you’re not eating, or giving it what it needs. It’s going to persist until you eat something. Staying hydrated will help it some, but not a whole lot.
If you’re going to persist with the fast, your headache is going to stick right with you too.

Jill answers:

I have tried every diet under the sun but nothing worked as effectively as acai berry. I know they say that pills do not work, nevertheless they certainly worked for me, and they have been featured on CBS News too. There’s a free trial happening at the moment at http://dequls.mykeepfitpro.info , give it a try, why not?

Jill answers:

Nope. And I do not care to try any.

Jill answers:

Hey there,

I’d recommend you check out the Colon Clean product – it’s very gentle and contains a pro-biotic supplement to help replace any beneficial bacteria lost during the colon cleansing process. I was really nervous about taking a colon cleanse product at first – I thought I’d be running back and forth to the bathroom all day! But I really didn’t have any trouble with the Colon Clean product – I went a little more often than normal, but nothing gross or uncomfortable.

Anyways, if you have any questions about the product, feel free to shoot me an email – I’d be happy to discuss the plan that worked for me with you.
