Common Questions and Answers about Colon cleansing and losing weight

Avatar f tn There are liver cleanses, colon cleanses, kidney cleanses -- they can be very good for health, but not very useful for losing weight in a healthy fashion because the weight will just come back as soon as you return to your normal way of eating. The only way to lose weight long-term is to change your metabolism, which doesn't involve calories as much as it involves what you eat and how quickly it turns into sugar and how easily it moves through your digestive system.
Avatar m tn just a question, I was at GNC today and saw a product for colon or gastro cleansing. Has anyone used these, does it work and is it healty?
1378071 tn?1313420821 Has anyone tried the ACIA / COLON cleansing pills, drink whatever.... they say the fat just comes right off?!?! Comeon now... Does that really work, im trying to get opinons before i try it!!!
1454383 tn?1288947277 If this is the Natural Clean I'm thinking of, it's for cleaning drugs out of your system to pass a drug test, not a colon cleanser. Maximum burn is a scam -- acai berry is, like all berries, high in antioxidants, but it won't help you lose weight. Real colon cleansers are based on fiber such as psyllium and some have laxatives in them, which aren't healthy, such as diet teas.
Avatar f tn I would make an appointment with a good naturopath and they will lead you in the right direction. Colon cleansing is great, but it needs to be done correctly and most MD's just don't understand the procedure, etc.
542730 tn?1234673838 He told me a gentle, effective colon cleanse could reduce her weight any where from 10 to 25 pounds. He recommended the ACOG herbal master body and colon cleanse. I took this product home to my wife and I must say, that stuff is the best thing I ever gave my wife. My wife started taking the acog and lost about 23 pounds. In addition to her high energy levels, I noticed a big difference in her mid section which has made me a very happy man.
Avatar m tn Make an appointment with a gastroenterologist. It is costly if you don't have an insurance, regardless of age, if you are in doubt, consult with the Gas.. to have a colon scan. It takes a day of cleansing and a day of check up. Don't wait till too late. Colonsnocopy is suggested to the over 50 but no longer truth. You may develop a polyp in your 20s 30s 40s as well. Check if in doubt. When you see blool in your stool, act quickly. Polyp if not taken care, will turn bad.
Avatar f tn This is going to be late for you, but you should never take liver cleansers while taking medication. What you're describing is a combination colon/liver cleanse. Milk thistle and yellowdock, for example, are liver cleansers, and could theoretically wash some of the medication out of our system, as the body sees virtually all medication as toxic.
Avatar n tn The liquid food in your intestines is pushed through your system right to the ascending colon and past your constipated descending colon out your hinder. Then I hear that you face a bout with constipation= what I'm saying is maybe it's the constipation that's causing the diarrhea, your system is sending water and contractions to force the undigested meats and fats as well as dried feces stuck to your descending colon wall out, in order to make room for incoming nutrients.
Avatar f tn A cleansing diet would be rearranging your entire diet, for a short time or forever, to emphasize cleansing toxins out of your colon, liver, and other organs. The reason you read about fasting a lot is that it's the best cleansing diet there is -- you take in no toxins while your body has the opportunity to clean itself out in the meantime. How long to fast is controversial, but when first starting out it's usually recommended to do one day, then move on later to two, etc.
451343 tn?1256250831 t take over night to get myself in this position, all though it sometimes feels like it happened over night. just want to feel normal what ever that is. wondering about colon cleansing. i have some colon cleansing formula. wondering if i should wait to take them or what. i just feel like invasion of the body snatchers. i want my body back. i let those damn pills rob my body of sooooooooooo much. feeling a bit like a failure. im sure that will pass.
Avatar n tn No scientific evidence supports the alleged benefits of colon cleansing. The bowel itself is not dirty and barring drugs or disease, cleans itself naturally without need for assistance. Some types of colon cleansing present potential hazards also. I would suggest a gastroenterologist’s consultation and getting evaluated for different possibilities.Various other causes that need to be ruled out are over-use of stimulant laxatives (e.g.
Avatar m tn I think it depends on the type of enema. Using enemas frequently for constipation can cause your rectum to "forget" how to have a bowel movement naturally. Using enemas for "colon cleansing", I believe is not good, because your colon doesn't need any cleansing, it does this itself.
Avatar f tn I've heard about so many things you can do to "flush the fat" is there any magic something out there? I eat pretty healthily, It's just been so hard to lose, weingt. I need to lose about 20lbs. I usually don't have the energy to work aout consistently. Can anyone tell me, what can boost my metabolism, burn fat? I've tried some products but they had so much caffeine, I got horribly sick and was very jittery?
787203 tn?1239720933 could this be the cause, if I indeed have a blockage like I have theorized? Can someone give me an educated guess? please please please. I am losing weight so fast, because nothing I eat comes out the other end, I am 5'9" and 105 lbs.
350945 tn?1274423121 okay ya'll, i know some folks don't like to talk about cleaning you colon out, but i'm on to something. so please just read me out. about three weeks ago i was ready to give up on my life, after all i had everything i needed to complete this task right at my finger tips. and decided that i would deal with killing myself, later on. it wasn't about the husband, kids, family or friends (uk2, chrisneedshelp, brandy, cruls, platgirl, softbaygurl, etc.
Avatar n tn This type of diarrhea can be Chrons disease, miscroscopic colitis, diverticulitis and even colon cancer. You need to be evaluated right away, losing weight when not trying is not a good sign.
Avatar m tn my 16 month malamute is losing weight fast, her hair is getting brittle, she has rock hard stools some days and then I get her on mineral oil and the stools straighten out. she has reasonable appetite and her energy is great, she loves to run and run when we take them out for their daily runs, she is only 40 pounds and her litter mates are all at 80 lbs or better. could this be a impacted colon that needs surgery/?
Avatar f tn 100% natural and very effective. Gluten and sugar free, so also good for losing weight.
Avatar n tn have you ever heard of a colonic? it sounds gross but *** cleans your colon and you can lose up to 25pounds your body cant get rid of all the waste and ths helps alot so yu may want to try it.
Avatar m tn I had a similar condition and did 3 months of colon cleansing and my skin is 90% healed. The skin on out the outside indicate what is going on internally. During the cleanse I lost 25lbs because when you're detoxing you are not hungry. Once I understood I had a toxic colon and got into the cleansing with herbs and colonics I felt better and better each month, my energy came back. I am getting to do the liver cleanse which you do after the colon is healthy.
785798 tn?1237898297 Hi Everybody This year is the year that I do not ignore my health so I have been searching the internet to try and find something that can help me cleanse my stomach and intestines to bring them back up to optimal working order. In my search I have come across a product called Okra Pepsin E3 and I have read on some forums that this is a product that if it is the only thing that you do for your health then this is what you should do.
Avatar m tn I take meds to slow down my colon then I drink nutrional drinks. And it works for me. I keep losing weight though. I hope I helped.
Avatar n tn Being tired and wanting to sleep after surgery is not uncommon, however if the surgery involved losing a small portion of your colon and a resection for something like diverticulitis you shouldn't be horrendously exhausted after 4 weeks. You're not going to be 'running around' at the pace you did previously, but you should be doing well. But it will also depend on you pre-surgical health history, medical condition, age and a number of other parameters.
