What does this mean it mean if colon cleanse isn't working?
I started taking 3 diet pills. one of the is a colon cleanse. the others just support fat loss. But I’ve been on the colon cleanse and its made me feel worse. I had very bad diarrhea, and sometime I have no control over my bowel movements. I have to go at least 6 or 7 times a day. Ive been on it for a week, and i expected to feel better after a few days because ive always had some stomach troubles…what does it mean, if my digestive system has gotten worse?
I have not lost any weight, i stay at the same weight all day, everyday. in fact ive gained weight and look more bloated.
hey just wanted to let you know, i am too on aclai berry and CLA. still nothing

I hate to inform you of this but colon cleansing is a myth, it’s a gimmick designed by pill pushers and diet guru’s to make money. All a Colon cleanse pill does it work like a laxative and give you diarrhea. There is no magic pill to make your colon healthy, it is designed to do the job just fine with out help. If you want to make your colon more efficient then just eat plenty of fiber, drink lots of water, and occasionally eat some yogurt because the healthy bacteria in it are good for the colon. Just because something is all natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Nasty bugs like Ecoli and Salmonella are natural and they make you sick.
EDIT: Take it from a health care professional, colon cleanse is bunk, eat plenty of fiber, drink water, and eat some yogurt thats all your colon needs. And if you want to lose weight don’t take pills, just exerscise and watch what you eat. thats all it takes.
EDIT 2: Anthony you are not a licensed medical professional and therefore your opinion on what needs to go into the body is just that an opinion. Most colon cleansers contain herbs and spices found in your kitchen and are not meant to be taken in super doses to clean your colon. Also Toxins are a myth as well, the colon is essentially an enclosed tube with 2 openings the mouth and anus it is meant to be all enclosed and work all by itself. IT DOES NOT NEED HELP!! If you are having issues with bowel movments and abdominal pain go to a DOCTOR!! You could have everything from IBS to Diverticulitis and may actually need medicine or an abdominal MRI not a magic pill of herbs to make you better. Also i am not saying taking a colon cleanse is bad i’m saying its pointless and a waste of money. And it could cause an underlying medical condition to get bad and make matters worse. Oh and of course a GNC manager would be pushing colon cleanse if everyone figured out how pointless it is he would be out of a job,lol.
Perhaps you are suffering side effects from your diet pills.
If you want to promote a healthy digestive environment perhaps you could take a table spoon of high strength liquid chlorophyll every day.
Cut down the dosage of the colon cleanse and try taking just one serving right before bed. Either get on a good Multi Enzyme blend or a high powered Acidophilus, or both. I manage a General Nutrition Center and this is usually what I recommend all my customers doing, weather they are having problems taking a colon cleanser or not. It is essential to balance out the good and bad bacteria in the body when your doing a cleanse. As far as the weight loss goes, give it some time. Eat 5-6 small meals a day, incorporating a little bit protein at each meal. Try to take in your fruit and carbohydrates towards the begging half of the day, that will give your body time to process the sugar and the carbs rather than storing them as fat at the end of the day. Protein is definitely a must immediately after any exercise. The protein will help tone and heal the muscles after a workout.. Even if your not looking to add on a whole lot muscle, the more toned your muscles get.. the more fat it will help burn.
Hope this helps.
*AND YES EVEN THOUGH THERE IS GOOD BACTERIA IN YOUR COLON IT IS STILL BENEFICIAL TO DO A CLEANSE. (that’s what the acidopilus is for,to help balance the bacteria in the body) WE AS A SOCIETY CONSUME SOO MANY TOXINS ON A DAILY BASIS ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. FROM OUR APPLES SPRAYED WITH CHEMICALS AND OUR FOOD GROWN WITH PESTICIDES WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE UNWANTED TOXINS IN THE SYSTEM.
Don’t let anyone tell you that its "bad" to use a colon cleanser. As long as your not taking too high of a dose you’ll be fine.
