My Colonic

Posted 01.16.2007 by Pucker Up (26)
About a month ago my husband and I found ourselves in a quiet sitting area at The Tummy Temple in Seattle, giggling in nervousness, awaiting a colonic.

Some weeks prior, you see, my husband and I had friends visiting from Portland who were about to embark on a raw food diet for the purposes of cleansing their systems. They explained that the American diet is so disgusting that most adults have about twenty pounds of undigested food in their colons, filling the pockets and lining the sides, preventing nutrients from being absorbed, and festering and pumping toxins into the blood stream. The purpose of the raw food diet, they said, was to "pass the rope" -- that is, dislodge and disgorge the massive snake of undigested, impacted, rubbery waste matter from the colon. They would do this by 1) eating only raw foods; 2) drinking bentonite clay and psyllium husk; 3) undertaking weekly colonics.

My husband and I looked at each other, looked at each other's bloated bellies, and then looked down at our own bloated belies while images of a plaque-y, black, rubberized rope snaking around the toilet bowl flashed into our minds. And thus began our own experimentation with "cleansing."

The Tummy Temple was recommended by a co-worker who had been suffering from a case of constipation so severe that even doctor-prescribed laxatives hadn't worked. If I hadn't been assured by my coworker that it was indeed a legitimate business, the quacky website and converted-apartment appearance would have sent me running.

Whether a colonic is itself a legitimate endeavor is a different story.

I was called in to one of the rooms. The pretty young lady who greeted me told me to get undressed, put on a backless gown, and lie belly-up on the table in the middle of the room with my feet elevated. Next to the table was something that looked like a fish tank with a horizontal glass tube about three inches in diameter running through it. There were a couple of knobs and dials and something that looked like a speedometer. A tall tube to the left looked like a feed chute on a food processor. A couple of articulated hoses emerged from the fish tank.

The young lady explained to me that she would insert a tube into my rectum, as much as thirty inches worth, and that she would pump body-temperature water into my colon. I would take as much water as I could handle, and then the water would come back out naturally, and we would be able to watch the poop and whatever else float by in the horizontal glass tube. We would do this four or five times, she explained with a smile.

Through the thin walls, I could hear my husband talking; by the loudness of his voice, I knew that he was a little bit agitated.

She picked up something that looked like white PVC piping, surprisingly long and thick, with a narrowed end. She smothered it with coconut oil and then told me to turn to my side away from her and breathe naturally. There were two rings of muscle that she would need to penetrate, she said, so I should relax as much as possible.

As I turned away from her and presented her with my naked backside, she said, "Oh, it looks like you have been on vacation."

It took me a moment to realize that she was referring to my white butt and tan lines. Through the wall I heard my husband say, "Whoa, that's pretty fucking big," and I knew that he had just been presented with his own PVC piping.

As gentle as the young lady was, it was still exceedingly uncomfortable; and she seemed to be shoving that thing up my rectum for about ten minutes. Finally she told me to return to lying on my back, and to keep my feet up. She said that she would start filling up the water, and I should let her know when I have had enough.

"How will I know when I have had enough?"

"You'll know." Through the wall, I heard my husband: "Um, I just want you to know that I think I am about to shit the bed," and I knew that he was just a little ahead of me -- and that indeed one knows when one has had enough.

She rubbed a bunch of coconut oil on my belly and massaged in a big circle -- up the right side, across under my ribs to the left, down the left side and across to the right, low across my gut. She started the water; and for the first few seconds, it didn't feel like much. Very quickly, however, it began to feel like a terrible case of diarrhea. My intestines cramped and ached and felt full beyond capacity. I waved my hands desperately at her and she stopped the water.

Together we watched the horizontal tube as it filled with dirty, shitty water, and clumps of poop floated by. She traced her finger along the tube and turned to me. "It looks like you ate a bean burrito yesterday. You should chew more slowly." Indeed, across the fish tank danced some beans and corn, looking essentially the same as they had in my lunch.

We began again, with water filling my insides until I couldn't stand it; and then we emptied the contents. Apparently I wasn't tolerating much water volume, because each time I turned to her and said through clenched teeth "Enough!", she raised her eyebrows and said, "Already?" Several times the water wouldn't empty, and she had to squeeze the tube to force a gas bubble to get out of the way. "Oh, you're so funny with your gas!" she giggled. I just stared at her.

