so i am about to start this master cleanse tomorrow im doing it because i want to rid my body and colon of impurities and to lose weight i work out for about 1-2 hours a day ( just starting) will this help me get back in to shape as well as cleanse my body???? opinions anyone =)

I just read that Julia from Channel 6News did this diet and she loved it. So I want to try it. The thing is, I’m nursing my son. He’s 11 months so hopefully will be weaning soon (hes going in for tubes in his ears, and possibly his adnoids and tonsils out, so I wont be forcing the weaning till after hes better)

I want to know tho, is the acai trim and colon healing safe for me to take when Im nursing. Ive heard that because the acai is natural, its okay for him, but any additives they put in it (for weight loss) may effect him.

I def don’t want to be using something that can effect/hurt him. But we’re going on vacation this summer and I REALLY want to loose some weight. Ive tried eating healthy and exercise, but its just not cutting it. Plus I cant seem to get in enough time to exercise with my kids. 5 min here and there isn’t enough, and if I try for more, then my son cries and wants me.

I know I should talk to his dr to make sure. But I wsa wondering if anyone on here knows the answer.
thanks.
btw I’m going to post this in a few areas since Im not sure where it should go.

i dont have any really bad symptoms yet, but ive suffered from chronic constipation ever since i can remember. im 20, i eat pretty good foods, drink lots of fluids (waters, juices, sometimes diet sodas), and work-out regularly. i don’t smoke or drink or do drugs. ive never had any really bad health problems except for this constipation. cancer doesnt run in my family either.
i am afraid to take laxatives because i dont want to get addicted to them.
how much at risk am i to get colon cancer? what can i do to stop being so constipated? ive tried eating lots of fiber and drinking lots of water but it only works sometimes.
please help!

My mom (who just turned 57 on Wednesday) was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer (spreading to her liver) on Friday. I’m taking her for her colonoscopy tomorrow.

Ok, so I have 6 weeks to lose as much weight as I can…so this is going to be the inconventional way. I don’t usually do this..but it’s an emergency weight loss thing.

My idea is…1,200 calories a day…1-2 hours of working out per day. I will be getting colon therapy to flush my system and get me energized..and to kick start things..I’m going to do a lemon cleanse thing for 4 days. That’s all. Just to flush and refresh me. I’ll be drinking caffeine free teas and a special lemonade drink.

After that my idea is to cut out sugar COMPLETELY from my diet. And I need tips on realllllllllly healthily "gross" food. Haha..basically..I’m thinking TONS of veggies…some fruits..the only grains I can have is plain oatmeal…no caffeine…only water or caffeine free tea without sugar….

But I remember my Dad , when he dieted, would just eat tuna out of the can..etc. I’m looking as these next 6 weeks as just eating food to survive. I don’t care if it tastes good..I just want to be able to get enough that my body needs and stay within 1,200 calories. Tips?? or do I have it mostly down? Did I forget anything?

I’m 5’4 198…and looking to get down to 170ish in 6 weeks. I don’t think it’s healthy to go further than that…20-25 pounds is enough. They say to only lose up to 2 pounds a week..but I’m really heavy so losing more isn’t going to kill me. Before, I would consume 1,600 a day and I lost 2.5 a week starting from 198 and got to 173..and I didn’t workout at ALL..so I already know I can lost 2.5 pounds EASILY without even trying that hard…per week.

So this diet is the Acai berry + colon clense pills weight loss thing. So i will be doing both pills together each day. This is how i found out…

http://dailyconsumeralerts.com/diet/LoseWeight/?&t202id=300079&t202kw=Top300x250&match=WL_1&c3=

I am convinced it will work but i want to make sure this is SAFE for a teen. Is this safe for a 14 year old?

Also what do i eat while taking the pills? Do i eat what ever i want?

Lets start be saying im 25, female, 2 kids, 5’5, 148lbs. I wear a size 3 or 5 in jeans depending on the make. All my extra fat is above my waist line, and in my face too. I have a lot of fat hanging from on stomach. I bought the ab circle pro last night but also wanted a diet plan but having a hard time choosing one. I have a goal of losing 35 pounds. I have been walking 2.5 miles in 30 mins a day for almost 3 months and have seen no results from that other than energy. I have also thought about using the acui berry and colon cleanser. Any help would be great.

