Do colon clensers really work?

Does it really clean your colon? Do you feel superior, less bloated?

Answer:
Please don't use them It's a scam. All they do is make you have super diarrhea. I tell everyone the same thing. Your colon has good bacteria and bad bacteria. Your body will take care of itself without the use of colon cleansers. What they do is kill off not only the bad bacteria, but the good as well. then you leave yourself wide open for more problems. You won't lose belly fat or weight. You will loose precious electrolytes by having diarrhea. It's a glorified enema, that's all and I wish the FDA would ban these useless products. Don't buy into it. It has scam written all over it. Sometimes we need extra help, but the products we use, like Phillips, won't kill off good bacteria. You don't want to hurt yourself. As for do they clean your colon, yes, but be prepared to spend a lot of time in the water closet with a good magazine. You won't feel better because you'll end up with a sore butt. I don't know of any other way to put it. You know what kills me about the FDA, they won't approve of medicines that can really benefit the population but will allow something like this on the market. Sometimes I think the over the counter medications need a serious second look at. Just eat raw veggies, green, or steam veggies is you don't like raw. With the raw veggies, you will get the same effect only not so drastic. God bless. I wish you the ideal.

Answer:
No scientific documented evidence exists that colon cleansers really clean the colon, make you feel superior or even less bloated. Evidence does exist that the colon cleanses itself naturally and that colon cleansers are a waste of time and money. In some cases the cleansers can cause unintended damage to the colon by removing the natural bacteria needed by the body. Always check with a doctor before 'trying' something out.

Answer:
the people who make them claim they do. they are tough on the digestive system. your colon is naturally self cleaning. i had a colon resection in 2007. i had to flush my system for two days prior to surgery. my doc said this is only necessary if you,re having surgery. i was as clean as a whistle. i also felt terrible.
