    Who told you that waste sticks to your colon walls for years?! That's not how your body works.

    I'm guessing the people that want to sell her colonics!!

    There WAS an ad on the local radio for some sort of cleanse claiming just that a number of years back. I've learned enough over time to recognize woo when I hear it, but when a person hears something like that over the public airwaves (repeated several times the hour), knowing that "false advertising" isn't allowed—and even if you aren't 100% clear on what sorts of claims fall under the definition, you THINK you do—it can be easy to think there might be SOMETHING to it.

    I remember those! Was actually thinking about that as I read this thread!

    @janejellyroll With Colonics its not about expelling waste before it digests. Its about removing waste that's been stuck to the colon walls for years. LOL about the haircut.

    What's the source for that?

    Colon cleanses expels money from your wallet both for the procedure and the medical bills you would have if your colon were to tear during the procedure. It can really mess up your gut flora as well. If you feel your digestion is subpar look into eating prebiotic foods which is much cheaper and safer than having gallons of water (or coffee) pressure shot up your rectum.

    Or perhaps get an appointment with a GI?

    OP Please make sure you are eating all the calories MFP has given you in that one meal so you get your nutrition in.

    All one needs to do to see how false the whole "years of waste in your colon" is ...... is hit 50 and get your colonoscopy screening. One day of no eating while drinking a lot of stuff that tastes terrible and then they scope you to see that you are fine.

    That is an option, but it sounds like OP is trying to "optimize" instead of just settling for boring regular digestion. GI can't help with that.

    Unfortunately, neither can colonics. They’re more likely to do harm than good.

    Or get food poisoning or a stomach flu (both I have experienced again in the last 2 years) and you will be sure there is nothing left.
