<p align="justify">Life Health Center falsely advertised colonic irrigations as &#8220;painless&#8221; procedures which provided health benefits including an improved protected system and increased energy, as well as relief from indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, body odor, Candida, acne, mucus colitis, gas, food cravings, fatigue, obesity, diverticulosis, bad breath, parasitic infections, and premenstrual disease.</p>
<p>We suggest that you eat at your normal meal time, and guzzle a moderate amount of whatever seems gentle and nourishing to you. When eating a meal known to cause trouble in your abdomen directly after a colonic isn&#8217;t an intelligent choice. Salads, vegetable soups or broths, fruit, or juices are the best choice. By the Doctors clarification have shown that the bowel habits of healthy individuals can vary greatly. Although most people have a movement daily, some have several movements each day, while others can go several days or even longer with no adverse effects. </p>
<p>Colon Cleanse Benefits</p>
<p>Increased energy levels</p>
<p>Clearer skin </p>
<p>Improved concentration </p>
<p>Better absorption of vitamins and minerals from foods </p>
<p>Overall healthful feeling </p>

<p>Relief from indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, body odor, candida, acne, mucus colitis, gas, food cravings, fatigue, obesity, diverticulosis, bad breath, parasitic infections.</p>
<p>The blood capillaries to the colon commence to pick up the toxins, poisons and noxious debris as it seeps through the bowel wall. The heavy mucus glaze in the colon thickens and becomes a host of putrefaction. All tissues and organs of the body are now taking on toxic substances. In addition, the colon therapist should remain with you and tap the abdomen to help remove matter, not just hook you up to a hose and ramble off. Many colon therapists prefer to give 10 treatments. Because it is a powerful detoxifier and absorbs everything it comes in contact with, take it two hours after a meal (so that you can absorb the nutrition from ur meal) and/or two hours before a meal (so that it can pass through before you eat). </p>
<p>The colon is one of the primary organs involved in the body&#8217;&#8217;s detoxification process. A healthy body has the natural ability to eliminate toxins that we are exposed to everyday. Harmful substances such as bacteria, pesticides, food additives, environmental pollutants, drugs and chemicals are filtered out by an internal detoxification process and eliminated through our intestines. Ammonia, a waste byproduct of protein metabolism and bacterial fermentation of food processed in the digestive tract, may be detoxified internally by a healthy elimination system. </p>

<p>HEALTH FACT #1: Every American will have Colon Disease! According to the Merck Manual, one of the most respected medical texts in the world, colon degeneration and disease is on the rise. The incidence of diverticulosis, (herniated sacs protruding through the wall of the colon) has increased dramatically over the past 40 years in America. It states that in 1950, only 10% of American adults had this disease. In 1955, 15%. In 1972, 30%, In 1987, almost 50% and in the latest edition it states that “Every American will have diverticulosis if they live long enough.”</p>

<p align="justify">HEALTH FACT #2: Diverticulosis is directly caused by constipation, fecal impaction and pressure. These sacs are stuffed with trapped fecal sludge. They become infected and the rotting feces erodes the surrounding mucousa and blood vessels. This begins bleeding, rupturing and infection, and serious disease.</p>
<p>HEALTH FACT #3: Colon Cancer actually KILLS 400% more people than AIDS. It also KILLS more men and women in America than Breast and Prostate Cancer.</p>
<p>HEALTH FACT #4: This year in America 60,000 people will DIE from Colon-Rectal Cancer and an additional 125,000 new cases will be diagnosed.</p>
<p>HEALTH FACT #5: Up to 50% of Americans have Polyps in their colon. A Polyp is just another name for a tumor. Most Polyps eventually mutate into malignant cancer tumors!</p>
<p>The best prevention and healing strategy is cleaning up your diet and cleansing the body of toxins, poisons and accumulated waste. And the colon is the most important place to start.</p>
<p>Why are regular bowel movements so important?</p>
<p>A sluggish, constipated, swollen bowel, retaining pounds of old fecal matter can either compress a nearby area causing disease, or emit infection and toxins which can affect and infect any area of the body. The entire colon is so big that it is connected to, touches, sits next to or is in the vicinity of every major organ in the human body except the brain. It also touches most of your major blood vessels and nerves. Constipation causes the colon to literally swell, expand and even herniate. And according to the leading medical books, it is happening to all of us.</p>
<p>So when an area of the colon gets constipated and swells, it compresses and crushes the organ next to it. This could be the lungs, the heart, the liver and gallbladder, the pancreas, the kidneys and adrenals, the uterus, the prostate, again, almost every major organ in the body. This is simply why a constipated, swollen colon can cause an almost endless amount of seemingly unrelated diseases and problems.</p>
<p>Why should I do a colon cleanse?</p>
<p>Doing a colon cleanse periodically eliminates the waste and blockage that makes you can make you toxic and sick. It allows the body to clean itself out, heal, and then properly and efficiently remove waste from he body on a regular basis. A complete cleanse will flush out thousands of toxins, poisons, pollutants, drugs, radioactive material, heavy metals, pounds of old fecal matter, intestinal worms and parasites, and more. It is an extremely beneficial program that promotes incredible over-all health and vitality as well as proper colon function. </p>