On the third emptying, three little nodes with long tails danced across the tube. I waved my hands in the air in panic. "What was that???"

She turned to me and said calmly, "Looked like parasites."

Towards the end, there wasn't much to see -- just some gobs of mucus. On the fifth and final round, she poured chloroform into the feed chute of the fish tank and explained that the chloroform would help replenish the natural flora in my intestines. She emptied me a final time and removed the PVC tubing, and I sighed in relief. I hustled to the toilet in the corner of the room, expecting to shit brains, because my stomach was still cramped up. But, alas, nothing.

I dressed and waited for my husband to return to the reception area. My stomach looked flat, and my (facial) cheeks were flushed. I felt warm. I felt calm. I felt a general sense of well-being.

Finally my husband appeared in the doorway. He looked awful. He was pale and his eyes were red. He was practically shivering. "I want to go home," my big, manly husband whimpered at me.

We went home and went straight to bed. My husband couldn't get warm, despite multiple layers of clothing. In the middle of the night, my stomach started to complain. Loud, twisting grumbling and cramping woke me up and kept me awake for hours. In the morning we both looked wild in the eyes, pale and drawn, doubled over in pain.

My husband finally had a huge shit, and then composed himself and went to work. I, on the other hand, spent the entire day going from the bed to the bathroom, without relief.

By the next night, I was feeling much better. For several weeks afterwards, both of us had momentous, healthy, loosely-packed poops. Normally we would be happy to recreate whatever caused such joyfully pleasant poops. But not this time. Nothing can convince us to go back for another colonic.

Good God. Was this place licensed by the Board of Health? You're lucky you didn't get a perforated bowel or something.

Also, did you weigh yourself before and after? What, if any, were the long-term effects?

You can seriously mess up your electrolytes by infusing hypotonic solutions of God knows what up your ass. I HIGHLY question the necessity of colonics at all. Talk to your doctor before pursuing such a course of action. Dumpster is right - you can rupture the bowel by overfilling it. Can cause megacolon. Ask Motherload.

You guys are lucky you escaped with your asses. I would have gone to a clinic where they give you a powerful laxative. I don't
know the name of it but it is used to clean out the system before a colonoscopy. What you and your husband went through sounds like a scat movie.

There are alternatives to colonics. I am currently doing the Master Cleanse (aka lemonaid fast) and it really cleans you out and is completely natural and safe - not to mention in involves absolutley no PVC pipe!

For a minimum of 10 days you start your day with a Sea Salt Water Flush. 2tsps to 1 quart of warm water. Chug it and in a hour you will be peeing out of your butt. Throughout the day drink a lemonaid mixture (water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayanne pepper) and a shit load of water. In the evening drink an herbal lax tea. You really don't get hungry, you loose about 20lbs and you feel realy healthy by the end. It does the same thing as a colonic but it is a much more thorough and healthier way to go about it. Google it.

Parasites! Hol-ee Shite.

However, this reminds me of the last minutes of "Man on the Moon" where Jim Carey, as Andy Kaufman, goes to another country to see one of those faith healers who supposedly pulls Cancer out through your skin (if anyone's as old as me, you might remember 60 Minutes doing a piece on this in the seventies...). When Andy looks down, he sees the yogi healer sneaking a "piece of Cancer" through his hand to make it look as if he pulled it from Andy's body, the old "fake the Cancer tumor slight of hand" trick. Yeah, that's the one.

While I may be a crotchedy skeptic as this point in my life, and sadly so - it's so hard for the bunnies to enjoy their hugs - is it possible that these fake things were pumped INTO you so you could see them coming out?

Just curious. And, no, I really do believe the parasites could have been in your intestinal system; what I'm not sure about is a colonic dislodging them. We need Motherload on the spot, here.

Excellent report! I enjoyed your husband's man-pain. Give him my apologies.

I've always wanted to try colonics-- but maybe in one of those fancier places. Only problem is, it's REALLY expensive in San Francisco to do colonics. I think it would be fascinating to find some turkey bone you ate when you were three floating in a tube outta your butt. The after effect sounds bad, though. I'm rather shocked that you had diarrhea the whole next day- you'd think you wouldn't have anything left to poop out. Wow. Thanks for sharing that, I've always wanted to know what it's like!

