After experiencing severe abdominal pains. the xrays confirmed faecal loading. i eat healthy and exercise. i'm concerned that i always have to do a colon cleanse. am i not washing all the good bacteria and is there another alternative?

Repeated episodes of colon cleansing can cause rebound lack of motility. Make sure you are eating many fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking lots of water (2-3 liters daily) and take a probiotic capsule to maintain your good bacteria. Stop the Colon cleanses and allow your body to naturally move the stool out.

diet, 80-100 oz caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily; more if you do strenuous activity. Do NOT waste your money on colon cleansers as they are not needed and potentially harmful in the short and long term.
