Best Colon Cleanse

The best colon cleanse is the one that works best for you. Here are the results that you’re looking for:

• You have a bowel movement after every meal. This doesn’t mean it’s a runny

stool or diarrhea. Instead, it’s a formed stool. It should occur 15 to 30 minutes

after the meal. Some things that can interfere with this type of regularity are:

• hormone irregularities such as low thyroid hormone

• not enough water drunk during the day

• lots of processed foods are eaten

• The bowel movements generally have no odor to them, or minimal odor. When there’s an odor, it’s because the food is undigested and is fermenting or because the food has been in the colon (constipation) for too long. When the food moves through the colon as it should, it doesn’t linger.

• The feces is not hard and pebbly. It’s formed slightly such as the consistency of peanut butter (no chunks!). Diarrhea means that the person needs a colon cleanse just as much as someone with constipation.

The best colon cleanser will most likely be an herbal formula that contains a unique combination of herbs that your body responds to well.

Some people take a colon cleanser and then find out that it causes a lot of bloating and gas, even abdominal pain and even bloody stools. It’s okay if this happens for one day and then subsides but if it continues, then it’s important to get it checked out medically. This type of situation can result from being the wrong combination of herbs. One or two of the herbs in that combination do not agree with the person. It can also occur because the herbs in the formula are helping restore the intestinal tract with the right bacteria and the bad bacteria are being moved out.

When something like this occurs, it’s important to realize that all colon cleansers are not like this. The person just needs to keep looking for the best colon cleanse for his or her body.

While taking the best colon cleanse for your body, you can still expect a little digestive system upset for the first few days. Whether or not you have a little upset is dependent on several things:

• if you are constipated or not. If you are constipated, you will probably have a little bit of abdominal pain as the “message” of the herbs gets to the colon and starts moving the contents through the body.

• if you have the proper flora in your intestines. If you often have gas and bloating and indigestion, the chances are good that you also have some problems with the flora in the intestinal tract. The herbs will help set the bacteria straight.

• if you have had problems with diarrhea or Crohn’s disease. If you have these issues, it usually indicates that there’s a possibility of a pathogenic bacteria, fungus, or parasite that is causing the problem. A colon cleanse can move some of these microbes or parasites out of the body and reduce their numbers. When their numbers are reduced, then it’s easy to start feeling better.

The best colon cleanse is one that restores your colon to work as it should. Keep looking for one until you find it.