Recto Magnifico (70) -- 01.16.2007

A couple comments here:

One: Oregon might be the home of some of the kookiest raw foodists in the country. I got to know a few of them and one, a young woman I got to know verrrrrrry well, I was able to corrupt by enticing her to try the garlic fries at a restaurant here in town. She probably confessed her sins at their next brickfest, but she sure wasn't complaining as she downed about a pound of the finest garlic fries any person ever ingested.

Two: These high colonic nutjobs will have you believe your digestive tract is just jammed full of undigested stuff nestled in the nooks and crannies - things like roughage, plastic, utensils, insects, what have you. Maybe it is, for some fringe types who eat their food while still in the packaging.
However, I had a job long ago as a "diener", the person who removes the viscera for a pathologist to examine in an autopsy. In that job, one of my tasks was to slit the intestines along their length and remove their contents. I disemboweled probably 200 people, and not once did I ever see a foreign object that wasn't clearly food related, and I never saw anything other than partially or completely digested matter adhering to the crenualated walls of the bowel.

Most of this colonic flush stuff is nonsense, in my opinion. The exception might be when one is embarking on a new diet and wants to be sure that all traces of the old, less beneficial foodstuffs are gone from the system. Why that might matter, I'll never know.

Motherload (1057) -- 01.16.2007

Upon reading Daphne's request for my input on the legitimacy of a colonic being an effective way to remove parasites, I immediately jumped into action.

I thought it would be best to start at the beginning and first learn as much as I could about parasites themselves. The following paragraph is an excerpt from the particular study that I was reading.

"At time of excretion, the immature oocyst contains usually one sporoblast (more rarely two). In further maturation after excretion, the sporoblast divides in two, so the oocyst now contains two sporoblasts. The sporoblasts secrete a cyst wall, thus becoming sporocysts; and the sporocysts divide twice to produce four sporozoites each. Infection occurs by ingestion of sporocysts-containing oocysts: the sporocysts excyst in the small intestine and release their sporozoites, which invade the epithelial cells and initiate schizogony. Upon rupture of the schizonts, the merozoites are released, invade new epithelial cells, and continue the cycle of asexual multiplication. Trophozoites develop into schizonts which contain multiple merozoites. After a minimum of one week, the sexual stage begins with the development of male and female gametocytes. Fertilization results in the development of oocysts that are excreted in the stool. Isospora belli infects both humans and animals."

After having mental images of cartoonish sperm-like creatures "dancing" through a tube directly attached to someone's ass and Bunga's wonderful little ditty now stuck in my head, I am afraid that my attempt at finding some answers has left me completely baffled and temporarily insane. I am afraid that I can not be of much assistance regarding this particular subject at this time.

I'm still shivering and cringing after reading this one! Yikes! I thought about colonics briefly when trying to figure out how to go about losing a few pounds. I'm glad I didn't proceed any further! That sounds like a real shady deal and not too sanitary. Do they santize that PVC pipe in between "clients"? Where are they getting their water from? What is "warming" the water to body temperature? Are they prepared to deal with "complications" like perforated bowels or ruptured fissures? I'd feel more comfortable taking a spill while waterskiing and getting a river enema than I would with someone cheerfully ramming PVC pipe up my ass and describing the contents of my colon! *shivers uncontrollably*

daphne (3511) -- 01.17.2007

Thank you Motherload. I was immediately whisked back to sophmore biology, where blasts, cytes, and cists fight for my immortal soul.

Seriously, your post made sense to me. Seeing as I've had a medical illustration, biology, anatomy, and latin background before weed drove it all underground, the quoted paragraph basically told us these things are simple, multiply quickly, and bore into the intestinal lining. No mention as to their being "flagellated" came up (flagellae were most often microscopic), so we don't know if they would have had tails or not. However, this being said, the fact that the author referred to a tailed parasite makes me wonder.....would a tailed parasite most likely be microscopic?

Dammit, where's our biologist!?????!!!!!

I'm just a flunky medical illustration major!!!!!!

