Colonic For Severe Constipation

I wanted to share my positive experience getting a colonic a couple days ago. I get them periodically and they always help me tremendously. I have tended toward C for several years but I never had such problems until my food intolerances started... gluten was only the beginning for me. Now as I determine which foods are safe for me, I get severe C whenever I ingest something my body really doesn't like, then I have trouble getting things going again.

 

I went in for my colonic feeling like I wanted to die and looking terrible, and left feeling so much better, as I always do. The next day I look so much healthier. Today no more dark circles under my eyes and acne nearly gone.

 

For me, I am not able to get this result any other way, I've tried everything. I believe a healthy gut is one of the most important things for good health, and that a toxic gut causes illness. For anyone who can maintain healthy movement, that's great, but for anyone who still has trouble after trying absolutely everything, I wanted to share my experience.

 

When I do have an occasional colonic I always double up on my probiotics for the day. I have my usual dose in the morning, then I repeat it at dinnertime.

 

I realize this can be a controversial subject and everyone has their own opinion. From experience I can tell you that it's just plain water flowing into and out of the colon to cleanse any toxic buildup and any blockage. I hope and I believe that eventually my colon will be functioning normally again and can do it's job completely on it's own. Until then, this has been a huge help to me when nothing else works.

I'm glad you found something to help you keep things moving. :) I've thought about trying that but I've been too chicken. LOL

Thanks for sharing.   This might be something I will look into.  I have always been more on the C spectrum than the D and it seems no matter how hard ( haha) I try to stay on top of it, I am never normal.  Where does one go to get a colonic?

It's usually listed under Colon Hydrotherapy, and it's individual practitioners that do the procedure. They are sometimes in their own office or they sometimes share space with a Naturopathic Doctor. The practitioner I go to has an International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy (I-ACT) logo on her website, so I'm including a link for that - you can look up practitioners by state. Mine uses an electric massager over my colon during the session and it really helps. I would ask if they use one of those.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
