What is a colonic? Do They hurt?

Question

I was watching that show on BBC called "You are what you eat" and I noticed they start the diet with a colonic.

Do They hurt? Is there an alternative to a colonic, in which you recieve the same benefits?

I get really sick when I overeat greasy food now, like I developed an intolerance. My stomach burns and i get this feeling that I need to burp that doesn't go away after I burp many times and they smell sulfuric. I think i need to clean my "system"

common sense would suggest you stop overeating greasy food.

D'uh.

Answer 2

Your problem is not going to be cured by a colonic.  A colonic, simply put, is a cleaner shoved up your rear to cause you to clean out your lower intestines.  Yes, it is very uncomfortable to have liquid shoved up your exit place.

Your problem sounds like a stomach lining issue that might be cured by taking Tagamet (an over the counter medicine meant to coat and protect your stomach lining).  I would talk to a doctor about the burping and problems with some foods.

Don't do the colonic.

I hate to say this but you are toxic, right now. Your body is sending a message that it's had enough of the current foods you are forcing down.

Back off, drink plenty of water, take walks, it really takes the mind off food and it is so easy to do. With the warm weather nowadays, it is a joy.

colonics can be uncomfortable but it is not supposed to be painful. The best way to find one in your area is to call a local Natural Practicinor or a Massage Therapist and ask for a recommendation.

When you do contact one that does Colonics, they will happy to answer all your questions.

I've had one and it was a bit uncomfortable but the rewards of having one was alot more that I had imagined. I felt more energy and healthier getting that junk out of me.

everyone gets sick when they eat greasy food, and i dont think too many people actually benefit when they give themselves a colonic
