Pages: 1 colonics       #218792 - 10/10/05 07:37 PM Edit Reply Quote lsgator Reged: 10/08/05 Posts: 6 Loc: Orlando, FL Hi my name is Laura and I was diganosed with IBS in August so I bought the book and started reading and changed my diet to the best of my ability. I am still not sure if IBS is what I have but I am pretty sure. I know it is not cancer of anykind or gallstones. I just don't feel wel like all the time.At first it was IBS-C but now it is mostly IBS-D. So I guess it is A. I wanted to know if anyone ever tried colonics. Also I am thinking about trying acupuncture and I wanted to know how it helps. Sorry if this question has been posted before. -------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me!

I would definetly try acupuncture before colonics. Infact, I would only go for a colonic if it was the last option left! Its highly invasive and not good for a sensitive bowel. I know you are probably desperate to be rid of this hideous problem...but colonic is 99% of the time NOT the way to go. Try exercise, yoga, massage, chiropracter, acupuncture, diet etc before this. -------------------- Feel the fear and do it anyway!

REALLY not a good idea. They're far too harsh for a sensitive IBS colon.

Very bad, very not good idea for an IBS person!! -------------------- God is Faithful!

Have you looked into the IBS hypnotherapy that's endorsed by Heather? I did the cds for the last 100 days of my pregnancy and have been IBS-free since. I was IBS-C. now, I have no idea if my temporary-but-hoping-it's-permanent remission is from pregnancy hormones or the cds, but it can't hurt. At the very least, you'll get a very relaxing half hour of "you" time each day. -------------------- ~jules Edited by jules (10/11/05 11:30 AM) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
