When one is constipated one starts to feel very bloated and unwell and you will do anything to try to alleviate the symptoms. The reason for this is that toxins are building up within us, leaving us bloated and fatigued. The re-establishing of a regular bowel movement can be achieved by using laxatives, but they are very harsh on the intestinal lining. Other treatments are the use of an enema, either at home or at one of the clinics that have recently appeared in the high street. These treatments are thought to be generally safe as long as they are not done too frequently. Having tried colonic irrigation at such an establishment, I found it a pleasurable experience. The therapist will hook you up to a machine by means of a tube which is inserted into the rectum. The machine dispenses water in great quantities and that flushes out all the impacted waste that has accumulated in the colon over the years. This process takes about forty five minutes to one hour. The treatment is finished when the water runs clear from the colon. This treatment leaves you feeling very well for some days. The trouble is that this procedure can be very addictive. It must be remember that over use of this facility will also flush out the good bacteria with the bad, leaving the intestine with an imbalanced flora. This can lead to infections as the good bacteria have disappeared. This is the reason why this procedure should not be used extensively. Many experts believe that the colon should be cleansed only once a year, but how does one keep clear of constipation for the rest of the year? The answer is a healthy diet with high fibre content. The fibres can be obtained by eating brown rice whole wheat pastas. Another good source of fibre is to grow your own leafy vegetables such as cabbages, spinach and spring greens. These can be obtained also from the supermarket if you have no means of cultivating these vegetables yourself. The trick is to stay clear from all the convenience foods that are so popular with busy households. They contain very refined foodstuffs with very little dietary fibre and they also contain colourants, artificial flavours and other unnatural things which have absolutely no nutritional value. If you follow this dietary advice and have a colon cleanse occasionally with the use of capsules which are advertised on the internet, one should feel good all year round. These products are generally made of all natural ingredients, but please do your research by visiting the many sites available. They are much kinder to the gut than laxatives. These pills are also packed with oxygenating preparations which will help the body get rid of an over infestation of harmful bacteria. Pathogens, as these bacteria are also called, cannot thrive when oxygen is present in the dark murky places of the colon and they will soon die off. In fact, the process is called die off and it might make you feeling very unwell for a few days.
