I have IBS and IBD (proctitis -constipation with 2-3 healthy bowel movements (BM) a week). I have not had a regular bowel moment in 4 months. I eat a high fiber diet, no caffine only water. I recently went almost 2 weeks without a BM. I took 2 Xstrength EXlax, metamucil, 2 enemas and one bottle of Fleet and nothing came out. I had xrays and it showed that I have massive constipation. I am seeing a specialist next month.

I have been on a 3 month colon cleansing system for two weeks, taking 3 240mg stool softeners per day and still nothing. I have developed lower back pain and find it hard to stand straight or lay flat. I am always hungry and no matter how much sleep I get I am always tired. I have a 4-5 gumball pellets BM every couple of days – I think there is no room for the food I eat so some has to come out. Also have rectal bleeding – no hemmoroids. I have lost a couple of pounds. Bad stomach cramps.

Any suggestions on what may be wrong or what I can do?

Okay – so I’m 50/50 on the whole colon cleansing….I was strongly for it earlier today – but now after reading some more – I’m doubting…..

For medical professionals – What is that "stuff" that is coming out of people’s colons?!? Is it waste? It looks nasty….and personally – I don’t want that in me……but what EXACTLY is it?!?

Tell me if your info is a Theory or Fact and from where you get your information…..do that – and you’ll get best answer!
I guess I should’ve been more specific….
that stringy stuff that you see in pictures from Dr. Natura’s website…etc….what is it actually?!? I hear "waste" etc – but I’ve also read that it’s fibers of the cleansing system that are for lack of a better word "put" together in the digestive track….Just wondering if anybody knows what that nasty stringy stuff is!!

I suffer from IBS and I feel that’s why I have alot of weight issues. I am 36 and have had three children, but it just seems like my weight keeps climbing. I’ve tried adding fiber to my diet as the doctor suggested but that doesn’t always work. I’ve been using a product called Dr. Natura as a natural colon cleansing system which has provided me with some interesting results. I have so far lost 9.5 lbs. in a two week period. Not bad but this product is expensive and I don’t want to have to use something forever. I also don’t know how safe it is to continue to use a product like this. (It’s a three part system, which includes capsules you take to kill the parasites, a powder you mix in juice (the fiber part), and a detoxifier tea).

Just ordered this colon cleansing system to help rejuvenate my body. Has anyone had positive results? If not, what results did you get?

Its March . Im trying to lose 40 pounds by June.. I know about exercise and eating right so please don’t tell me that, I;m not looking for that. I already go to the gym.. I;ve talked to ppl and they suggest a colon cleanse. i am thinking about trying the "Lemonade diet" is this a good colon cleansing system? What are some good colon cleansing products?

I heard that colon cleansers not only help you cleanse your system but also you may lose a little bit of weight in your belly, I for one know that i need it for cleansing, i dont have regular bowel movements usually twice – three times a week for me, i know if i take a cleansing system i can get all this junk out of my system, i would like to know if anyone has tried any of this methods and does it work and have you lost weight! Please dont give a lecture on eating right and seeing a doctor, i just want to know about what is the good brand to use and if it works.

A co worker is advocating a colon cleansing system, drnatura.com, and says that he no longer takes any meds, and even stopped taking insulin shots. Colon cleansing etc, scam or real?

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.
