Colon Cleanse...TMI??

No, I've never done a cleanse. But I have been stuck in a truck with a man that would not shut up about what he called "the master cleanse." I would not recommend it. I know too much.

I would recommend skipping those expensive cleanse packages at GNC. You have no idea what they are throwing in there. Plus, the majority of it will be psyllium husk powder, which you can buy yourself for much cheaper yourself. Additionally, the benefit of psyllium is that it is insoluble fiber that gels together when mixed with water to physically push through your intestines/colon. Whole husk is what you need for this and not a small amount of the powdered version in a capsule.

Buy Yerba Prime whole husk, whole is important, and drink a tablespoon in water in the morning before eating. It will be gritty and unpleasant but that's just how it is. I take it regularly.

I wouldn't mess with that! Do you have gassy bloat, or feel like it's a water retention thing?

I like MeganM's recs, and if you feel like it's a gassy thing, I'd see your doctor to rule out serious stuff (celiac, ovarian cancer, etc.) and then maybe some dietary troubleshooting is in order- I used to get painful trapped gas almost every day, and neither my regular doctor nor Gastroenterologist found a reason why, so eventually I did an elimination diet for 3 weeks and felt better a few days in. When I started adding foods back in, I ate a donut and the bloat came back- I'm not 100% sure if it was gluten, something else in wheat, yeast, etc., but I went mostly gluten free for a couple years and felt great.

Now I may have TMI'd, haha.

It sounds super dumb but I downloaded a app on my phone called the military diet and me and FH walk around the block every night with that mixture I've already lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks I currently an post partum from a c section deliver and weighed 197 last week with a goal weight of 135 before wedding so as soon as I am healed completely I'll be doing a bit more exercise ( when I have the time)

I got my first colon hydrotherapy today and going back to get 2 more to end the cycle.. with just getting one i feel great results and learned a lot about my system...

@chiquita was it painful? I've always wondered about those? I scheduled one several years ago and chickened out once they showed me the equipment

Like everyone said, your organs flush out toxins. Drink a gallon of water a day, eat lots of leafy greens, hydrate chia seeds and consume those-the "glue" helps clean your intestines. Eat as clean as you can and avoid processed foods (loaded with salts/sugars/fat etc)

Bar food is my favorite cleanse!