<p>Constipation is not the only symptom that indicates you might benefit from a natural colon cleanse. It is not uncommon for hard material made of a mixture of mucous and fecal matter to become impacted on the inside walls of the colon and intestines. This causes a variety of health problems. For one thing, nutrients have a harder time absorbing into the bloodstream from the intestines. This situation, in turn, can cause a person to feel tired, depressed, and bloated. </p>

<p align="justify">A colon cleanse works to soften and remove this material. A herbal colon cleanse is a natural version of a laxative basically. Herbs that help you move wastes through your system include cascara sagrada bark, aloe vera leaf, and fenugreek seed. These are often found in herbal formulas for constipation.</p>
<p>Other herbs that support the laxative effect of the above botanicals are fennel seed, which helps with gas and cramps, and peppermint, which aids the digestion. Along with laxative herbs, a colon cleanse is likely to include herbs like dandelion root or red clover, which are cleansing to the blood and the urinary tract, so that the whole system gets cleansed of toxins.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, herbs can be as harsh to the system as conventional laxatives. There is another type of natural colon cleanse on the market. This is an oxygen based formula that reacts chemically with the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. This chemical reaction causes the fecal material, sometimes called plaque, to melt into liquid and gas so it can be expelled easily.</p>
<p>The herbal colon cleanse will cause you to pass rubbery dark material with the consistency of tire tread, while the oxygen based natural colon cleanse will give you liquid or soft stools. </p>
<p>Another aspect of natural colon cleansing is to add fiber to the diet. This can be in the form of bran, psyllium seed husks, prunes, and many other natural foods. It is sensible, if you have problems with constipation anyway, to eat a fiber rich diet. Fiber alone, however, will not give you a complete colon cleanse. Still, it makes sense to eat more fiber rich fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains, and less junk food.</p>
<p>Colon cleansing can also include enemas. In fact, during a colon cleanse, you might be advised to have an enema on any day that you do not have a bowel movement. The goal is to have three or four bowel movements on any given day, which are likely if you choose an oxygen based cleanse.</p>
<p>Removing the fecal matter from the digestive tract will eliminate many toxins from your system. This can result in clearer skin, more energy, fewer headaches, improved allergy symptoms, and many other benefits. Of course, results vary from individual to individual, but there are many reports of multiple benefits from doing a colon cleanse.</p>

<h3><font size="2">Why Constipation Is Too Dangerous To Ignore</font></h3>
<p>by: Scott Baker </p>
<p>There is probably no condition that goes untreated as often as constipation. Nor is there any condition that occurs with greater overall frequency than constipation. While the symptoms of constipation are relatively mild and tend to be limited to: difficulty passing stool, hard or dry stool, and infrequent bowel movements. In more severe cases, constipation may also include nausea, severe abdominal or lower back pain, and even bloody stool. </p>

