Hey Guys, i think it was in this thread about acne:

That colon cleansing was brought up. As I've been having digestive issues off and on since college I figured I might as well give it a try. I got the colon-cleansing kit from Blessed Herbs found below:
http://www.blessedherbs.com/Internal-Cleansing/Cleansing-Kits/the-Colon-Cleansing-Kit-H-3882.html
And modified the directions found therein to suit my particular situation. I started on 9.13.07, the directions state you can have as much water and organic juice as you like, so i had as much as i craved. I also had an orange for lunch just to give my stomache something to work on. They give you packets of toxin absorber (fiber + Herbs) that you mix with apple juice and drink 5x a day. It had the consistency of a smoothie, and the ginger flavor went well with the apple juice. They also give you Digestive Stimulator capsules, which you take as often as you need to in order to have 3 bowel movements a day. Finding the right number takes a bit of time and experimentation, on the first day i took three. I was constipated pretty badly, so i had to play with this number as time went on.
9.14.07
Another 5 TAs and 4 DS caps. I also had plenty of juice and water. I could definitely feel the TA moving through my intestines, and got pretty sleepy in the evening, so i napped from 4-6pm. I also had half a beet salad and some strawberries.
9.15.07
I took a TA in the AM and found myself feeling bloated with constipation. Since it was bothering me i took an enema and it helped me pooh - it appeared relatively normal, so no interesting "results" yet.I started adjusting the way i took the DS, and started taking 3 of them every hour before the TA. I also had a shrimp, plenty of juice and water.
9.16.07
Again i had cramping and bloating, so i took another enema and pooh'd. Felt much better afterward. I continued the TA/DS regiment as above, and in the evening i cheated and had 10 potato chips and a small bowl of lentil soup. Boy was that a mistake, i got major bloating, and later the women in the office told me that salt was a bad idea. Learning that lesson the hard way, i kept away from salt for the rest of the cleanse. I was also pretty stuffy in the evening, with my ears leaking a very watery earwax and my nose running non-stop.
9.17.07
I skipped the DS in the morning, and took the TA @ 10, 1, 4, 7, and 10. This was the first day i pooh'd easily and out came the "results" demonstrated on the website - dark rubbery pooh. I had some probiotic yogurt in the evening, plenty of juice and water.
9.18.07
I had cramps when i woke up, so i pooh'd immediately and got the same "results". Dark, rubbery, some flek's of yellow cloudy gunk. I then went to work and after an hour or so i pooh'd again, same stuff. Took the TAs @ 9, 12, 3, 6, and 9 and 3 DS caps @ 5 and 8.
9.19.07
This was the last day of the cleanse. I took the TAs 4x @ 8, 11, 2, 5 and 4 DSs @ 8pm. I pooh'd again in the morning, and it was diarrhea-ish with fleks of yellow slimy pooh, same thing in the evening. Kinda signal'd to me that i should stop here, and i was getting pretty sick of the apple juice/TA cocktail. I also had some brown rice, egg and vege's when i got home in the evening around 10pm.
9.20.07
First full day of normal eating. Started with a bike ride to work, and apple breakfast. Followed it with a crabcake for lunch, with some tomato and spinach soup. Dinner was sushi and in the evening i had a bit of milk chocolate as a treat. No bowel movements, and i feel fine otherwise.
Today I'll prob take some miralax (commericially available laxative, reccomended by my GI Specialist) and I'm gonna take Benefiber 1ce-2ce a day as a fiber supplement. If i have anything else to report I'll bring it up here. I'm going for a colonoscopy on the 5th just to make sure there's no serious illness or precancerous polyps, and I'll be sure to give y'all my opinion on that fun procedure as well.
