    The only reason to do a colon cleaning is if you are having a colonoscopy.

    if you're having issues "going" try adding more fiber to your diet.

    I'm not having any issues ... just had heard that you should "cleanse" every once in awhile to get rid of old waste.

    What old waste? If your intestines are working properly, you have no old waste. If they aren't working properly, you should discuss that with a doctor.

    Fiber is all the colon cleanser you need. Vegetables, fruits, whole grains. But you can get fiber pills if you'd rather take a pill.

    And if you really want a good quick cleaning out, get a Fleet enema. Messy and unpleasant, but you will be clean as a whistle.

    If you still have "old waste" in there then you're having issues with constipation.

    The body is self cleaning internally, if you eat a healthful diet.

    Srsly though if you are interested in the health of your gut, take a quality probiotic, eat yogurt with live cultures, and consume plenty of fiber.

    Or diverticulitis, which is a serious enough medical condition that the OP would feel rather quickly if she had it . . .

    Anyone who tells you that you need to cleanse your colon is trying to sell you something. And if they something they are trying to sell you contains senna, then it is an incredibly dangerous something.

    You might want to check out this article: http://naturopathictherapies.net/index.php/services/13-colon-therapy

    I like professional colonics (colon hydrotherapy) or as an alternative, using a colema board.

    I tried a product called Colonix and I think it really worked well. I also have heard you should cleanse once in a while. No matter how regularly you go to the bathroom there is always built up waste on the walls of your intestines. The only thing is it was expensive and it's a drink and it's kind of icky. There is a powder, a tea, and pills that you take and if you do it in the right order and everyday you'll definately be able to tell. It also not one of those things that you have to worry about all of a sudden having to find a bathroom.

    No. No. NO. You don't need to cleanse.

    Cleanse by bathsheba_c

    To cleanse or not to cleanse? That is the question.
    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of non-specific toxins
    Or to take arms against a sea of imagined bowel obstructions
    And by opposing, perforate one's colon. To juice; to detox;
    No more; and by a detox to say we end
    The pH and the balance of intestinal flora
    That guts are heir to, 'tis a consummation
    Devoutly to be avoided. To juice; to detox;
    To detox: perchance to puke: aye, there's the rub;
    For in the pangs of indigestion what side-effects may come
    When we go and leave our undies soiled.
