A member asked:

I would love to clear out my colon just once, to see how i feel. i hear a lot just accumulates & sits. what's best way? laxative? softener? no enemas.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Things don't sit: Stuff doesn't sit around in the colon. If constipated, one needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then the things to try are vegetables, water, prune juice, prunes, fiber+water, Miralax, (polyethylene glycol) Senokot or other senna, milk of magnesia, other laxatives... A doctor can evaluate and prescribe helpful meds too.
