Colonic For Severe Constipation


FruitEnthusiast

Recommended Posts

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.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