I know for the past few years I have bnot been eating healthy. (A lot of Junk Food). I want to change my lifestyle now that I am 22. I hear that eating Oatmeal in the morning is he best because it will clean my colon and take away cholestorol.

Besides that, I cannot focus that much on my studies. I believe my poor diet for the past few years is a big factor in this.

How do i make oatmeal in the morning? Can you tell me step by step how to make a good tasting oatmeal in the morning?

Plus tell me the benefits?

An 11 year old who weighs about 106 lbs.
Breakfast – half a cup of special K cereal (with no milk) with orange juice
Lunch – a banana
Dinner – a bowl of macaroni & cheese
That’s all my sister eats all day and sometimes desert is a piece of cake. She thinks she’s fat (*rolls eyes*) but is she? And is that diet healthy? She’s a picky eater, the only vegetable she eats is potatoes and the only fruit is bananas and sometimes apples. Over the summer she’s been eating only about half a bowl of macaroni at dinner though. Is it healthy? I don’t want her to get some weird colon disease or something and SHE doesn’t want to get "fat" Thanks.
She doesn’t eat meat, except chicken. Sometimes she has chicken nuggets for dinner, too.
I don’t know HOW I got 106 lbs. She’s about 85, which was the last time we checked her weight, but now she might be a little heavier sense we did that. So she eats mashed potatoes with her dinner too, and for lunch we’ll get her to eat something.

Starting tomorrow I will begin this diet:
Day 1 and 2: eat nothing but fruits and and water/lemon water
Day 3 and 4: add vegetables to your fruit menu and nothing but water/lemon water
Day 5 and 6: do the same thing with days 1-4
Day 7: add meat and bread into your menu include a light desert.
Water/lemon water only
I’ll do this everyday but alternate it.
I’m not eating more than 1,200 calories a day.
I’m also taking a colon cleanse everyday.
For my exercise:
I have this book where it gives me exercises to do. I’ll also be running/walking.

Will I lose weight? If so how much?

my ol’ lady’s really into oral but there’s always food involved.. she’s taking lipitor for her cholesterol.. and i try to enforce my raw veggie diet on her 5 days a week…. but.. she wants to continue the oral gratification with fatty foods..

tonight she really insists on chocolate reddie whip and extra sharp cheddar easy cheese.. yeh, i may get a kick outta it but.. .that stuff’s big time inflammatory processed food and can wreak havoc on the circulatory system or a long time and impact colon health…

yeh, ok it’s sex.. but… too often this happens and i’m not doing a good job keeping her diet in check.

(she’s due or a stress test in april… (she had a clot 2 yrs ago… it was taken care of via diet.. thankfully.. but now it’s champagne and tastey treats…. 2 times a week which still has a HUGE negative effect on the body.)

any tips? tricks? even diet processed foods are BAD or you… and marital aid elements are also nasty for the body…

?
i can do without the food all over my damned body but she gets a real kick out of it.
i put this in the women’s health section because it’s more viable.. this is more or less a query for how to break this junky food sex or? someone with ideas pertinent where she can have her fun with food without clogging up herself with inert material.

She is 79 yrs old. After surgery they did not remove the large mass on her sigmoid colon because it was to vascular to remove and she would more than likely bleed to death if they tried. It will be one week since her surgery and she is still very very weak, gets out of breath with us daughters helping her to bathroom. Even when they gave her a portable pottychair to use she gets severely cold and clammy, extramely nausous, shivers, very rapid heartbeat, and has a hard time taking a breath. When she tries to speak to us during these attacks of her sitting up moving around, she is so winded and it takes so much just to finish a single sentence. Mom is very anemic and her heme count dropped to a 7.2 she will not accept any blood transfusuions due to her beliefs religious wise and the past few days docs given her iron pills and that has raised her count to a 9.4 but its still low…. Her tummy is still so very bloated and her urin output is not that much even though they are pumping her with several IV fluid bags. Could it be the cancer is just wiping her out she is not on any chemo yet. We are trying to figure out WHY she is so winded, weak and slightly feverish at times … clammy, chills… Could it be her heart they have not noticed yet?.. OR is this a common reaction after this type of surgery? We are aware that the Doctors told us without the surgery, she probly wouldnt have lived more than 2 weeks. But since she had the surgery, it may extend her time who knows.. is this symptoms of the end her weakness?? They placed her on a clear diet but she does not eat any of that.. no broth jello or anything but a sip of water or two thats it. she has been without food for 14 days now… but what can we do or possibly suggest to the doctors do to help her in this situation? Cancer has masestize to her liver and lungs i forgot to mention above. Anyone who has had a loved one with the same symptoms that she is going through please let me know how I can help her, what can we do, and how much longer did they live after going through these symptoms after surgery? I want to keep her as long as possible but I need to make her as comfy as possible. I wonder why her tummy is swelling up again??? Anybody with ideas or experience I apreciate your help. God Bless

