So this might not be something that you would think people would ask a dietitian but I assure you, they do...people want to know what's up with colon cleansing.
Here's the deal: DON'T DO IT. It is not medically recommended and from the stories I have heard, it's incredibly unpleasant. There are potential risks: pain, vomiting, serious and even fatal infections. Your body does NOT need help cleaning its colon. It knows what it's doing in there so let it be!
Check out this article for more information: http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/AlternativeMedicine/27280 , which cites the Journal of Family Practice article entitled, "The dangers of colon cleansing."
And that's the Real Deal today.
