What is the best way to cleanse your colon? any drink suggestions?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The best answer here is that the colon cleans itself and does not need any additional medicines or chemicals to aid it. However, if you feel that it is necessary, the best way to help the function of the colon is with a high fiber diet, and perhaps a fiber supplement such as a high fiber cereal or Metamucil on a daily basis, along with plentiful liquids. Good luck.

For constipation - You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
