I have already tried laxatives, laxative w/ stool softeners, and Miralax, is there anything natural I could take or maybe a combination of a few things? I feel bloated all the time and when I do have a bowel movement it seems incomplete. I would like to know how to cleanse my colon, but the natural way.

Could I cleanse my colon within 2 or 3 días of fruit/vegetable fasting and by taking a Senna tea laxative every night?

I have cronic constipation though I live a healthy lifestyle and follow a very healthy diet now but I am bloated most days and want to sort of "re-start" by colon cleansing.

Can somebody please recomend a good laxative to clean my intestines that works quick?, thanks…

I just completed a colon cleanse with a kit from Blessed Herbs with laxative herbs, psyillium and powdered bentonite. My skin has been cleared and I feel more energetic after the cleanse and now, I’ve also been eating better with high fiber diet and lots of clean water.

I was quite regular prior to the cleanse with 1 bowel movement every day. After the cleanse, I am regular but frequently get 2-3 BMs a day. Problem is, I cannot understand why my stools are now so much thinner, but long. Prior to the cleanse, I had fatter, shorter stools.

Is there a chance that the psyllium/bentonite got stuck in my intestines or some other obstruction? I’ve also done a couple of enemas but my stools remain thin ( around 3/4 inch ) and long. I’m not constipated and I pass stools easily.

Will somebody who has knowledge of what’s going on put my mind at ease? I really don’t know how to deal with it if I got something stuck in my colon.

I am doing the Master Cleanse or Lemon Cleanse and it recommends taking a laxative as well since you aren’t consuming any fiber, you need to be able to have a bowel movement. I was thinking about just adding Miralax to my first drink in the morning. Would this work?
I just started it today! So we will see how it goes. My husband did it for 5 days about a year ago and it made him feel great. They say to do 10 days but that seems a little excessive to me.

I have bad constipation. Just this morning I went. it hurt so bad but I went. I have already been to the doctor and they gave me a Fleet Enema and some laxative drink that had a lemon taste to it. Anyway, now I have really painful rectal pain. I just wanna know how long it wil last and what kind of creams or anything can I use in the process of healing?

Soo… some people say you should have them every day huh? Well, I have to say that I have one EVERY NOW AND THEN… Im talking days inbetween, possibly weeks. I haven’t ever really kept track but I have thought about doin so b/c no one really believes me. I just don’t "go" and I was wondering if any of you out there think I should be concerned. Better yet, what might cause this.

I am just at a loss for words. Im not that sensitive to any certain foods either so I can’t use that as a laxative. Apple juice does nothing. I drank a couple laxative teas one time to do a cleanse and that didnt even work.

I’ve only taken one laxative pill in my life and will never do that again! I had thee worst cramps I have ever had. I would have much rather been dead.

Anyone else out there like this?

I am 17 years old, I have been having digestive problem over the past year. I don’t have a bowel movement after 1 pm, and the size of my stool decrease in size after a bowel movement. No pain, No inflammation. Its very difficult for me to have a bowel movement after the morning. Before all this, i had a bowel movement after eating. My digestive system was great , but not now. I consume a lot of fiber all the days. About 25-30 grams of fiber with some organic food in the day. I want to cleanse my colon for then my digestive system can return to normal function. I went to my doctor and she told me that i was ok, my digestive system is not good. But this is not the case. I tried Activia, it didn’t work for me, but i just liked the taste. I do try i can do a flush out with fruits and vegetable because i’ll lose weigh easily because i play soccer. I’m 5,7 about 130-135 pounds. I have been thinking of a natural colon cleanse supplement. But i don’t know with one. Does anybody know of a good colon cleanse? Is it a laxative? Or is there anyway to cleanse my colon? Not a week diet because i tried it and it didn’t try, it only made my weigh drop dramatically.

Thank you for all your help. God be with you.
If you bowel one time a day, its not ok, before this year all my life, i had 3 bowel movements a eat after eating. That means its ok.

