I have been considering using a colon cleanse, but I am on the fence. I've read they're great and I've also read that they are a bunch of dookie (no pun intended). What are your thoughts?

Dear PooperChic,

First of all, I definately do not recommend the use of ANY type of colon-cleansing product while on a fence. Not only would that be dangerous, it could create quite a mess on both sides.

As far as my experience with them personally--I have none. My IBS tends to keep my colon free of any build-up, so I just don't feel the need.

If I were going to try one, I would pick a product that uses fiber and other natural ingredients, as opposed to those with harsh chemicals.

Thanks for asking Motherload!