My cat has problems with his lower colon and gets constipated to the point where he needs an enema about twice a year. Long story short-his doctor recommends lactalose and prescription diet w/d, and I am fine with administering the lactalose but HATE prescription diet foods-god awful foods and way too expensive for what you get. Is there anything that anyone can recommend that I supplement that will help keep his poop flowing well without recommending terrible dog foods (ie grocery store foods). He is currently on EVO.

I just got off of a 10 day colon cleanser, about 4 days ago. I was wondering if there is a waiting period. I plan on the diet for 14 days. I just want to know if its safe to go on it after already have doing a colon cleanser, that did not work.
lol i love how no one ever answers my questions, just gives me different answers to things I dont care about. The question that I want answered is the one I asked. I dont need other opinions on other things… thanks.

I had my daughter 2 years ago got up to 211 from 125lbs never had a problem with my weight could eat anthing my heart desired and never gained weight now that i haven’t been able to loose weight with any diet pill, program, exercise, not to mention every test that could be ran by my primary dr has been ran and all normal, I was recommende to go see a homeapathic dr that told me my liver was backed up, my colon was backed up there was something going on with my small instestine- lrg intestine "parasites" ewww! my kiddneys were dehydrated and so on i have recently stoped eating meat i never really cared for it and just decided to stop eating it all together so i eat subs with all veges i love pasta and she tells me im eating stuff that i shouldn’t that i need to go on a blood type diet im 0+
that consist of eating meat no bread no strawberrys no pasta all ther things i love except the meat the type o diet is rediculus wxspecially when my husband is a+ and i have a 2year old! So what im really trying to get at is do you think that the blood type diet works or if i just eat the right things at portion control would be just as good?

I am 16 years old, a couch potato but I jump on a trampoline every day to every other day, a tend to stand alot but mostly sit down. i must say i do have a bad diet, when school let out i came to my cousins where they only have 1 meal a day and ive been here for almost 4 weeks and have lost 20 pounds! i thought it was because i was staying over here but i was a little suspicious since i have not lost a pound in years. for the past 2 months i have had blood in my stool and becuase it was hard i suspected it was a hemmorhoid and then it just stopped about a week ago altogether. just yesterday my right side around the bottom of my right rib cage started having minor pains so i looked it up and read it could be colorectal or colon cancer. can you guys help me. im about to cry and im only 16. i dont want to die young. i was about to ask out a girl that means the world to me around the time i went back to school and i dont think i can be with her if i find out i cant spend the rest of my life with her. shes my everything. <3

Ok so for the past 4-5 months i have been having abnormal bowel movements, and when i say abnormal i mean this is coming from a guy who could time when a bowel movement was coming and it was always a helthy amonunt and twice a day!…. but i had changed ALOT of habbits from different jobs, stress of moving alot, finacial things, not eating the way i used to. now i have had periods of constipation, very small stools, lately small stools, after small bowel movement, i still feel unsatisfied, i dont eat healthy anymore, but for the past week ive been trying other things like salads and high fiber breakfast, i only eat twice a day, morning and when i get home from work at 11 pm. i know i dont have healthy meals at all usually what ever im grabing out of the fridge i see, for instance, a can of diced pinapples, make a pbj sandwhich with a high fiber bread and a yogurt…. i know i know…and in the mornins is waffles (2 of them) or just oatmeal, or pb sandwhich… i also work in a bakery/deli/prep food area like a publix. so i nibble here and there on things, sweets, onion rings, cookie. Iam 21, 6’2” and 220, over the past 2 months i have gain 10-15 pounds…. i also always feel like something is bloking my rectum, i have examined my self (it sucks! dont do it unless you have too) i didnt "feel" any blockage, very smooth, no pain when i was examining around the rectum area, but why am i feeling this way? i checked colon cancer syptoms and i feel like i dont have much in common with the syptoms but just a few things. i get bloated sometimes some sharp pains just below the center of my rib cage, i also have stopped working out as well, ive tried to put more fluids back into my diet, but 4-5 months man? i hope i dont have anything serious to worrie about, if i do i have no health insurance, yet, iam waiting on my 90 day to get it through my work, and dont even make enough to cover all the bills, if it wasnt for the help of my gf. but shes not thinking anything of my syptoms,, and thats another thing, she eats the same way i do and shes fine!?!!? i dont get it,,, please help!