<p align="justify">Constipation is a very common condition because it can be caused by a large number of factors. In the vast majority of cases, poor diet and a lack of physical exercise are thought to be the cause of the constipation-and where not the actual cause, at least contributing factors. Dairy products, greasy foods, alcohol, and caffeine are just a few of the products we consume that can lead to constipation problems. Chronic constipation is a real possibility when improper nutrition and poor lifestyle have been consistent issues.</p>
<p>Common Constipation Causes </p>
<p>While chronic constipation problems are usually the result of poor diet and lifestyle, temporary constipation can be caused by a host of factors. A heavy night of drinking can cause dehydration which will result in hard, dry stool. A new pain medication or antidepressant may also lead to regularity problems. Stress is a huge cause of constipation and one of the big reasons for its frequency. Simply withholding bowel movements (a common cause of childhood constipation) can lead to infrequency. But, while all of these things and more may lead to temporary constipation, the good news is that it will go away once the cause has been addressed. It is chronic constipation problems that are the real cause for concern as they can be a sign of a much larger and potentially more dangerous medical issue. </p>
<p>Medical Conditions That Cause Constipation </p>
<p>Chronic constipation is a problem in and of itself because it can cause bacteria and toxins to build up in the body because stool is not being evacuated from the body. In time, these bacteria will spread throughout the body via the blood stream and cause infections and other medical problems. Septicemia may result so that the entire body is fighting infections in multiple locations and death may be possible unless antibiotics can help the immune system regain control. Aside from this, chronic constipation is a problem because it often signals the presence of another medical issue. </p>
<p>Diabetes is a condition where the body is unable to properly regulate blood glucose levels via insulin. A side effect of diabetes is dehydration which then leads to the constipation which is often present with diabetes. Proper treatment will reduce the blood glucose spikes and reduce dehydration but it may still be necessary to hydrate more than normal to prevent constipation problems from arising. </p>
<p>In addition to diabetes, there are a number of neurological conditions that cause constipation problems. Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson&#8217;s Disease, strokes, and spinal cord injuries have all been known to cause constipation. But unlike diabetes where the constipation is caused by dehydration, this is not the case with neurological disorders. Instead, the constipation arises due to the brain not sending the right signals to muscles in the intestines and gastrointestinal tract. </p>
<p>In order for the body to have normal bowel movements, Peristaltic Action is necessary. Peristaltic Action is the natural movement within the body that pushes food from the stomach into the intestines. Afterwards, the action pushes the waste from the intestines through the colon and out the rectum. When signals from the brain are not sent or received properly, Peristaltic Action will not occur properly and constipation is the result. Even though the medications to treat neurological disorders may aid in the transmission of the signals, they may still cause constipation due to dehydration. </p>
<p>Chronic constipation, however, is most often the result of poor diet or a blockage in the gastrointestinal tract. A blockage, or fecal impaction, is caused when the feces that clings to the walls of the colon and intestines builds up to the point of causing an obstruction. When this occurs, waste will not pass beyond the fecal impaction and pressure will begin to build on the abdomen and lower back. If the waste is not evacuated from the body in a timely fashion, the blood stream will begin to reabsorb the bacteria present in the waste. This will lead to a general weakening of the entire immune system and leave your body susceptible to infection and disease. If the blockage is not removed and too much waste backs up, a massive infection will begin to rage in the body and a person will develop septicemia. Death is a very real possibility once septicemia has begun. </p>
<p>Eating a diet rich in fiber will help prevent the onset of chronic constipation. Fiber helps add bulk to stool while also drawing water into the gastrointestinal tract and softening stool in the process. Fiber will help keep the gastrointestinal tract clear but it will not help remove the feces clinging to the sides of the colon and intestines. Therefore, the potential for future blockages and chronic constipation remain. </p>
<p>One of the surest ways to reduce chances for future blockages is to periodically employ a colon cleanser. A colon cleanser will not only eliminate current blockages, it will also help prevent future ones as well. This is because a colon cleanser will also help remove the feces clinging to the walls and thus reduce chances for future fecal impactions. However, it is important to remember that the colon cleanser should be made with all natural ingredients. Colon cleansers that are not made will all natural ingredients may contain harsh chemicals that may lead to dehydration or other harmful side effects. </p>
<p>While short term constipation will always be a factor that people have to contend with, it is generally not severe and tends to go away once the cause has been addressed. Chronic constipation may be the signal of a more serious medical condition like diabetes or the result of a fecal impaction. Because it is much more likely a fecal impaction causing the problem, it is important to eat a diet rich in fiber and to use an all natural colon cleanser periodically to prevent chronic constipation and the build up of bacteria that can cause more serious health problems. </p>

