Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 daryl what type of facility did you go to for the colonics? I guess if it is a good detoxer then I should be going also - of course I also have a horrible candida problem so it probably won't be too pleasant, either. I guess now that I have made the decision to try to stay out of work for a while to heal then I need to hit the detoxing pretty hard - I have been doing it little by little as I have been working full time and have a son your age so you know how hard it is to be in the potty all day! I haven't done any really hard core detoxing as I was scared i would get sick and have to call in - my job is not very understanding about things like that. Hopefully your next trip will be better on Monday good luck love shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Daryl, I have no clue what colonics are other than big enemas?? Is that right? Anyway, I have had a terrible time with constipation. For months all I have had is - sorry to be gross here - but it is gross...little balls of hard stool - 3 or 4 of them 2 or 3 times a day. The only reason they come out is because it is so full in there they basically fall out! I am so sorry to be so disgusting! I look like I'm 6 months pregnant and I'm sure this is what is contributing to making me feel so terrible. So I've tried doing warm water enemas and fleets enemas. Each time the water went in and hardly any of it came out. I got nauseated and felt like throwing up. The next morning after doing the fleet enemas I was swollen everywhere - even my eyelids. I think that things were just so dry and stuck in there that the fluid absorbed and just stayed in there. Anyway, I've tried Citrucel fiber and it makes me feel worse and didn't make me go. I've tried just about everything until just a few days ago. I bought a box of raisin bran and a box of Fiber-One cereal ( reminded me that this is the highest fiber cereal on the market). So I eat 2 cups of each a day and I've actually cleared out most of the hard stuff and it's starting to move easier. I know you're probably doing the no sugar diet, but I can't do that - at least not yet. I don't know if this is helpful to you or not, but I just wanted to let you know we're in the same boat and I know how you feel.

I wondered if anyone else here has been through this. Everyone told me that they don't hurt, and you'll feel great afterward, even my husb. went to this place last week to get one to check it out for me. I was a little nervous, but I was really hoping for some pain relief. I'll try not to be graphic because it's embarrassing to talk about. When the water started going in, nothing was happening-I started getting very hot and dizzy-then the stomach cramps started, really painful-I rang the call button and when she came in, I told her what was happening-she said that all the water was inside but there was nothing coming out (I'm sorry, I know this is gross) I started sweating and pushing as hard as I could-luckily, the owner used to have a very bad candida problem, and said that her first 3 colonics were very difficult. She kept telling me to just let it happen, but it didn't! I threw up all over my gown and started crying, I said that I just wanted it out-she was holding my hand and told me to stick with it cause it seemed like I had alot of toxins. This went on for at least 15 min.and then I saw these rock-like things go into the machine. She said that she could tell I had been eating raw veggies all week and they don't digest in my stomach so I should stop. Because of my detoxing. I was eating big salads every day, I figured raw is the best way to get all the vitamins. Things seem to get more and more complicated every day... So, I stayed there on the mat for about 20 more min. because I felt too shaky to drive. I looked like such a mess, I had mascara running all down my face and I was embarrassed to see the owner again! She acted like it was an every day thing. She did say that it will get better every time, and it would really help me. I made an appt. for Mon. but I'm terrified that it is going to feel like that again. Has anyone ever experienced something like that? I felt like I was going to explode! Should I go back? She knows a good herbalist who helped her with Candida, so I will call him. One more thing, has anyone heard of a powder drink product called Ambrotose? It's made by Mannatech, and I've had 3 different people tell me that it changed their lives. Thanks for being my friends and understanding all this weird stuff that I'm going through, you're the best!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Daryl: it sounds to me that you really need the colonics if you are that stopped up!!!! I have had a few and not had any problem but everyone is different. Stick with it and do a few more. I'm sure you'll do better. >From: "Daryl " <daryljean@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: Re: I'm pooped out today!! >Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 17:02:03 -0800 > >Re: To ...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 - Daryl Sorry about your experience with the colonic. NOthing to be embarassed about. I bet they have pretty much seen it all. Please let us know how the one on monday goes. I am having such a detox reaction to coffee enemas, that I am afraid to try a colonic. As far as the ambrotose, I will tell you only that I have a friend who is a nutritional consultant and she used to sell mannatech. She said that it originally helped her daughter and husband, but they eventually changed the formulation. This made her daughter very sick. Apparently arabagalactin or something like that is in it and this causes candida to grow. She sent me some studies and I looked at them. This chemical is actually used in the laboratory to speed up the growth of candida on cultures. Apparently she knows others who got sick eventually too. I think she is an honest person, and frankly, I would be very cautious about it. Apparently you can feel better first, but as months go by, the candida problems start to manifest more. It is very expensive and I think Patty tried it for awhile and wasn't impressed. Thats all I know. Hugs, kathy -- In , " Daryl " <daryljean@c...> wrote: > Re: To ...
