Hi,
I've actually been reading this list serve and trying to do a few cleanses over the past few months. I've concluded that I have some type of irritated bowel syndrome, or at least that my digestion and elimination is quite sensitive. (Part of this is because I have pinworms, which I'm also trying to cleanse). At least half the time, my stools are watery and have undigested food. Does anyone have any advice?
I started taking Dr. Schulze #1 and that was way too much for me--I was going 6-8 times a day! Now I am on P&B shakes and Cleanse Smart herbs from RenewLife. Cleanse Smart is much easier on my system, but the problem is that whenever I miss the supplements for a day or 2, I get totally clogged up. That's scary--is that my body forming a dependency on the laxative properties of the herbs?
Anyway, my question is, will I be distorting my digestion and elimination any further by continuing on the P&Bs? Or should I try to take some herbs to regulate my elimination first, before doing a bowel cleanse? I actually think I have seen Irritated Bowel Syndrome herbal programs at the health food store..
Also, I guess that I was thinking that I should take some bowel-cleansing herbs withthe p&b shakes, which is why I started the Cleanse Smart. Are p&bs alone enough to cleanse the colon? are there any helpful herbs that should be taken? At this point I think that my best option is to begin P&Bs again (I stopped for the last week as I've been really il with the flu) without any of the supplements. The main reason I want to do a thorough Colon Cleanse is to follow up with a good parasite cleanse (I am currently taking anti- parasite herbs as well)--that is my main issue!
Thanks for any advice you can possibly provide,
Jes

I think your instincts to do the P&B shakes is right on. Do them as much as you possibly can, and ONLY take herbs to increase peristaltic action (laxatives) when you need to.
Psyllium seed is water-soluble so you usually do not need laxatives when taking it, you just need to drink enough water throughout the day - most people's mistake and cause for constipation. The shake, when done properly, is really all you need to cleanse and strengthen the colon. It, in effect, "scours" the walls of the colon, removing debris. It does not make you dependent on it.
Take as much as you can for about 3-4 weeks and then do the parasite cleanse recommended here, or choose something specific to pinworms. Until then, eat very very simple foods, cooked not raw, mostly hot cereals, soups and fresh-squeezed veggie juices, so that you feed YOU and not the pinworms.
HOpe that helps! :)

This is a reply to # 415,895hi, i use enemas to clean my colon. i had hemorrhoids, but they are shrinking quickly. i learned that if you don't put any pressure on your anus, by making sure everything slides through by itself, then no irritation develops. also, i felt i had pinworms, because i would itch so much, esp at night, but after a few enemas, i haven't had any itching. perhaps they live between swollen tissue? hmm. many here would suggest a colonic or two to cleanse your bowel.- Re: Irritated bowel..

Hi,
I'm interested in your experience with hemorrhoids, as my main symptom at this point is anal itching. I'm pretty sure that I have pinworms, as I have had this condition for a few years now, and all the parasite symptoms seem to line up.. When I first did a parasite cleanse a few months ago, the itching got really intense and I was getting strange hives and stuff, so I am thinking I have pinworms. And I actually saw *one* in the toilet on thanksgiving day, but so far this is the only one I have id'd for sure.
Right now (thankfully!), the itching at night (which was like clockwork) has much subsided, but now I get itchy at strange times, like after eating or just during the day or in the evening, so I'm trying to think about other reasons as well. I've also read that candida can make you itch.. And I've thought about hemorrhoids, but I don't know why I would have them. I'm rarely constipated. Is it possible that I could have given myself hemorrhoids from itching that area in the past? I'm not sure, I just know that the itching always returns and it's driving me nuts! ; )If you have any advice or info, please let me know.
thanks for your help,
Jesie

This is a reply to # 415,895Jes,
I know what I am going to say is no answer to your question about P&B shake, but here it goes.
I have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome-mostly of the D kind but sometimes of the C kind. Mine seems to get aggrevated by hormone fluctuations). Colon hydrotherapy helped me IMMENSELY. I didn't think it would work this well, really, but I haven't had any problems for over a month now (I had 6 session so far since beginning of November.) I am wondering if the colon hydrotherapy got rid of some old toxic materials that were irritating to the lining of my colon.
I initially started out taking a bowel spasm formula from Nature's Sunshine with recommendation from my hydrotherapist but I quit the supplement after 3 days because I wanted to see the effect of the hydrotherapy without any other varables in the mix, and I had no problem without the supplement. (I'd say my IBS is 95% better.)
I am thinking of switching over from the $65 per session hydrotherapy to the in-home enema route (more cost effective) and see if this method will keep the IBS at bay as well as the colon hydrotherapy sessions.
tamm- Thank you for all the great advice!! jjjnnn

Hi,
Thank to all of you for your advice and support. I've been "cleansing" (with a simple diet and herbs) for about 3 months now, and it is great to have people out there to share knowledge about this whole experience. It gets so complicated sometimes!! I never even thought of myself as having an irritated bowel, but now as I am paying so much attention to my bodily functions, I'm uncovering all these new issues..
For now, I'm going to restart the p&b shakes, and continue with the anti- parasite plan, and I would also like to do some colonic hydrotherapy. I've also been to a Chinese herbalist, who would basically diagnose my symptoms as "dampness"--loose watery stools, candida--making the body a hospitable place for parasites and yeast overgrowth. The herbalist has given me some drying herbs which are applied topically, so I'm going to try that as well.
Thanks again for your words of wisdom!!
Jesie