<p align="justify">1) You want to research about colon cleansing online. Learn all you can about it, because although you may think it&#8217;s for you it just might not be. There are licensed facilities that will do the colon cleansing for you or you may opt to do it yourself with herbs. Either way you should be prepared by doing the proper research.</p>
<p>2) If doing a colon cleansing in a licensed facility please follow their rules. They will probably not have you eat for 12-24 hours before the procedure and will most likely ask you to drink lots of water instead. Water helps with the cleansing process and pure water will be used during the actual cleansing. Be prepared to immediately use the restroom when your cleansing is complete. It is just a part of the detoxification process. There is no need to feel embarassed as this is completely normal. </p>
<p align="center"><b><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/yourheacom-20">Visit The Colon Cleansing Store At Amazon.com</a></b></p>
<p>3) If doing a home colon cleansing follow the instructions carefully. Usually a home herbal cleanse takes place over 30 days by taking herbal pills. What will happen is the first few days will probably be pretty uncomfortable for you. You&#8217;ll be using the restroom up to 5 times per day. If this doesn&#8217;t slow down then you should take less of the herbal pills so as not to dehydrate your body. To help with hydration drink, at minimum, your body weight in ounces of water. So if you weigh 120 pounds, drink 120 ounces of water per day. That may be difficult, but water is healthy and it will help with the cleansing process. </p>
<p>4) While going through the discomfort just remember that you&#8217;re doing something great for your body and will feel much better once the process is complete. No pain no gain certainly holds true for colon cleansing. Althoug there should be no actual pain, just some discomfort. </p>
<p>If you follow these 4 tips your first colon cleansing experience should be a much easier undertaking. Please look out for my next article with even more colon cleansing tips. </p>

<p>As with any part of the human body, we need to keep the colon healthy. One way to do this is through a process known as <a href="http://yourhealthresources.com/tag/colon-cleansing/" rel="tag">colon cleansing</a>. </p>
<p>I’ve found that a system called the Almighty Cleanse is a most effective way to do this. </p>

<p align="justify">So, why do we need to cleanse the colon?</p>
<p>The colon, better known as the large intestine or large bowel, is the part of the intestine from the cecum to the rectum. It plays an important role in the body, because it rids our system of toxins, fecal matter and waste while absorbing water and nutrients. One will find a very delicate balance of bacteria in the colon, which assist it in its processes. If this balance is disturbed out of sorts, normal colon functioning can be inhibited. </p>
<p>My research shows that many adult Americans have a colon that is indeed out of balance, a colon that is not functioning to an optimum level. </p>
<p>As your colon is responsible for eliminating all waste from your body, it is critical to maintain a healthy colon in order to enhance your health and vitality. In a clean colon, elimination occurs on a regular basis. When your colon becomes impacted or full of material, elimination becomes infrequent and your body will process fewer vitamins and minerals from your food. This condition is commonly known as constipation. </p>
<p>The reason for this is easy to understand. If the walls of the colon are lined with waste matter, then it’s hard for the ‘good guys’ that is, the nutritive parts of your food, plus the necessary water, to get past this blockage and into your body. </p>
<p>I find that many people still aren’t aware of the need for a clean, and thus healthy, colon. But consider that Americans have the highest rate of colon-rectal cancer of any nation in the world. This type of cancer now accounts for more deaths than ever before in American history. </p>
<p>I imagine that one reason it’s not so popular to talk about this matter is because many people think it&#8217;s a dirty subject and some think it&#8217;s embarrassing. Well, that can be, but cancer and death are worse. Maintaining the health of your colon can help to significantly improve your overall health and limit the occurrence of constipation and diarrhoea as well as many other health problems. </p>
<p>So, how do we cleanse the colon? There are numerous methods available. Some involve going to clinics where a rather imposing machine pumps your colon full of water and then flushes it out. An enema will also help, but this method would tend to be incomplete. </p>
<p>I’ve found that a good formula that you drink yourself is quite beneficial. A good formula is one that is designed to detoxify, clean out and refresh your body without uncomfortable cramping or loose stools. </p>
<p>It will be made of various herbs that are known to either help to flush out the waste, the faecal matter, from your colon, or to help regenerate the good bacteria in your colon. Experts tell me that some ingredients, all natural herbs, that a good formula has, includes senna, cloves, ginger, psyllium seed and several others. </p>
<p>Along with doing such a cleanse with a good formula, you might want to concentrate, during those days, on eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, perhaps some other good roughage food, and drinking plenty of good water, fresh juices and other healthy drinks. </p>
<p>The benefits to your health are enormous. For example, you’ll find that colon cleansing can help you in many ways, including weight loss, better mental health and concentration, improved digestion and nutrient absorption, better memory and increased energy. It can also give you clearer skin and an overall healthful feeling. </p>
<p>There are numerous ways that you can help your own health to improve or to stay at an optimum level. A good diet, proper rest and exercise and a positive attitude toward life are all very important. </p>
<p>But a <a href="http://yourhealthresources.com/tag/colon-cleanse/" rel="tag">colon cleanse</a>, without which many of us won’t be getting proper nutrition, is also a very relevant part of a good personal health regimen. Consider using Almighty Cleanse for this. </p>

