A member asked:
I've just completed a 14 day colon cleanse and have had constipation since completion.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing left?: Two potential reasons: (1) Your colon is mostly empty and thus will take a couple of days of fiber intake to get the bulk. (2) The colon has calmed down too much after a long period of overstimulation. If the problem persists beyond 5 days or you start to experience a lot of discomfort , best to see your doctor.
