Colon cleanse- at doctor's office

Question

I've tried searching online for a colon cleanse place, but I just find the usual Dr Natura's and at home stuff. What do you call the one you get done in just a couple of hours at the doctor? Anything willing to share their experience? How does it work?

Answer 1

doctor's offices do not do enemas or "colon cleanses" unless there is a medical need for it.....in fact they don't like doing them then, it isn't good for you, it throws your electrolytes way out of balance and leaves you exposed to all sorts of opportunistic infections.  Yes, laxatives, like natura's are harsh...actually the word is caustic..and over time you become dependent on them, unable to have a bowel movement without ever increasing amounts of laxatives.  your bowel does a fine job of cleaning itself as long as you eat properly and drink enough water, heck it does a pretty good job even if you don't....don't use artificial means to "cleanse" your colon, it really doesn't need it, and it can do you considerable harm.

Answer 2

The name of the procedure you're talking about is a high colonic.  There are day spas and clinics that specialize in these things.  I'd google "High colonic + the geographical area you're in" in order to find more information on this.  It's definitely NOT something one does every month, nevermind every day, and the nurse's info, while highly conservative, is accurate.

Answer 4

colonoscopy sp?

Answer 5

Why don't you call a PCP and ask if you can get them done there.  I know they might say no but at least you will find the medical name of the procedure and they might tell you were you can get one.  You can also randomly call a doctor's office they wont know who you are and they usually just give you the info you need to get you in the right direction.  Call a doctor's walk clinic in if you have to... and just to make it extra good you might want to ask if  you need Rx for that....
