colon cleaning

Has anyone done the colon cleansing since surgery and is it safe?

Just a few days ago this exact question was asked with one truly brilliant response that our bodies are designed that are colon is perfectly capable of maintaining balance all by itself.   

No,  if you search "colon cleansing" on the internet, there are all these products that remove toxin waste, etc.  It is frighting when reading some of the testimonals.  These products are made up of herbal products.  They indicate they will help weight loss, fatigue, bloating, gas, constipation, etc.   Check it out...

Sorry, I'm able to relieve fatigue, bloating, gas and constipation and save money by eating right.  Testimonials are just that, not medical evidence.  I can post anything I want on the internet it does not have to be true.

You don't mean a colonoscopy, right?

I asked a similar question I think last week.  After getting lots of negative replies I decided to do a little digging on Pro-biotic information.  I have had horrible constipation for over 2 months and horrible gas as well.  Hence the reason for the pro-biotic info search.

I am very happy to report that taking 2 a day has helped me tremendously.  One in the morning and one in the evening. There are some of us that can eat right every day of our lives, but constipation can become a problem due to several reasons.  Mine was mainly due to pain medications that I have to take due to Multiple Sclerosis issues.  I drink a minimum of 120 ounces a day too btw.

My best suggestion is to look into trying the pro-biotics.  It's basically like yogurt in a pill.  I found mine at Wal-green's, and they were not expensive.  I feel confident they can be found about anywhere vitamins are sold.

I suppose I should have asked up front if you were having issues, or if you were just intrigued with the colon cleansing?  Either way, I hope the information about the pro-biotics helps!

Good luck!
