looked at digestion, probiotics, acid reflux, colon cleansing etc.... Lastly I had a stool test for everything (such as allergies, parasites, etc...) everything looked good except found I had H Pylori. treated it. STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! What the heck is wrong with me? (and dont tell me IBS.
Well, then, some people swear by cleansing and fasting and that sort of thing, clearing out the digestive tract. If you are miserable with your digestion, I can see no harm in giving something like that a shot! Also, I had three docs looking at me when I had IBS, no one knew what it was, and it as ME who figured it out, so I applaud your research into your condition, could be you'll figure it out like I did.
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.
I respectfully disagree with the response that was given to your post. The bacteria in the gut is impacted by numerous factors over our lifetime. Anything from illness to stress to medication use can skew the number and count of bacterial organisms in the intestinal tract. That, in turn, can quickly or more slowly lead to dysfunction.
I believe probiotics can be beneficial for many things, including just general good health.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I suffer from autoimmune thyroiditis, interstitial cystitis, heart palpitations (mostly PVCs and PACs) and Small Intestinal Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), random inflammations that come and go and lots of debilitating symptoms. The above conditions started around the same time, so they seem to be related somehow. I've seen multiple doctors and specialists, but none of them have been able to identify the root cause of all of these conditions.
insoluble fiber DRAWS water into the colon and speeds up intestinal transit time, this results in a softer and larger stool. examples of insoluble fiber are wheat bran, carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, sweet potatoes, spinach and celery. the speeding up of the transit time is good for mega colon, however again you will need to be sure she empties her bowels frequently so the increase in stool size doesn't further stretch her bowel.
therefore moderation is the key.
Probiotics I guess you could try with him *shrugs*... and colon clense like you said. But probiotics...just go to a health food store and ask for some and start using it in both your diets (it won't hurt you)...
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.