Daphne, I think you're right about the flagellae being microscopic. That part of the story did not make sense to me either. How big was this "thing" that wooshed thru the tube? If it was big enough to see from a few feet away there is NO WAY it came from her colon. I would not be surprised if this is one of those "planted" props used by the "colonic administrators" to illustrate what bad things are being flushed from the body using their *miracle* system! I wonder if they send folks home with a bottle of snake oil too.

What I don't get is this; if the people that are into colonics preach about the use of natural products, and doing everything naturally... why do they stick PVC pipes up their butts and flush their colons with water that has additives? Where in nature does any other creature do that?

I must have missed the part in my zoology class where the mother elephant sucked up a trunk full of muddy water and shoved it up the baby elephant's butt.

GottaGoGirl (2615) -- 01.18.2007

Are you sure about that, Poopie? I seem to recall a Wonderful World Of Disney, Buena Vista film about the elusive and wonderful troops of Enematic Monkeys of Zimbabwe.

Rare footage of these primates revealed the amazing practice of the monkeys using hollow sticks to administer enemas to one another using spring water, monkey piss, and tree sap.

It's one of my favorites.

Turdle (4) -- 01.26.2007

Very timely article. Thanks pucker!

A very good friend of mine who has been selling me on the idea of a good colon job for a while just recently gave my some herbal cleanser to take. Its a combo of capsules and tea which is supposed to rhythmically spaz out my colon to the extent that it shakes all the diamonds and coal from my lumpy meat accordion and restore my energy & vitality. He claims once I've defiled myself a couple of times this way I'll be ready for an ass douche.

I just have a couple problems with the whole idea.

1. Do I want to be alone in a room with anyone who would actually want to do this to another person? Paid or not... NO!

2. After all I've heard here and from others about the pain, cramps, and parade of nasty things that the colon gives up nothing short of spewing lawn furniture out my butt would leave me satisfied that it would be worth it!

My ass says PASS!

Ken Smilten (not verified) -- 02.04.2007

Wow! Clearly this is story and the tounge and cheek comments that have followed are for the humor and drama of the pooping world.

Here are some facts.
#1. If you go to the Tummy Temple website you will see the equipment they use is FDA approved.
#2. If you do your homework you will also find out that the "PVC" tube is a molded rectal speculum that is also FDA approved and monitored. There has not been one case of "perforated bowel or something" as one person mentioned above using these speculums.
#3. If you do a little more homework you will find that the water used is triple filtered down to the bacterial level and that is what is used for the cleansing treatment. It is completely safe. As far as the Tummy Temple is concerned they use a high grade electrolyte for implanting at the end of the colonic and an organic chlorophyll. The electrolyte implant ensures that any loss of electrolytes is more than replaced. The chlorophyll only soothes the colon and it has nothing to do with bacterial repopulation.
#4. The equipment used by the Tummy Temple ensures that the pressure within the colon never exceeds 2 lbs. per square inch. This is less pressure than what the colon uses to move material along. The way this is ensured is that the equipment they use from Prime Pacific Health (www.thecolonet.com) has a safety overflow mechanism in the equipment.

I have tried the Master cleanse and I agree with Squirty McHershey it is a great cleanse.

I have also done over 12 other cleanses including the Ejuva and Arise and Shine. I highly recommend the Ejuva for an intensive cleanse that can be easily varied according to your skill level with cleansing.

As for the modified apartment comment you obviously were out for more drama. I have had colonics in clinics, doctors offices and spas in over 3 countries and 5 states here in the US. You obviously are new to colon hydrotherapy or you would have recognized that the Tummy Temple is a high class joint. They have invested heavily in creating a very nice and clean environment. It is by far the nicest place I have ever received colonics. You obviously have some other agenda or are misplacing your issues by directing your anger at the Tummy Temple.

I speak from experience and as someone that has done my homework. I know about their equipment because I contacted the manufacturer before going to the Tummy Temple. I know about the process because I have had it done now for 25 years and I can attest to the value. Having had severe constipation (one poop per week in my mid twenties) this therapy has been instrumental in getting me to the point where I know poop 1-2 times daily.

And "The Dumpster", is your brain in your poopshoot? What you wrote about "The disclaimer on the website says, "None of the product statements referenced in product presentations [herein] have been evaluated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration." No offense, but this sounds pretty dangerous to me." - No offense from me, but you clearly have never read any labels on any off the shelf health care product have you? For that matter, why don't you read some of the cereal boxes from Kellog's? To play it safe I would encourage you to grow a garden and not leave your house. The world is not a safe place.

