Question:
Bowel Cleansing? Does anyone do this? Does anyone know a good method to use? Is it ok with crohn's? I have been feeling yucky....constipated. Usually I am the opposite with many BM per day. Just feel like if I get everything moving I will feel better.
Answer:
I did it to help detoxify the body and felt so darn good afterwards I went out and broke my best time in a run. You don't need a lot of special herbs whose names you can't pronounce to do a cleanse. Being an avid supplement taker i didn't even need to get anything new. I just increased my intake of multiple sources of fiber, my flaxseed oil. And soya for 5 days. I still kept on taking my nutritionals as usual. No matter what you try you should make sure to let your doc know what you are doing. A cleanse could interfere with meds. I would be VERY cautious about doing this and first check with your GI to make sure it is OK w/ him/her. There may be some other problem occurring that is causing the constipation that needs treating. You may be suffering from IBS as well as IBD. You need to be properly diagnosed first before such a radical procedure that can lead to an IBD flare. Bowel cleansing is a synonym for enemas. Eating fiber and essential oils is a healthy diet, and something many people do on a daily basis. It's not a bowel cleansing.
