drink a probiotic - called Kerfir - found at grocery stores and health food stores.  more powerful than yougurt - great for getting your bowel back to the "right" chemical balance.  drink lots of water and becareful if you eat a lot of fiber - slowly add fiber ( and you must drink plenty of water with any food containing fiber)

Oat bran, always drink lots of water or hot herbal tea or coffee, get a mineral oil enema and use it, take stool softener or milk of magnesia. Have a specific time each day to try to go. Prune juice will only give you gas so forget about that.

If you're looking to buy pills, I haven't had any luck with them. Maybe 1 extra time "going" per day. (Isn't it horrible how we have to censor certain words even when talking medically on this forum?)\nI had some luck getting colonics. That's when you go to a place and they irrigate your colon with warm water. It's not gross at all, no smell or mess, and WOW the stuff that comes out!  Technically I think it's called "colonic irrigation" or "Colonic hydrotherapy"--it's $70-100 a session.\nI wouldn't reccommend the "liver flush" the colonic people push. I've had a couple and they didn't do much for me except take my money.

Hi Suresh\n\nIt's obvious you need to cleanse your colon (you probably have candida). Here is an idea on how to start the healing process.\n\n\nA Quick Action Plan for Dealing with Candida \n\n1. Find out if you have Candida overgrowth through Darkfield Microscopy blood work testing, electrodermal screening, or other reliable screening, and proceed accordingly. \n\n2. Eliminate all sugar and sugar-containing foods, including alcohol, sweetened chocolate and soda. Eat no fruit other than grapefruit, green apples, and small quantities of berries. Release caffeine products, including coffee and black tea. \n\n3. Do not eat foods that contain yeast or flour such as bread, biscuits, muffins, bagels, cookies, etc. Avoid fermented foods such as soy sauce, and only use apple cider vinegar. \n\n4. Obtain adequate amounts of essential nutrients including vitamin A, beta carotene, all B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, chromium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, essential fatty acids, and the amino acid, taurine. \n\n5. Supplement with the probiotics acidophilus and bifidobacteria. \n\n6. Take digestive enzymes, including ones with amylase and cellulose, as they help eliminate unhealthy yeasts while also aiding overall digestion. Hydrochloric acid (HC1) may be useful as well. \n\n7. Useful herbal remedies include barberry, caprylic acid, citrus seed extract, garlic, goldenseal, oil of oregano, Oregon grape, and tea tree oil. \n\n8. Avoid the use of antibiotics, birth control pills, and all synthetic hormones. Avoid conventionally produced inorganic dairy products, choosing raw organic dairy whenever possible. \n\n9. Dealing with Candida requires a comprehensive treatment approach; significant improvements may not be noticeable for three to six months. Seek the help of an alternative health practitioner experienced with Candida, if you need support. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

This has helped me and I got the advice from a colon doctor who follows his own advice:\n\nEvery morning eat a bowl of "All Bran" or "Fiber One" cereal, with some fruit or dried fruit (for taste).  (the above cereals have the highest, by far, of fiber content per serving)\n\nAfter a few weeks of doing this, I became "more regular" and did not have to eat it every day.

First, quit trying to make your body fit a schedule.  That's artificial and will cause more problems in the long run - it may even make your suffering worse.  What you want is a good easy clean bowel movement.  If you get to that point, timing shouldn't be a problem.\n\nSo - add more fiber to your diet.  However, you don't have to do the nasty metamucil/bran sludge thing - the following will give you fiber:\n\nWhole grain breads (easy way to add more fiber if you eat white bread or that "whole wheat" bread that is slightly browner than white); brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat variations on pasta;  beans; dried fruit such as raisins or apples; veggies, especially the crunchy ones (don't need to be eaten crunchy, just to start crunchy);  ditto fruits, especially apples. However, probably the only fruit juice that will help is the OJ with extra pulp.  \n\nOrange peel is very good for fiber.  If you eat an orange, nibble on the peel when your finished.  If you eat toast, try marmalade.\n\nSo how does an oatmeal raisin cookie with some candied orange peel sound?\n\nOh, and drink lots of liquids, while you are at it.  The lower intestine can be too good at sucking out liquid.

This question is under Computer Monitors?  You might get more help in another forum.\n\nFor a colon cleans you should eat plenty of green fiberous vegatables and drink lots of water. Multiply your body weight in pounds and multiply times .55 to get the minimum number of ounces of water you should drink in a day.  So if you are 200 lb you should be drinking 110 oz's a day of water.  You need the water to purify yourself and wash out the impurities.\n\nAvoid "white foods" during this time. No white bread, no milk. High fiber bread is okay (but not your average "wheat bread" which has little fiber in it).  Read the labels!\n\nOil in your diet is important as it helps provide lubrication and revitalization for your cell membranes.  I recommend Udo's Choice Oil Blend - use it as a salad dressing. It is a blend of Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 oils in a proper balance.

You eat really badly and you need a colon cleanse.  Clearly you are putting a lot of bad things in your body.  That smell of death is not a joke.  You probably have some dead things in there-like bad meat etc.  Try organic and juicing for a while.

my suggestion would be a mild Colon cleanse, all bad things start in the Colon and if it is gunked up it will cause bacteria to grow and cause lots of skin problems, I have a teen that had bad acne and we used all types of cleanser and such no help 5 days into 21 day cleanse cleared up and no problem since. for more info email me

I would try the master cleanse.  Take the juice of one lemon, mix with water, a tablespoon of pure maple syrup and a sprinkle of cayenne.  That will clean you out.  Or try one day of just Johnathon apples or  just celery.

Drink a lot of water, that will helps cleans out your colons and makes you fit.\nA better alternative is to drink a lukewarm water with a squeeze of lemon, use the first gulp to cleans out your teeth and tongue and spit it out, it is believed to diminish the bacteria in your mouth. Drink the rest sip by sip to wakes up your system.\nI do a bit of yoga before I stand up, by lying down and pull your knee up until your chest and hold your breath, after release it to straight position quickly while releasing your breath, do this 4 times it will help your stomach peristaltic movement.

Castor Oil Cleansing works the best for me. I Take four ounces (I know the article says two but four works better) early in the morning and it really works well. Cleans the gallbladder and bile duct too!!! See Sources for explicit details. I usually follow this with a warm water enema or two (Sometimes Coffee enema) I use a fairly easy to obtain Fleet Bagenema it holds 1500ML of water, add a teaspoon of table salt to each one to cut down on absorption. Start out in the knee chest position and then the lest side position. From there go to where it is most comfortable. Try to take in the whole 1500ML and hold it for 10 to 15 minutes. When doing the cleansing be sure to drink at least 8 to 10 ounces of water an hour to stay hydrated and to eat yogurt when you are done. The yogurt puts a good flora in your bowel and is good to add to your diet. I do this once a month and have for years. It has made me far healthier!! The two source sites that promote coffee enemas have good general enema instructions - But some of ther other stuff is a little off the wall!!! Good Luck and Good Health.
