    Don't do it........

    There are no health or weight loss benefits and, in some cases it is actually harmful.

    In fact, colon cleansing can sometimes be harmful. Colon cleansing can cause side effects, such as cramping, bloating, nausea and vomiting. More serious concerns with colon cleansing are that it can:

    Increase your risk of dehydration
    Lead to bowel perforations
    Increase the risk of infection
    Cause changes in your electrolytes, which can be dangerous if you have kidney disease or other health problems

    The only colon irrigation you might need is a colonoscopy, and that should be discussed with your doctor.