also before this problems started i was eating at least 3 meals a day, cereal in the morning or oat meal,(this was about a year ago when i was a contractor workin out side every day, now im inside not doing much!!!!!) subway for lunch, and usually a normal dinner that consisted of a meat with vegtables, and a starch…example steak with green beans and mashed potatos… now i have plumitted from that habbit… should i go back to that or no bc im not as active?

lol, what i was saying is that we have had the same diet bc we live together, but this diet of eating unhealthy is affecting me but not her

I’ve been constipated over two weeks now. At first I was having the feeling I really had to go, but when I would sit down it wouldn’t come out. I barely had a single bowel movement where I passed thin, soft stools. My diet consisted of eggs, whole wheat bread/pasta, brown rice, bananas, chicken, steak and at close to a gallon of water everyday. I took two laxatives and nothing.

I saw my doctor briefly, and she said all the foods I’ve been eating are binding and cause constipation. She told me to pick up fiber pills, a stool softener, and a laxative. I had one very brief, watery stool while I was also drinking plenty of water in a short period of time.

This just doesn’t feel like regular constipation. Now I don’t even get the feeling where it’s all rushing to leave my body, like I really have to go to the bathroom.

My stools seemed regular color, no blood, but I hear that’s not in all cases of colon cancer.

Aside from regular constipation, the ONLY other diagnosis I see that has almost every symptom I have is colon cancer.

I’m 23 years old, no family history of colon cancer, non smoker.

About a year ago I was very constipated and had trouble passing a larger stool. After, I developed what I though were hemorrhoids or a fissure. I would go to the bathroom and feel a very quick sharp pain followed by a tiny bit of blood on the tissue when I would wipe.

This happened on and off for quite some time but has not happened in the last few months.

About 3 weeks ago I started noticing my stools have been much looser than normal. The amount has not increased. I go once a day and it’s basically really soft and breaks into maybe 5-7 pieces in the water. They are usually soft but not that soft.

I went to the doctor. She did a rectal exam as well as a FOBT test (tested stool for blood). The FOBT was negative and my rectal exam checked out fine.

She said she though it might be a mild virus or IBS and is having me change my diet a little. I did but it hasn’t helped much. Although I’ve been very worried this past week.

I’v been reading so much into this. About people being misdiagnosed, the FOBT being wrong, people getting this cancer young. It’s really got me TERRIFIED.

Do you think this is cancer or not? I have no other symptoms.

I have heard of the supposed awesome powers of the acai, a substance (I think a fruit….?) found deep in the rain forest. Well my scam alert sure went off at that cliche sales pitch. But supposedly it works like a charm.
Is this a safe dependable diet?
Does it really have the health effects it advertises?
Where is a SAFE AND DEPENDABLE dealer of this substance?
Is it a fruit ?
Is best to take in powder, pill or juice form?
I heard that it works extra well when a colon cleanse supplement is used in addition to the acai? If so where is a SAFE AND DEPENDABLE dealer of a colon cleanse supplement?

Thanks soooo much! Any links would be very much aappreciated

I have been having persistent diarrhea for months. I have been to doctor, and she wanted me to try some diet things, fiber and such. Then if that didn’t help was going to refer me to gastroenterologist.

Well, in between those 2 visits, I had my yearly mammo and was diagnosed with stage IIb invasive ductal carcinoma. I had a bilateral mastectomy and I am currently in chemo. I am also HER2+++ so, I am being treated for that as well.

Still having serious diarrhea issues, though and oncologist sent me to GI doc and I had a colonoscopy yesterday. No polyps, but he said my sigmoid was very inflammed and he sent off biopsies.

Obviously, I am worried. Is it possible to still have colon canacer without him finding any poyps or growths?

I am savvy enough to use Google, I was just hoping for some personal experience. Thank you for any answers.
