Has anyone tried this? I saw it on a programme the other day, and apparantly you could lose between 5 to 10 pounds (and several inches) just by doing a colon cleanse.  |

Um... my ex did prior to going for colonoscopies. To be blunt it just cleans all of the waste out of your system. If you decide to do it, do it on a day when you don't have any plans other than running to the bathroom all. day. long. The "weight loss" lasts as long as until your next meal.

I had to do this when I had surgery last year. It is nothing close to being pleasant.

If you want to lose weight go on a diet or excercise instead. My stepfather had to do this colon cleaning prior to a surgery a year or two ago. Without getting too graphic, he had horrible bowel/gas pains and got no sleep because he was up in the bathroom with brutal diareah all nite. Eventually he got real raw and sore down there from going to the bathroom so many times. You don't want to go through what he went through..... Think of what the stomach flu feels like. It's pretty much the same thing. |

Oh, I dont really want to lose weight. I just thought it would be a good thing to try, since its been reccomended by a few people. But its seeming to be a bad idea....!

It's not worth any health benefits unless you are at risk for colon cancer.
The process is rather painful.
