Avatar f tn Simplest cleanse is fasting, but cleansing what? 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.
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?
Avatar n tn If colon cleansing was beneficial, why wouldn’t our doctors order them?
Avatar m tn Colon cleanse and acia berry concoctions can be very dangerous and I suggest getting a doctor's ok before using any products of this type.
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 am just worried, because basically the only thing that I do not have in terms of polyps is bloody stools, and the only thing aside from that for cancer is weight loss, and I am sure that if I continue to not eat enough, I will lose weight..
5766249 tn?1375776295 Here I would like to know some diet tips which are helpful for avoiding colon problems. When a person is in diet for weight loss what kind of foods a victim need to take to get rid of the colon issues. Are those foods show their effect in weight weight loss journey? Please let me know.
Avatar f tn It is a good general rule that if you intend to cleanse, and you want to do it a nutritional, safe, healthy way, make sure your cleanse program has the following qualities: 1. Nutrition. Unless you intend to do a fast, which is completely separate from a nutritional cleanse, you'll want to go with a detox program that values nutrition and contains daily vitamins, protein, fruits and vegetables, and other healthy foods.
Avatar f tn No, not just for a colonoscopy. The colon cleansing done for a colonoscopy is very quick acting and very strong pharmaceutical products, not what is used in natural colon cleansing, which takes longer and is usually much gentler. If it works too quickly, yes, you'll get dehydrated, but colon cleansing does help rid the body of toxins that stick to the walls of the digestive system. One way to do this is to fast; no food in, food out.
Avatar f tn I am currently taking Zoloft for depression and anxiety and am preparing to do a detox colon cleanse. Is it safe to do a all natural herbal detox colon cleanse while on Zoloft as long as the Zoloft is taken a few hours apart from all other supplements?
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.
451343 tn?1256250831 A word about the colon cleansing. It is usually a good thing to do. But maybe not right now. When you are doing a cleansing, you are in the bathroom quite a bit and that is probably already going on? Also, any kind of detoxing like a metals detox or Candida detox usually makes you feel pretty sick while you are going through it. Because it brings up all the toxins in your body and tries to eliminate them. Either through the skin, itchy rashes or the bathroom thing.
569755 tn?1220872102 But this is considered the number one colon cleansing program in the world, and is very safe. There is a FAQ page on the site that answers the majority of questions regarding the cleanse if you would like to inquire further. Anyway, I hope you find a cure, whether it be this program or not (although I personally recommend it), and the link is posted below. See ya! drnatura.
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 Who here thinks cleansing diets are good for your health and who here thinks they are a load of hogwash? I have read a few medical evaluations about "liver flushes" saying that whatever was "passed" consisted of solidified ingredients that were used during the cleanse. Other evaluations say they were actual gallstones, so I am not sure what to believe. I want opinions, anecdotal/experimental evidence, and all the rest! Please feel free to take part in the poll.
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?
Avatar f tn t imagine any of them making me lose weight so easily. I was never heavy, but watched what I ate. But this is different. I lose if I don't eat well now. I get concerned about every little ache wondering if it could be a cause. I have some bone and muscle pain, but believe that is from my cholesterol medication. My colon has slowed down but I think that is age related. Just don't know if I should worry or not. It's been going on for a couple years now. I am 54 years old.
Avatar n tn There are many causes like worms in stool, depression, anorexia nervosa, AIDS, cancers especially colon cancers, drug abuse, infections and loss of appetite. Loss of appetite can again be due to certain medications, drug abuse, depression, AIDS, acute and chronic infections, cancers and hypothyroidism. Either you do not eat well or there is increased metabolism as in hyperthyroid states, HIV, cancer etc.
787203 tn?1239720933 and 105 lbs you cannot afford to lose any more weight. Everyone has different bowel habits and what is normal for one is not normal for the other. If you are not eating very much then you cannot expect to have a bowel movement everyday. My husband, believe it or not, only has a BM about every five days and he is healthy as a horse and eats big volumes of food.
Avatar m tn So yes, water fasting for a week, is optimal for weight loss. and is proven as follows. Hope this helps. ___________________ 1.
