Colonic For Severe Constipation


FruitEnthusiast

Recommended Posts

FruitEnthusiast Enthusiast

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.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
