Have any of you ever tried any colon cleanse products? I'm looking at one called "Colonix" as a way to clean my insides out a bit...not expecting a big weight loss with it. I just want to feel cleaner and do the best for my body, you know? Just let me know if you have had any experiences with these, good or bad. Thanks in advance!!!:flowerforyou:

    My sister-in-law recommended it to me, so I used it for 3 months. It was very gentle, but effective. I felt like it was a good thing to do. I used all the pills but had about 2/3 of a can of the powder drink left over at the end of the 3 months, so I use it every couple of months now (for about a week at a time) when I'm feeling "stopped up" or if I need more fiber. It doesn't taste really great, but it's not any worse than the brands you buy at the pharmacy or grocery store. More expensive, yes, but I liked that it had all the herbs and high-quality fiber. Like you said, I didn't experience any huge weight loss with it, but I did feel "cleaner". And it forced me to get into the habit of drinking a lot of water. If I didn't, I was in serious pain.

    It works as advertised but for a third of the cost, you can get "Psyllium Husks Powder" at the health food store. It is the very first ingredient on the "Colonix."

    I've tried both, and both were equally as effective.

    if you type colon cleanse into the search bar under Message Boards you will find pages and pages of them. I would recommend reading through some, they are very informative.

    no. not at all. i'm on a detox cleanse right now. only fruits and veggies. nothing else. It cleaned me out the first night AND the next morning. It wasn't the most pleasant experience but i definitely feel "clean" now. and if you do it for 14 days, you feel GREAT! and I've lost 4lbs since Wednesday last week. :-)

    Thank you to everyone who gave me their advice. I really didn't want to buy the cleanse, and now I'm sure that I'm not going to. I will try the fruit and veggies for a couple of days to see if that helps. Maybe some physllim stuff...and I know that I didn't spell that right...:blushing: :laugh:
