My Mom’s ex is at our house right now resting from surgery on his colon. He’s about 50…had no friends, so my mom is helping him. Anyway…why would something like this need to be done?

i need honest unbiased reviews on values & safety, then i would like #1 recommendation.
where do i find "unbiased" reviews on this subject?

Is it? I’m having constipation so I added more fibers to my diet but I still got constipated so I bougth a colon cleanser the other day and tried it. It worked but it caused severe diarhrea so I got scared of using this product.

for the past 2-3 weeks i have been getting rectal pain and pressure, but about the past week and a half it has gotten really painful, even when i lay down, and especially when walking or sitting straight up…

is this due to my baby sitting really low and putting pressure on all that stuff?? cause i know for a fact im not constipated, and it kinda comes and goes, but is at least once or twice a day, and is really really bad in the mornings (like now). ive also been having really bad aches in my tail bone, im guessing its all linked, but what is the cause of this? im asking my doctor on the 15th, but im tempted to call and mention it cause it seems to be getting more painful by the week.

This problem has become so bad that I absolutely minimize eating solids. All I really do is drink milk. None the less, the every third day, I get <constipated> and the pain it causes is immense. I can barely move my legs until I am able to remove the constipation (I’ll be as kind to spare You these details). ANYWAY, one Doctor hypothesized it’s the build up of you-know-what, possibly somewhere in by ascending or transverse colon, that goes and pushes up against something, that pushes another thing, which ultimately pushes into my sciatic nerve. The sciatic, incidentally, is one of the biggest nerves You got and if You saw it in a dissection, it’s quite thick and visible. Thus, a very important and vulnerable nerve.

I’d like to hear back from anyone who has experienced a similar problem with constipation leading to such severe pain (sciatica) that it stops You from walking or standing up for that matter.

I hate pain pills, but I can’t seem to escape them for my osteoarthritis problems I must live with.

Thank You Sincerely for Your answer, if You care to venture sharing Your experience. Sincerely, <Kraken>

Sometimes I’ll be out at the store, and diarrhea spasms hit me. I have had accidents on several occasions. How can I avoid this? Is there some butt-cheek strengthening exercises I can do?

I have stomach pains all the time, and frequent diarhea. Sometimes though I’ll go 3-4 days without haveing a bowel movement. Then all at once have diarhea. I’m thinking a colon cleanse would help Me out. Does anyone have any good tips, or advice on which colon cleanse product? Thanks

Before a colonoscopy u have to take those special laxatives. How often do you end up going to the toilet? Every 5 mins or so? And alsooo do u get anal leakage???

Why is the presence of sodium bicarbonate necessary in the small intestine? I need a exact answer for my study guide!

They claim you can lose alot of weight pretty quickly. Alot of feedback online, but can I trust it?

K, this is getting annoying and i cant find anything that matches my symptoms.
right now my ribs on the left are feeling a constant, relatively sharp pain.

Here’s how it went, Me and a friend we’re talking over skype about emotionally painful topic.
Eventually i began to feel a pain in my left side, followed by dizziness, a tight chest, and nausea.
Standing up made it much worse. Well i woke up the next morning feeling fine, but then a few pains came back but not very bad at all just annoying. This was about three days ago.
I have had an incredibly small fever nothing to even worry about…but ive been sweating and feeling hot. So here’s where im at now, pain in my left ribs, abdominal pain, dizzyness, tight chest, slight slight fever, a tingling body, and now i even am having a bit of rectal bleeding.

as stated before, the pains arent very intense, but are always a bother and can be enough to make me wince at times.

very detailed description, and very confusing for me, im assuming theres nothing to worry about but im having the weirdest symptoms, nothing seems to match.

I saw a website where people did a colon cleanse.Holy crap!Sorry bad choice of words.I want to try one but its kinda frightning.Has anyone done?And how quick does it work?

Has any one used Bowtrol of Duel Action Cleanser systems?

And what is the treatment for Colon Polyp? I understand there is no surgery or medication required for colon polyp, what’s the method used to remove colon polyp?? Is it painful??
Will appreciate if any oncologist or anyone who had experienced or has this knowledge, please kindly give your professional and vaulable advice. Thank you very much.

It is said that cleaning your body is good for your health. Has anyone ever had this done, and what is the process, what is the average cost if insurance does not cover. Has anyone ever tried The Lemon Diet aka The Master Cleanse Diet ? Are there any opinions or either or.

I am on day eight of the Master Cleanse (aka The Lemonaid Diet), and I really want to flush out any accumulated toxins and parasites. But so far, my bowel movements are all clear: no parasites or "strange, dark solids." Has anyone gone on this detox regimin and not had any parasites?

I am following the book faithfully (64 oz of the lemonaid mixture, senna leaf tea, and salt water flushes), and have about 2-3 liquid movements a day. It is my first time cleansing, and I really wanted it to be a cleansing! I also do not feel like I have the amazing energy they say I should. Could it be that it might take longer for me? Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Please let me know.
To: vwtdi:

I do have a lot of energy considering that I am only drinking the lemonade mixture, saltwater in the am, and senna leaf tea at night. It just isn’t what I thought it would be. I get a lot more energy after drinking a full bottle of Synergy Kombucha, for sure!

The detoxing is great, though. I have used other detoxes before, but this one–so far–has more detox symptoms (yucky tounge, backache on day four, etc), so I feel like it works better.

I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost. I don’t own a scale, and I’m not doing it for weight loss. But I feel lighter on the inside (if that makes ANY sense), so I think you’d like it. I cannot imagine eating only 500 cals a day and NOT losing weight, so you might have success with that.

Good luck!

I know I am posting questions about this, but just wanting peoples experinces, I have been to the doctor today and they are running test to find out what it is……I am just parinoid cause Im preggo…be nice please

My sis has told me that they make you lose anywhere from 5-25 pounds depending on the state of your intestines and such. I’ve read articles about them and have seen all the infomercials. I’m mainly interested because if they did actually work, I’d want to clean out my intestines, since supposedly there’s like 5-22 pounds of compressed fecal matter in the average person’s intestines.

Low anterior resection was performed and no lymph nodes were affected. Grandmother and mother with breast/bone cancer.

honestly speaking..i missed my menstruation for one year, a woman’s period is rlly impt cos it helps to remove toxins n all,once i started my periods again,i think my hormones created havoc… and also started gaining weight like hell.
so i thought of doing a liver/colon cleanse to lose some weight and ‘recorrect’ my hormonal problems(if any)

You guys think i can lose at least 10 pounds if i do this for 5 days? just eat the detox pills,drink tea,water,organic juice through out the detox?