<h3><font size="2">How is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) diagnosed?</font></h3>
<p>by: <b>Bunny Vreeland, Ph.D</b></p>
<p>IBS is generally diagnosed on the basis of a complete medical history that includes a careful description of symptoms and a physical examination. There is no specific test for IBS, although diagnostic tests may be performed to rule out other diseases. These tests may include stool sample testing, blood tests, and x rays. </p>
<p>Typically, a doctor will perform a sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy, which allows the doctor to look inside the colon. This is done by inserting a small, flexible tube with a camera on the end of it through the anus. The camera then transfers the images of your colon onto a large screen for the doctor to see better. If the tests results are negative, the doctor may diagnose IBS based on symptoms, including how often a patient may have had abdominal pain or discomfort during the past year, when the pain starts and stops in relation to bowel function, and how bowel frequency and stool consistency have changed. </p>
<p>Many doctors refer to a list of specific symptoms that must be present to make a diagnosis of IBS. Symptoms include abdominal pain or discomfort for at least 12 weeks out of the previous 12 months. These 12 weeks do not have to be consecutive. </p>
<p><b>The abdominal pain or discomfort has two of the following three features:</b></p>

<p>2. When it starts, there is a change in how often you have a bowel movement. </p>
<p>3. When it starts, there is a change in the form of the stool or the way it looks. </p>
<p>Certain symptoms must also be present, such as: • a change in frequency of bowel movements • a change in appearance of bowel movements • feelings of uncontrollable urgency to have a bowel movement • difficulty or inability to pass stool • mucus in the stool • bloating • bleeding, fever, weight loss, and persistent severe pain are not symptoms of IBS and may indicate other problems such as inflammation, or rarely, cancer. </p>
<p>What is the treatment for IBS? </p>
<p>Unfortunately, many people suffer from IBS for a long time before seeking medical treatment. </p>
<p>Up to 70 percent of people suffering from IBS are not receiving medical care for their symptoms. No cure has been found for IBS, but many options are available to treat the symptoms. A doctor will give the best treatments available for particular symptoms and encourage ways to manage stress and make changes to diet. </p>
<p>Medications can be an important part of relieving symptoms. A doctor may suggest fiber supplements or laxatives for constipation or medicines to decrease diarrhea, such as Lomotil or loperamide (Imodium). </p>
<p>An antispasmodic is commonly prescribed, which helps to control colon muscle spasms and reduce abdominal pain. Antidepressants may relieve some symptoms. However, both antispasmodics and antidepressants can worsen constipation, so some doctors will also prescribe medications that relax muscles in the bladder and intestines, such as Donnapine and Librax. </p>
<p>These medications contain a mild sedative, which can be habit forming, so they need to be used under the guidance of a physician. Medications available specifically to treat IBS are: </p>
<p>• Alosetron hydrochloride (Lotronex), which has been reapproved with significant restrictions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for women with severe IBS who have not responded to conventional therapy and whose primary symptom is diarrhea. </p>
<p>• However, even in these patients, Lotronex should be used with great caution because it can have serious side effects such as severe constipation or decreased blood flow to the colon. </p>
<p>• Tegaserod maleate (Zelnorm), which has been approved by the FDA for the short-term treatment of women with IBS whose primary symptom is constipation. Zelnorm is prescribed for a standard 4 to 6 weeks. If a person feels better and experiences a decrease in symptoms, the doctor may prescribe Zelnorm for an additional 4 to 6 weeks. </p>
<p>With any medication, even over-the-counter medications such as laxatives and fiber supplements, it is important to follow your doctor&#8217;s instructions. Some people report a worsening in abdominal bloating and gas from increased fiber intake, and laxatives can be habit forming if they are used too frequently. Medications affect people differently, and no one medication or combination of medications will work for everyone with IBS. It&#8217;s important to find a will need to work with to find the best combination of medicine, diet, counseling, and support to control the symptoms. </p>
