Re: Colon spasm?

Hi Sally,

That area sounds like the location of your ileocecal valve.. sometimes it can get stuck open or closed. Here is a link to a good site that talks about it and how to correct it if its not working properly.

I have not heard of it acting up as a symptom of detoxing,but it could be. Hope this is helpful. Kathleen

Colon spasm?

This could be completely unrelated, but the past three or four days, I've had a twitching in my colon just to the left and slightly below my navel. It's like an eye twitch... not painful, but strong. I do light pressing (like acupressure) and deep breathing and it subsides. Just so odd! Anyone else have anything like this? Wondering if it could be a side effect or detox?I have no colon problems, no constipation or anything. Curious.Thank you!Sally

Thanks, Kathleen. I read it but that valve is on the right side and my twitch is

on the left. So not that. I'm not worried, it's just odd and wanted to see if it

was maybe detox-related.

As Kathleen suggested : it could be the involvement of the Ileo-caecal valve. Unfortunately, this disorder is often overlooked by the medical profession. A dysfunctional ileocecal valve can result in a combination of symptoms.Ileocecal Valve Syndrome Symptoms * Right shoulder pain * Right side pelvic pain * Low back pain * Pain surrounding heart * Flu symptoms * Tinnitus * Nause < Just so odd! Anyone else have anything like this? Wondering if it could be a side effect or detox?I have no colon problems, no constipation or anything. Curious.> Interestingly, one reading given for a child with mild autistic

features recommended a digestive supplement similar to secretin

(1937). A pilot study of 16 children with minimal brain dysfunction

(including autism) based on Cayce's concepts of intestinal etiology,

showed promising results (Pecci, 1977). The Meridian Institute has

investigated Cayce's therapeutic recommendations for migraine in a

small pilot study (n=5). Participants who followed Cayce's suggestions

showed notable improvement (Meridian Institute, 1997). Neurological

diseases with systemic features (particularly with significant

gastrointestinal symptoms) may be approached from a complementary

medicine model that recognizes the role of the abdominal nervous system

with regard to etiology and treatment.
