A member asked:
Had hydrotherapy colonic 6 days ago. worried ihave perforated my bowel. sick 3 days after w/diarrhea & vomiting. ok now. could it be a perforation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: A perforation can cause sepsis/peritonitis and can be fatal if left untreated. I'm glad you're feeling better but we recommend against colonics as they have not been shown to have any significant benefits and do have risks.
