colon cleansing

[katiek]

There is so much hype about colon cleansing. Any one tried to do this while on atkins? Is it healthy? Safe? Necessary? I'm doing induction after consuming a few too many carbs on vacation (felt fine, look fine, just needed to refocus), and I'm wanting to start the Bowtrol pills. They had good reviews in several places. Any input would be great!
Thanks!

Hi Katherine.
I don't believe in color cleansing unless there is a real problem and if we eat our veggies and occasionally flax meal, we shouldn't have a problem. Checking google, I think Bowtrol is a big scam and I wouldn't waste my money.

Bowtrol does not work. I thought I would try this before I re-started Atkins and it was just a waste of my money. My Mom bought a different brand took it for 2 months and no results.

Re: colon cleansing

I think everyone's different and sometimes a good "cleaning of the pipes" is necessary, especially if you've lived a good portion of your life eating very few veggies and fiber rich food. I personally was having issues with BM's and Candida so I began my search for a safe and effective colon cleanse. This is the one I went with and I'm pleased with the results. I'm on the last day of the detox and it has really been an interesting experience. My eating habits have certainly changed for the better so I don't think this is something I'll be doing again. My "eliminations are now more regular and productive if you will.

That is all helpful information. I think I'll do some more research. Thanks!
