Is hydrotherapy/colonic safe for someone with crohn's of the ileum?

Wouldn't do it: no need; doesn't detoxify, only makes you poop (not thesame thing). can damage lining of bowel, screw around with fluid/mineral balance; alter bacterial flora, not in a good way, can complicate clinical picture in people with inflammatory bowel disease; rare, but potential complication like infection or perforation

NOT SAFE: Colonics are not recommended, especially if the colon is inflamed or compromised. See Mayo Clinic link for general info. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/consumer-health/expert-answers/colon-cleansing/faq-20058435
