Colon cleanser post op?
I was thinking about using a colon cleanser to detoxify my body after all the pain meds, etc. I will be 8 weeks out on Tuesday. Has anyone else done this? What are your thoughts about it?

I understand where you are coming from but i would still be super careful. Your body is still so delicate. I stuck to water and exercise. I didnt do any detox for quite awhile.

Re: Colon cleanser post op?
"detox" is a marketing word. To get medication out of your system boost your metabolism. Drink water and decaf green tea, walk as much as you feel comfortable with and eat healthy,
fresh, ( not processed foods). Limit simple sugars, skip juice and have real
fruit. If you feel you digestive system
and colon are not working well, ask your doctor. Pain meds can cause constipation and antibiotics can kill of the healthy intestinal flora in your digestive tract, your doctor can prescribe a probiotic to fix that. Or, the less expensive way is to each yogurt with live cultures... But watch out for high sugar yogurt. It can cause more gas.
Good luck,

Funkgoddess,
I couldn't agree more! The body is quiet good at getting rid of "toxins". Doctors don't tell their patients that they need to "detox"? It is purely a marketing ploy.
