I have been following your threads about the constipation and colonics. I have never had or wanted to have a colonic. I have had a stubborn colon in the past. I have found aloe vera juice to help me keep normal. Aloe Vera capsules work too. I just drink a little before bed time. Start slow and work up to an amount that works. Too much will give you quick diareah. Good luck with the doctor. I think that it is good to get an experts opinion first. Perhaps you will find alternative medicine helpful alongside the doctors recommendation, or as a preventative in the future. :-)
