You might lose weight, but it's not fat, so what's the point?8

Please don't. Unless you need it for a medical procedure, it is not healthy at all.12
-
Unless you're doing it to prepare for a colonoscopy, it's completely unnecessary11
-
Not necessary at all and in fact it of not healthy at all either. You aren't going to lose any fat doing this just poop.1
-
Just ask someone who has had a colonoscopy. It's minimal change and comes right back.7

Don't bother.0 -
As everybody is saying, don't do it unless it is for a medical procedure. It flushes out all of the "good" flora that your body needs.5

that was enough for me to kill that idea.
Thank you!!! 13 -
I did. I admit it. I fell for this probably about 10-ish years ago.
It was brutally painful, a bit mortifying (it's not your finest moment when you're lying on your side on a table, while a cute young girl is flushing your *kitten* with saline while it fills a bucket next to you of your stinky renmnats). I ended up having to go to the ER about a week later because I suffered from such severe constipation. I had to take a supplement to help me take a dump for almost an entire year after having one.
Don't do this. Please.15 -

Awesome! As someone who has had multiple colonoscopies the prep is definitely not fun. Note: I'm going to be doing my last prep ever soon and so so excited to never have to do it again!5 -

I like you already
They just make you poop and that is the 1lb or so you'd lose.2 -

Woohoo! My best friend has UC and she always hated those too.0 -

It's a good/bad woohoo though lol. I'm having surgery which would make future colonoscopies impossible

Its called Flat Tummy Tea, it more of a green tea. It really helps me with bloating. you get 2 kinds one for days helps with energy and focus and the other for every other night that's a cleanse. its not a strong cleanse so im not running to the bathroom all the time but it works great when I have eaten a bunch of junk and need to get rid of my bloated belly.2 -
Ooooo...is this back? This was super trendy in the '90s2

Laxatives aren't meant to be used to get rid of bloat or as a fix for eating a bunch of junk. The more you use it the more you become dependent on it and you won't be able to poop without using it.

I live in a disgustingly hipster area and there's a raw vegan restaurant/yoga studio/massage therapy center/colonic center (yes, they're all those things at once) in my neighborhood. It's definitely back.3 -
Cleanses, powders, pills and wraps are unnecessary. Eat your recommended calories. Drink water. Spending $40-50 a month on "tea" is ridiculous.4

I am legitimately shocked that people would consider eating at a place that also did colon cleanses. That is not something I want to be thinking about when I'm eating.13 -

Or smelling, for that matter.

I don't drink the tea all the time, I will not become dependent on it. I am one of those people who doesn't go poop as much as I should so a little help added with bunch of green veggies doesn't hurt. and trust me I DO NOT have the money to buy it every month LOL0 -

I was shocked too. The entire concept of that place is totally disjointed.0 -

I'm glad to hear you don't have the money for it too often. Teas like that is how I slipped into laxative abuse. When they stopped being as effective (cause body gets used to it) I switched to stronger OTC stuff. Then when that stopped working I went to the doctor for prescription strength stuff. He eventually sent me to therapy. It took years to reteach my body how to have a BM without the help of laxatives.4 -
OP: Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet that includes 30% to 80% good quality, high fiber fruits and vegetables in each meal, and forget about teas and cleanses.0

I would worry about potential cross contamination. Which could infect and kill someone.2
