A member asked:
Can you please tell me, should a colon cleanse cure constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may clear : The current episode but if you don't diagnose or treat the reason for the constipation, you may be missing the diagnosis of a potentially serious problem. See a GI doctor or a colon and rectal surgeon for proper management and eat healthy and drink plenty of fluids without caffeine or alcohol.
