Hi docs, would drinking a lot of cranberry juice clean up your colon?

Dr. Heidi Fowler, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine Answered Oct. 25, 2015

"Clean Up" Would not expect it to clean colon although excess cranberry juice can cause loose stools/ diarrhea. Recent studies show that cranberry ingestion can increase Bifidobacteria in GI tract & help to maintain other healthy bacteria.

No. Cranberry juice has no effect on the colon.
