Colonic Irrigation

[SallyAnne]

I had one a few months back. I found it a soothing experience, but I do eat healthily so the poo and gas came out easily and it wasn't at all painful. The worst thing for me was the tube bursting open at the start of the session when the water was being flushed through me, wetting the bed and having to have it reassembled. Luckily I wasn't expelling waste matter at that point. Therefore, I spent the entire session thinking I was going to poo all over the bed as it was being flushed out as I was never really convinced it was going to just go through the tube. Also, the practitioner had really long artificial fingernails, so when she was giving me reflexology during the session, her nails dug into my feet quite painfully, and during the stomach massage too. The other thing I wasn't overly keen on was leaking out on the way home. Only a bit, luckily, but enough to make me worried about embarassing leakage in a public place. Although you sit on the loo and allow your body to leak out the excess water at the end of the session in the clinic there is still some left in you that drips down when you start moving around.

I would go again but probably with some other clinic much closer to home and preferably carried out by someone with short fingernails.

Ah thats classic

Well lets face it, one cannot expect normal bowel movements when one's diet consists almost exclusively of hotdog toasties... Hardly a great deal of roughage in one of those - granary bread might help I suppose...

Hhot dogs have all sorts of things in them - bones and eyes are probably a good source of fibre!

It's not new at all. Although it's now considered a fashionable toxin removing treatment, privately given at alternative medicine clinics, the practice of colonic irrigation has been a around for a lot longer. It used to be practiced by ordinary GP clinics during the war and the practice of colonic flushing goes back much longer than that.

You are at last earning some respect from your fellow contractors, though I am not sure that this will go down well with my lunch
