A member asked:

Could colon hydrotherapy help in removing bad bacteria from the colon along with gas and bloating?

Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Not recommended: If you eat and drink properly, there is no need to do any colonics, cleansers or hydrotherapy. Your bowel will function the way it was designed to do, assuming you have no other GI illnesses or diagnoses.
