Lately, the media is bombarding me with commercials, infomercials, and radio ads for colon cleansing. When I watch them, I can't help but wonder... do I have 5-10 pounds of old poop stuck in my colon. EWWWW!! I have been pondering purchasing a system but it sounds like most doctors discourage colon cleansing. I'm not ignorant- I've done lots of reading on this and read the pros and cons. I'm just still feeling uncertain. Until recently when I started upping my fiber intake, I didn't have very regular or healthy bowel movements. Lately, I've been more regular but I still wonder if I should do something to fully empty myself out.
Has anyone tried colon cleaners? Which brands do you like/dislike? Did they work for you? Does your doctor encourage or discourage colon cleansing?
Any suggestions/advice/info would be appreciated.
Edit: To give you an idea, I have 3 servings (the recommended amount) of Benefiber each day, a multi-vitamin, a fish oil pill, and a calcium + vitamin D supplement. I also try to get a total of 25-30 g of fiber/day.