<p>In general, these treatments are reserved for patients with moderate to severe symptoms, particularly if they experience psychological distress. Psychological treatments used to treat IBS include psychotherapy (dynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy), relaxation therapy, hypnotherapy, and biofeedback therapy. Psychological treatments can also be combined. </p>

<p>Colon Cleanse </p>
<p>Colon cleansing uses natural health &#038; herbs to help your body to heal health problems which are often related to a colon which is not functioning as nature intended. </p>
<p>More and more people are suffering from health problems, including pain, constipation and lack of energy which can be related to a dirty bowel. </p>
<p>The most important cleanse to do is <a href="http://yourhealthresources.com/tag/colon-cleansing/" rel="tag">colon cleansing</a>, because if you have a dirty colon with impacted fecal matter, this will create extra toxins which the other organs then have to continually cleanse and detox. </p>
<p align="center"><b><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/yourheacom-20">Visit The Colon Cleansing Store At Amazon</a></b></p>
<p>The #1 CANCER AMONG MEN AND WOMEN TOGETHER IS COLON CANCER. </p>
<p>The person on a typical Western Diet holds 8 meals of undigested food and waste material in the colon. Everyone would greatly benefit with doing a full Colon Cleanse at least once per year, with ongoing colon maintenance when necessary. It is recommended that Parasite Cleanse be taken at the same time as the Colon Cleanse. For optimum health, our objective should be to cleanse not only the colon, but all of the vital inner organs as well. </p>

<p align="justify">One of the most frequent bowel problems that people experience today is constipation. Constipation is generally attributed to a low fiber diet and lack of sufficient water, which cause our fecal matter to become condensed and compressed. </p>
<p>A good cleansing program should always begin by removing the waste in your colon, the last portion of your food processing chain. If you attempt to clean your liver, blood, or lymph system without first addressing a waste filled bowel, the excreted toxins will only get recycled back into your body. </p>
<p>The longer your body is exposed to putrefying food in your intestines, the greater the risk of developing disease. Even with one bowel movement per day, you will still have at least three meals worth of waste matter putrefying in your colon at all times. On top of all this, your system can also become continuously self-polluting by the poisonous gases that are caused by foods you don&#8217;t tolerate. These poisonous gases can enter your bloodstream, irritating your organs and joints. </p>
<p>Bran and raw vegetables are so rich in fibrous bulk that they cannot get through the tiny holes remaining for passage of feces in most colons. Instead they back up, fester and contribute further to the problem. There is only one good way to clean yourself out and that is by cleansing your colon. </p>
<p>Natural Cleansing Products </p>
<p>Herbal colon cleansing may decrease the risks of developing certain health problems. Many people who are affected by a health condition have found that cleansing can help their body rejuvenate itself naturally. The body&#8217;s immune system is the first line of defense against almost all infections and diseases. If your body has a strong immune system you will be less prone to infection. The immune system is made up of a vast system of lymphatic channels and lymph nodes. Detoxing your body and your colon with the right herbs and supplements is an all natural way to remove unwanted toxins and heavy metals from lymphatic system improving the overall immune system. </p>
<p>Toxins from air, food and water tend to accumulate in your body over time. Your liver, colon, small intestines, pancreas, kidneys, gallbladder, spleen and lymph nodes work in harmony and in balance to eliminate these toxins. </p>
<p>Cleansing with Fibre </p>
<p>Fibre plays an essential role in maintaining the health of the digestive system, and adequate fibre in the diet has significant value in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and other ailments. Fibre cleanses the digestive tract and enhances its function. Metabolised by intestinal bacteria into substances that prevent colon cancer, fibre dilutes and speeds the removal of carcinogens and other toxins in foods so that they spare the delicate lining of the GI tract. Fibre helps achieve optimal blood sugar control and cholesterol levels by slowing digestion and maximising cholesterol excretion.</p>

