[ARCHIVED THREAD] - A Serious Question About Keeping The Colon Healthy UPDATE P.4: Tried A Treatment (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 8/17/2005 8:41:07 PM EDT

Try to keep the laughter and jokes to a minimum but I was wondering about colon cleansing product, their use, and what not.

I've (unfortunately) seen pictures of what comes out of a cleaned colon and what's been trapped up inside and it gave me the initiative to want to clean myself out. I don't want to get anything put in through my "exit" so to speak and would prefer to drink something.

Someone recommended FLEET on here a while back. I was curious about how it or similar products work. Do you just drink it and what happens next? Do you basically crap your life away for the next week? Is it a one-day or less process? Painful? Etc.

Thanks.

metamucil for a month will keep your butt bore clean.
a good healthy dump is when you wipe your ass and there is no residue on the tissue paper

My little nephew ate couple of prunes at my house.
I told him they were giant raisins

You should have seen what came out of the little kid for next few hours

I say go eat a bag of prunes and your colon will be flushed out.

I dont think the fleet will do the trick. You need something to encourage what ever it is you're trying to get out - out. The best thing is Epsom salt [2 TBLS per 8 oz glass of water] Lemon Juice [concentrate] and Olive Oil. Drink it until you want to

, stop then drink some more. Lay down and Voila, you'll feel like shit for a while but have a clean colan.

Ask a doctor that uses a buttscope or colonoscope or whatever it is called.. there is nothing trapped up your ass like what those salesmen will tell you

Fleet Test Prep kit. The kind with the Phospho-Soda and some other stuff in it.

I had a medical procedure done...had to use that stuff to prep. There are three components--the phospho-soda, two little pills, and one suppository. Thankfully, I was only supposed to drink the soda, the pills and suppository weren't necessary. I think I recall I was allowed to mix it with something, ginger-ale or lemon-lime soda, something like that.

That phospho-soda is very good at what it does.

Let me be the first to suggest tannerite. That, and a good psychiatric examination.

Obsession with what's up your ass is NOT a good sign, no matter how you look at it.

Fleet is just a laxative (I use the term “just’ with caution since, in larger quantities, Fleet can turn you into a human fire hose!!).

To my mind, putting chemicals into your colon is probably a good way to cause colon cancer!

Talk to your doctor – if cancer is a concern for you, think about getting a colonoscopy to check things out. However, depending on your age, getting your insurance company to pay for it may be a problem.

If you're going for the colonoscopy, they'll give you six liters of a pineapple-flavored solution (contains stuff like potassium sulfate) named "GoLytely" -- a name which indicates it'll make you "go' and that it's made out of gentle electrolytes. You simply drink three cups an hour and let Nature take her course. It's really delicious, and even after the 4th liter, you'll want more!

That's just one of the options. The Fleet prep kits are another.

Just drink metalmucil twice a day, seriously.

That's what a colon doctor told me after I went for a screening (I'm only 28 but my dad was just diagnosed with colon cancer so it made me jittery)

ETA:Also, eat a salad with dinner. The fiber will be helpfull.

Most of the colon cleansers are crap (pun not intended). A lot of myths and plain deceptions when they advertise these things.

Stuff doesn't get stuck in the colon for years, if it does it's called an obstruction and a big hint that you have one is intense abdominal pain and bleeding from the rectum.

Just eat a bowl of Fiber One every morning. I think the box suggests 1/2 cup a day. If you're like me, your bowels will laugh at 1/2 a cup.

I try to eat 1-1 1/2 cups of Fiber One at a time. Really helps me stay regular. But then again, I can eat prunes like there is no tomorrow and have zero side effects.

Get enough fiber in your diet, and things will resolve themselves. Aim for 30grams at least. Recomended levels are 25g for adults, as I recall. Remove processed flour from your diet, and eat healthier...

My friend dared me to drink one of the 2 liter size bottles of prune juice. I downed it all in about one hour. As I took the last sip, I thought I had to fart. Ended up shitting my pants. Luckily I was at home. I spent the next hour running back and forth to the toilet. I honestly can say that everything inside of me was out. Drink plenty of water afterwords or you'll get dehydrated.

If you are concerned with colon cancer eat red things.
Thats not a joke. Lycopene is the red pigment in vegetables and is a phytochemical that is known to prevent colon cancer. Processing does not matter. Tomato paste, strawberries, ketchup all have lycopene in them.

Try Metamucil. It's a lot less traumatic than the Fleet saline laxative.

Perhaps it's just me, but two cups of black coffee turns my bowels into a bullet train. I have nail marks on the inside of my small bowels from where fecal matter tried in vain to outlast the java induced tsunami. 5 minutes after cup two it's time for the penguin walk. I use it as a bake timer for the coffee cake.

I believe no ass-plaque could survive such an assault.

THIS IS THE CASE!! This thread has been gone over to death a few months ago. YOU DO NOT HAVE 5 YEAR OLD CRAP STUCK IN YOUR ASS. This is (pardon the pun) a load of shit from people that want to make money BY FREAKING YOU OUT by showing you SCARY pictures. Do not fall for it. If you had that kind of stuff stuck in your colon PERISTALISIS would NOT function and you would not shit at all. The people that are putting this stuff forward are HIPPIES, and when do HIPPIES know ANYTHING about real medicine or science. (and if they have a real DOKTOR recommending it, is he making a buck?)

Eat a healthy diet loaded with fruit/veggies

Don't do any of that crazy shit. Go see a gastroenterologist if you are having GI problems or have some questions.

Basically if you drink lots of water and eat a well rounded diet with lots of fiber and green leafies, you should be fine.

I ignored my own advice as a young man...and paid dearly with two colorectal surgeries. Trust me...YOU DON'T WANT THAT!!!

After you reach 50 get a colonoscopy! Colon cancer is not how you want to check out.

Forget that other quackery though...

And if you have a history of colon cancer in your family, start those colonoscopies ealier--like at 35-40.

They can snip pre-cancerous polyps during a colonoscopy, which beats the hell out of finding the tumor after it gets big enough that you have bowel problems.

What LWilde said!

I keep hearing the If-It's-"Alternative"-It-Must-Be-Good/Meat-Is-Bad-For-You crowd saying it takes weeks or months for stuff to clear out of your colon. They're veganism-addled brains are struggling to find reinforcement. Ignore them.

A big stayin' alive +1 on that. I have a bad family history of colon cancer and do not regret starting colonoscopies at 40. It was the right thing to do.

The trick to a clean colon is to pay a hooker to give you the enema.

Then you won't feel like a fag.

When I was 8 or 9 we went to my grand parents vacation shack up in the NE AL mountains. Walked down to a little store and my bro got some nasty looking peppermint sticks. Grossed me out so I bought a box of prunes and ate them on the walk home. When my grandfather saw what I had done he said, "I wouldn't stray too far off for awhile ir I were you."
I think I'm still cleaned out after all these years.

Just eat a lot of fiber- fruits, vegetables, cereals. Drink a couple-three of qts of H2O a day. Keep away from processed food as much as you can. God already designed a system that works, if you work with it.
