Icky subject-----colon cleaning

Anyone done one since surgery. I saw a show yesterday that freaked me out and that our bodys at any time have 10-15 lbs of fecal matter in it and I want it out...Can we do a colon cleanse??? Patti

Don't know why I know this - but there's a place downtown that does them. Colleen

I was thinking I would take a pill, I could not see myself going to anyone to do that for me...ewwwww!!! LOL Patti

EWWWWWW!!!! That sounds like a Dr. Bour question..... Isn't that what you do right before you have a colonoscopy? (sp?) Rachel

You can always pick up a jug of...get this..."GOlytle" at CVS. That is what alot of docs order before a colonoscopy or a bottle of magnesium citrate. Both can be purchased at any drug store. I must warn you to BEWARE. I would never...in a million years....drink either unless I absolutely had to! Love ya!!! Melissa

Thanks for the advise. I have a friend who took pills she got a Gardners and said it was not too bad. She just worried with the bypass if it would be a problem to take. Listen, I am not goin to be able to go out to eat after, I have to pick Kayla up from sign language class tonight, if you were going to bring those clothes you told me about last week, I will get them fro you at the office ok? Love ya Patti

Maybe I can meet you one day this week for lunch and bring them to you. There is a terrible stomach bug trying to make its way thru my house. I am stuck here with the sickheads!!! I have 2 right now and my son said his stomach was upset all day at school!!!! Melissa

I hope everyone gets better soon! Let me know when you can meet, lunch would be just great! I can get the clothes anytime, I thought you were coming tonight. We did not stay for the meeting, Dr. Russell announced he is leaving and we are getting a female therapist or whatever. My daughter did not go to sign language class after all. I missed all of you guys! Me, John, my brotha from anotha mutha Scott, Diane,Mel and Colleen had a nice time. Patti

Well, some of the pills can swell in your tummy, so also read up on that. I also wanted to do this, but when I had a test, they said the cit. mag. but it is fizzy, so no fizzy drinks. I just use MOM each day after I eat dinner if I feel full and consitpated, and it works for me. Also, eating lots of grapes, well, as much as you can.....and water, and dried prunes, will also clean you out but good. Deb