<p>Ah…the infamous colonoscopy. Something oh so familiar to most of us with IBD, but shrouded in mystery to others.</p>
<p>First off, what is a colonoscopy? According to Wikipidea, a “Colonoscopy is the minimally invasive endoscopic examination of the large colon and the distal part of the small bowel with a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus.” Um&#8230;camera up anus = “minimally invasive”&#8230;not sure who wrote that but I would assume they never had one. So basically, they stick a camera where the sun don’t shine so they can have a look at what is going on up there and what&#8217;s causing all your pain or bleeding, or whatever else caused them to stick that camera up there.</p>
<p>To most, this sounds a little uncomfortable and not something that you would want to do for fun. Well…in all honesty it’s not all that bad. For those who have been through this a few times we can tell you that the preparation for a colonoscopy is far worse than the colonoscopy itself. So, lets talk about the prep.</p>
<p><span style="float: left"></span><span style="float: left"><br />
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-8096163373271288";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
google_ad_format = "250x250_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel = "";

google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "000000";

</span></p>
<p align="justify">Since we are going to be having pictures of our colon taken it would make sense, and be rather beneficial, if there was no “crap” in your colon to get in the way of the tiny camera. So yes, we are going to have to clean it out, and clean it out good. Methods of doing this will vary based on your physician, but most entail drinking a really tasty cocktail, taking laxatives, and perhaps an enema. Oh yeah, no eating either…since we are trying to clean out the colon it doesn’t make any sense to put more stuff in it. The prep usually begins with a clear liquid diet approximately 24 hours before the colonoscopy and then the laxatives and yummy cocktail sometime later.</p>
<p>Time for a few tips: Make sure you have a stack of good magazines or a good book in the bathroom. Also, splurge for the expensive toilet paper. And finally…Don’t stray far from the bathroom cause once you take the laxative and drink your cocktail you and the Porcelain God are going to become close friends for the next few hours.</p>
<p>Having an appointment for the colonoscopy early in the morning is highly recommended by yours truly. The reason for this is you’ll get to eat again that much sooner. Once the preparation is over the rest is cake. To start, an IV will be started and you will be mildly sedated. You will lay on your left side and that will usually be the last thing you remember until you wake up. During the colonoscopy the Doctor will be able to do all kinds of great things with that scope of his. He will first of all get a great look at your colon. He or She will also be able to take biopsy’s as well as remove any polyps. Most importantly they will hopefully find the cause of your symptoms.</p>
<p>You will need someone to drive you home as you will be mildly “wasted” from the sedation following the colonoscopy, and won’t be able to drive or operate heavy machinery for the rest of the day. Your results of the colonoscopy are usually available right there and then except for biopsy results which usually take a few days.</p>
<p>And that’s it…That’s all there is to it. By far the worst part is the prep but once you make it through that the worst is then behind you. And make sure you go somewhere really good for lunch that day as a reward for making it! One more thing…Make sure you smile for those pictures ; )</p>
