Flush Your Colon

Eat plenty of fiber and drink 6 - 8 glasses of water a day.

Do not take laxatives nor use one of those "flush" systems. Both hurt you in the long run.

Fasting is a great way to clean out the colon, but incorporating natural juices, soups and Metamucil can keep you from getting too weak during a ...

anything besides WATER. I drink plenty of water now I'm thinking maybe like apple cider vinegar or w/e

I have a lot of colon problems myself. My docs tell me to drink as much water as possible, eat at LEAST 13 grams of fiber a day, but should be more like 36 grams, and to walk. Personally, if I am constipated, I drink 1-2 cups of coffee and that helps a lot.

My fiance recently underwent a colonoscopy and the prior preparation required her to "clean out her system". Would flushing the body in this way be a healthy thing to do on a regular basis? She honestly lost nearly 9lbs in the ummm......flushing process.

No, it's not healthy. In your fiance's case, obviously there was a medical reason for doing this (to get a clear view of the walls of the colon), but for people who do it b/c they think it is healthy or 'cleansing' or 'detoxifying', it is just a bunch of b.s.
We 'clean' our colons each time we go to the bathroom. The human body does not need, and indeed can be damaged, by shoving hoses up there with water to 'clean' us.
I know people will say, "Oh, I felt so light and refreshed after!", but it is not good to rid the colon of the healthy bacteria. A good diet with plenty of fiber is all the 'cleansing' we need.

is there anything i can eat or do to flush my colon out? its kinda personal but its diarhea and constipation all at once.

You should go to your Dr. and ask them to do a colonoscopy. I believe you have IBS-D (Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea) I've had it for years! It's sometimes painful and very annoying. I can't ever eat anything without worrying about having to go the bathroom right after. I'm pretty thin. It's like I can't gain any weight cause everything I eat goes down the toilet after I'm done eating. If I take stuff for the diarrhea like anti-diarrheal pills, it'll help out but of course It'll make me constipated and I'll sometimes get these really sharp pains from my colon or something. It hurts! I'm sure it's just gas but yeah..I know what you're going through. Sorry I couldn't be much help. Good luck though! But please don't try flushing down your colon...just get a good ole' colon cleanser.

I was reading in several webpages that by cleansing the colon and flushing everything from your system you can lose up to 10 pounds. Is this true? Or anything from this sort?

How Can Colon Cleansing Help Me Lose Weight?

When considering a cleanse for weight loss, some can expect to see a drop of up to 20lbs (this will definitely vary from person to person). The weight lost is not necessarily fat, rather, it is the weight of toxins flushed from the body. That being said, with a cleansed colon and a healthy diet plan, your body can now begin making great use of the good nutrients you put back in. Combine that with an exercise plan and you just put yourself on the fast track to shredding pounds and discovering a healthier you.

Visits to a specialist can be rather expensive. So if you decide to go with an over-the-counter method, keep in mind that oxygen based colon cleansing products, such as Colon Ox, are the most affordable doctor recommended solution.
