A member asked:
Please tell me the difference between colonics and colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very different: 'colonics' are ways of cleaning out your colon of stool. This can be in the form of prescription or over-the-counter medications. A colonoscopy is an endoscopic procedure designed to look inside the lower GI tract for any abnormalities.
