Collin Cleanse?

Has anyone ever done a colon cleanse? Like by eating high fiber foods or using supplements? I am thinking that I may need to do this and I was just wondering if anyone ever has or if anyone has done any research that shows negative side effects.

Thanks!

    It's "colon", not "collin". :laugh:

    If you think this is snarky, just wait until you see the other responses you will inevitably receive......

    If you have functioning organs, you don't need to do a cleanse.

    Also, my friend Collin is perfectly clean, thank you!

    I know a couple of cool Collins, so why would I want to cleanse myself of them?

    Why do you think you need to do a colon cleanse?

    Forget the supplements and magic pills and potions.....stick to a high fibre diet (fruits, vegetables, some extra bran sprinkled on your cereal etc), stay well hydrated and exercise regularly and (barring any medical conditions) you needn't do anything else.

    I just think that because I've been eating poorly for so long that I may be... "stopped up" if that make sense. I thought maybe I should do a cleanse and start fresh...just flush my system.

    And you're all hilarious about my misspelling. I knew I spelled it wrong haha brain fart LMAO :)

    No you don't need to do one.

    Just start eating better now and don't bother with "cleanses."

    holy crap...people have been telling me that the '90s are coming back...I didn't realize they were serious or that was for real...I haven't heard of anyone having a high colonic since like 1994...

    hows your fiber intake now? likely less than it should be.
    get that to a better level and you'll regulate in no time.

    i dont think you need a cleanse of any kind.

    if regularity is the main issue....up your fiber.
    if weightloss is the issue...eat at a deficit.

    Here I will give you the best colon cleanse secret ever invented. Go get *kitten* faced drunk. Stop by White Castle/Krystal Burger (whatever is in your area) eat 6 burgers with everything. I guarantee in the morning you will cleanse EVERYTHING out of your colon!

    :drinker:

    Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to quote anything in particular.

    I have done a colon cleanse. It involved a liquid only diet, Dulcolax and a lot of Miralax.

    that just about gave me a colonic right there....

    OP, try laughing really hard....

    but seriously OP, we all jest...take a look at your fiber intake as well as dietary fat intake and make sure you're getting enough of both. Also, really heavy squats...

    Water will flush out anything that needs flushed.