Symptoms Include:
- Abdominal Pain/Discomfort
- Change in Bowl Stuff (constipation/the big D)
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Blood on Toliet Paper (back end)
- Fever that comes and goes
- Lower back discomfort (I do have scoliosis, but it’s never felt like this)
- Pain in abdomin feels like I’m hungry/full/or very uncomfortable
- Wakes me up at night for no reason
- Restless
- Trouble going to bathroom because it hurts (my rear end)

I have X-Rays on Friday that were clear except for the fact I had some stool backed up in my colon. So, I was put on a laxative to clean it out. I’ve been on it for 2 days, but I still have the pain. Ultra Sound showed nothing either. If this pain isn’t gone by Monday, we’re scheduling the test where I drink barium and they do X-Ray’s. Please tell me what you think this is. I was afraid it was Colon Cancer because my grandfather had it and I know Crohn’s Disease (sometimes) goes with Colon Cancer. Could it be that?

Don’t say "go to the Doc/ER".
No, this has been going on for a month and slowly, but surely, has progressed towards worse.

I have been very prepared to get my first colonoscopy over with this morning. However, I began the mandatory colon cleansing around 6 pm last night and experienced no bowel movement whatsoever. I followed the MoviPrep instructions exactly and absolutely nothing. I poop all the time (diarrhea) and then they tell me to down some heavy duty laxative that tastes like salt and this doesn’t make me go! What the hell is going on?

I took a laxative about 2 months ago to clear up my first case of constipation since I was a kid (I’m coming up on 30). Ever since then I’ve felt like there is something lodged in my descending colon. I went to see the doctor about it out of fear that I had colorectal cancer. They performed a colonoscopy and nothing showed up, no polyps or even hemrroids. I don’t have diahrrea or excessive gas, so it isn’t IBS. The doctor seems to think that it’s my diet. But I eat healthy and have never had this problem before. Now I have a constant feeling of pressure/discomfort in my descending colon and never goes away. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.
This is a serious question. Those of you who bring up gay sex and hamsters will be promptly reported.

Colonoscopy test scheduled for next week. Keep hearing how bad the Golytely Laxative Preparation is. Do you have any tips or good ideas on how make it easy to drink? The idea of drinking this stuff makes sick to think about it. Sorry.

Thanks very much, in advance for your suggestions.

I already have, and they just did X-Ray’s and assumed that the pain was caused by the constipation.

I was going to try the Acai diet, but had a look on the Holland & Barret website and found it in the colon cleansing section, does this mean that it is a laxative?

Need to cleanse colon, but don’t want to use a laxative. Need to know what is the best colon cleanser you can get.

I am 15 years old, and need to know about a natural bowel cleansing idea.

I have a bad stomach/intestines. I have gastritis, inflammation of my colon, erosion, and ‘white scarring,’and pain, and no prescribed medicine has treated any of these symptoms. I used to have to get an endo- and colonoscopy monthly to check up on my backed up bowels and etc. Since then, I haven’t been able to use any laxative to help clean me out.

There is a gross tasting lemon-like formula available at a pharmacy or store, I think it’s liquid magnesium, the doctor made me drink two bottles of it before the procedure, and it made stool liquid until it was gone…but I think I had to take a pill with it, and I don’t know where to get the liquid, and if I have to be a certain age. Now I obv. can’t get the pill because I don’t see the doc. anymore.

Is there any liquid or pill that I can take available to 15 year olds to help cleanse my bowels in the span of 1 to 2 days w/ fasting? (Not a continual med.)
The reason I want to know is because although there is no discomfort, I have "constipation," I only go to the bathroom a couple times a week. And I like the feeling of being clean, my intestines feel nice, haha. But also, my Mom thinks what I want to do is gross…so I need alternative help or recommendations!
I have a gastroenterolgoist, but she isn’t very experienced. And, she no longer wants to see me because she thinks it’s rheumatology/immunology related. I can’t get another one, there is none close. I don’t have a good doctor, so I can’t get far there….I wish I was older so I could drive where I needed to and fend for myself! Once I’m 16 or 17 I will deff. look for new doctors. Thankyou for your concern and answers. Unfortunately, I guess I probably won’t be able to cleanse my bowels on my own :/
