what is a good at home treatment for a colon cleanse?

I have heard to help lose weight one should do a colon cleanse to get rid of toxins. I just want to know what I can do with out spending lots of money.

I love questions like this. There are hundreds of books out there that say something like “death begins in the colon” and “cleanse the toxins” and other rubbish.

While there is truth to poor diets causing ill health (Americans eat a lot of fat and have a very high incidence of colon cancer), there’s a lot of myths too.

Fiber is the key. Instead of looking for miracle cures, adapt a healthy lifestyle. Eat whole-fiber, low fat foods and read labels. (While you’re at it, cut down on the salt too). Just reaching the FDA’s recommended allowance of fiber daily can be a challenge. (No more fast food!) Also, drink plenty of water. You can’t flush out the bad if it’s stuck like a rock inside of you. (Constipation hurts). Finally, exercise. Along with all the other health benefits (and burning calories, duh) regular exercise will promote peristalsis (the regular movement of stuff through your insides).

Seriously though, it takes some work to keep yourself healthy. Keep at it. And please stay away from people who are going to shove stuff where it doesn’t belong and “flush you out”. That’s really not good for you. Also, stay away from laxatives unless your doctor suggests it. They can have very bad side effects.

Just eat right and exercise.

Footnote: Enemas and Go-Lytly are not good! You can severely imbalance your sodium and postassium levels! (read: heart failure) Don’t stick things up there unless a doctor (a real doctor) tells you to!

Finding Relief From Chronic Constipation With Zelnorm

Chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome are problems that have plagued millions of Americans. It is estimated that 4.5 million Americans are affected by it every year. On a worldwide basis, it is estimated that 37 million people are affect by chronic constipation every year. It strikes people from all walks of life and in all social statures. Medical research has not been able to determine why chronic constipation or irritable bowel syndrome occur, but new research is being conducted every day.

Chronic constipation is a disease with symptoms that include no bowel movements for up to six weeks at a time, stomach pain and bloating. It is an extremely uncomfortable feeling and often painful.

There have been breakthroughs with treating these horrible diseases. Medicines have been developed to help treat them. Not all of the treatments such as fiber and laxatives work on everyone who has chronic constipation. There is one medication that works for many people called Zelnorm. It is the first medication of its kind to receive FDA approval.

Zelnorm was developed in 2002 and is the first medication that was approved for treating chronic constipation in people under the age of sixty-five years old in 2004.

Studies have shown Zelnorm does not work effectively in men who have irritable bowel syndrome and is recommended for use up to two weeks for women.

Another study that was conducted involved 842 people with chronic constipation. The study was conduct for 13 months. The results were that Zelnorm increased frequency of bowel movements and lessened the severity of bloating a stomach pain.

Zelnorm was developed to help relieve the bloating that occurs with chronic constipation. It is meant to be a short-term treatment and should be monitored by a physician.

Zelnorm is available by prescription only. When you first start taking Zelnorm, it is important to advise your doctor if there are any symptoms or complications you may have. Your doctor may perform tests to make sure that there are no underlying medical conditions.

Severe diarrhea has been reported in some cases. This was the only side affect known to occur with Zelnorm. It is extremely important that you report any changes no matter how small to your doctor immediately.

Zelnorm is a medical breakthrough that can help millions of people with irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation. For those who suffer from these diseases, it is welcome news.

For years, people have suffered the embarrassment of these diseases. Finally, there is relief for them.

Although Zelnorm may not be right for everybody, it can help the majority of people that suffer from intestinal disorders. Only a medical doctor can perform the necessary tests to find out if Zelnorm is right for you.