In closing, Pucker Up, why don't you redirect your anal retentive issues towards businesses that aren't making a honorable and concerted effort at helping people that need the help. Your drama may be funny but the damage you do says more about you than the folks you write about. Good job. Sleep well knowing that you are making the world a better place.

Ken, let me congratulate you on a very fine rebuttal. I laughed uproariously on several points you made, possibly you could illuminate us on their significance.

  1. I have had colonics in clinics, doctors offices and spas in over 3 countries and 5 states here in the US.
  2. This sounds like a bit of an odd hobby, what is the best place for a tourist to get a hose up their ass? And do they accept American Express Travelers checks?

  3. You obviously are new to colon hydrotherapy or you would have recognized that the Tummy Temple is a high class joint.
  4. High class joint...TUMMY TEMPLE....maybe it's just me but the name certainly doesn't ring up there with other names signifying class, but I guess it's better than Billy Bob's Bung Blasting Boutique.

  5. It is by far the nicest place I have ever received colonics.
  6. I'll take your word for this, probably better than those dark ages years ago when things were done in a back alley with a regular garden hose. Possibly you could tell us a few stories on the less pleasant places you've been fortunate enough to have someone stuff PVC tubing up your ass, I'm sure we'd all enjoy reading it.

AHAHAHAHA Bunga Din, you kill me! haw haw... Anyhoo, I think getting colonics all round the world is a venerable hobby, one that he should start a new guidebook for, kinda like the "Michelin Guide". Maybe start a rating system, like 1-4 smiling rectums or something?
What should he call it? ...Maybe "The Connoisseur's Colonic Guide" or something in that vein.
And yes, I'd love to hear more stories about not so pleasant places to get a colonic, too!

Thomas A. Crapper (8) -- 02.13.2007

Awhile back I was in the hospital for some complications after having my appendix taken out a week earlier. I was feeling sick and throwing up and such but the doctors decided to focus on the fact that I hadn't pooped all day and they thought I was constipated. Apparently they decided I should have an enema. I didn't want a bunch of men in white lab coats going anywhere near my poo chute so I let them know that and decided that it was because I hadn't eaten anything since lunch the day before and they were morons. Well it turns out I was right because as soon as they gave me a cup of water I literally shat myself right on the gurney in the hall. I just kept shitting too. It was like a stank mud slide and the doctors were more embarrassed than I was. How can you take a dump when you haven't put in anything to make come out? I would have gladly had a "bowel movement" (why can't they just say poop) but they didn't give me a chance. Luckily by taking matters into my own hands I was able to keep my ass hole exit only as it should be.

my best friend had her 1st colonics treatment 0n the 2/16/07 . she has been in hospital for the past 5 days and is now being prepared to have her bowel operated on. the damage caused at this stage is un none? she had to sign documents giving the doctors permission."depending how severe the injury is due to colonics" to possibly remove her bowel and wear a bag for 6 months! her family and friends are in prayer . anyone reading this. i dont understand how any one unlicenced can stick a tube up your ass . the positive claims of colonics are false and i am letting everyone know if you choose to have this unsafe treatment you are at EXTREEM RISK!

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 05.09.2007

Penn and Tellers Bull$hit did a huge show on colonics and cleansing in general, and the only people who recommended them, where the ones who did them.

Every single doctor who came on the show both said they where dangerous, and completely refuted the idea that parasites or anything else living was coming out of peoples asses.

Infact as Americans, we have a less than 1% chance of ever contracting a intestinal worm or parasite. And even in third world nations where it is more common due to poor food and water treatment, the likelihood is very low.

HI ive been to a few colonic clinics, the one had a slightly tapered tube more than a inch in diameter attatched to a plastic tube,you could really feel it going in. They pumped the water in a lot of pressure too, i had ate a whole loaf or wheat bread a few days before. when i went to the bathroom after the colonic there was a huge log that came out of me.

Colon Powell (2) -- 07.10.2007

I've had plenty of colonics. No one ever shoved a tube way up my insides, just a speculum that went in not much farther than those do-it-yourself enemas. It is almost never uncomfortable and generally makes me feel better afterward. Competent technicians will not joke with you about the process
