Sounds like I might have to give this a try!!

mmmmm mini poppadoms lol

I'm going to keep an eye out for this on google, have thought about it for a while but reading this thread makes it sound all good and not yucky at all.

Linzi - you should always use your scales on a hard floor (bathroom, kitchen?) not carpet, it can't weigh you properly on a carpet because it sinks into the carpet so can't give an accurate reading. Oh and always have the scales in the same place and weigh yourself at the same time of day.

I have wanted to try this for years and an offer finally came up on group on. I went Saturday for my first session which cost me £29, it was in Angel Spa, Droitwich Spa. The lady who does the procedure was lovely, asked me why I was doing it asked some questions about my health and how regular I am then explained everything about the procedure and what she was going to do. I then had to strip off my bottom half and put a gown on, she left me for a few minutes telling me how to position myself on the bed for when she returned. I had the choice of inserting the tube myself or her doing it, I asked her to do it, I'd probably do it wrong. She then started by emptying a cylinder of water via the tube into my colon, she said once I feel the urge to push I should. I must admit it felt really weird especially emptying my bowels whilst lying on a table with a woman stood talking to me. She was brilliant though, telling me that I was doing well and explaining what was coming through the tube and what to look out for. She left me on my own for most of it, popping in every couple of minutes to see if I wanted anything.

Once I'd finished she talked to me about diet and what vitamins I should be taking as she felt I was vitamin b deficient, she recommended probiotics and I bought some powdered probiotics from her and booked myself in for 2 weeks time.

I have not lost a dramatic amount of weight or changed into a new bouncy energetic character over night but my skin and eyes are clearer, I feel happier and I don't have any bloating. There is nothing on this planet that can transform someone over night but I'm going to try 3 sessions close together then another in 6 months and then before the wedding. One thing that has amazed me is that I have not felt the need to eat anything sweet or fatty, in fact I've only eaten my 3 meals a day and felt no need to snack. If this keeps up I may lose a few lbs.

As part of the consultation they'll ask about medication and won't let you have the treatment if not suitable.

Wow this sounds too good to be true! I always thought it was a load if rubbish this colonic irrigation and maybe even harmful to the bowel lining. I could do with a clear out and more energy and a bit of weight loss!

Just booked my first one for the 11th March, will bookmark this thread then let you know how it goes! Found a clinic near us who is doing 3 sessions for £165 which wasnt' bad, in some others they're 85 each!

I think if I hadn't previously been subjected to a colonoscopy (which is definitely uncomfortable) I might consider it at some point as I get bloating all the time and have IBS. But my last experience of tubes up my bum was not nice. Being filled with air is very uncomfortable to say the least. And it probably doesn't help with everything else.
Is there any prep for it or do you just go and let them get on with it? Do you have to take anything beforehand I mean to make you go.

ok im goin to ring about this tomorrow but one question i have is if they flush it out with water!! but how the hell does it come out? not threw u mouth surley????

wow thats an amazing results, i am now investigating this further and hopefully get myself on a course. : ) x

i have also thought about doing it, and my h2b has as well - think im gonna go for it as i get very bloated and i think i may be intolerant to white bread so it would be good to get some feedback too :-)

I've really really wanted colonic for ages but my mum says at 20 years old i shouldnt need it?

I lost 2 stone over 5 months but have put nearly a stone back on and cant seem to shift it, reckon this could be just what I need to help along the process!

Fab Shirleygirly, I was supposed to have my first one yesterday but they had problems with the heating so with the engineer call out etc it was moved for another fortnight - gutted as was rather looking forward to it!

I'm still plucking up the courage to go ;) x

Ok, had my second this week about 4 weeks after the first, and it was a lot more productive as Shirleygirly said above - in the first 10 minutes they reckoned I'd passed what I had in the first session! Not noticed any significant weight loss but definitely less bloating around the stomach, and finding I'm eating less processed foods as you become more aware of what you're eating I guess. Got my next one booked 5 days before the wedding :-)

EEEEEEK after reading everyones comments on here i made an appointment at a local clinic and todays the day!!!!!! Im slightly nervous but also slightly excited to find out the results. Will keep you posted xx

would you all recommend this. reading the comments is making me want to go and get booked in.
has anyone done the pill one? xx

I can highly recommend colonis therapy. I had terrible stomach problems with IBS and some medication side effect and a series colonic not only improved my comfort but it kick started my bodies own healing process so that i recovered from the other conditions as well. I also lost 2 and a half stone. I would recommend going to see a professional colonic therapist though. Some one registered with the association of Registered Colon Hydrotherapists.

Recently I've been feeling quite bloaty with bad skin so this thread has prompted me to make a booking.

I cant find a clinic near me. do you have to go into cities? xx

I'd like to know too.
Might try it after I've had my 6 laser lipolysis sessions.

I noticed a slight difference after one session but I needed more. I had four over 2 months, then 2 months later I had another. The last one was 30th June and I'm going to book in again for October. The day of my first I weighed myself and I was 10 stone, I currently weight 8 1/2 stone. Don't get me wrong the weight loss is not entirely down to colonics but since doing it I drink more water, I watch what I eat, I've cut out bread, red meat, cakes and pasta. If I have treats they are from the weight watchers range. I love snack a jacks with light philadelphia, choc Philly on fruit ryvita, I eat more fruit. I've switched from semi skimmed to skimmed milk (amazingly semi skimmed tastes horrible now) I only use milk on my cereal as I don't drink my 10 cups of coffee anymore I have green tea (blueberry flavour with a bit of honey is lovely). Along with the dietary changes I am exercising more because I have more energy and don't struggle with early mornings which helps me sleep better at night. I don't feel hungry and I don't feel I'm missing out when everyone is stuffing their faces with cakes and chocs. I've had a few naughty days but I don't get upset about it as long as it stays only a few amnd this usually happens around my period.

I can't for sure say that colonics is the way forward for everyone but if you feel like your digestive system is sluggish and needs a boost it could well be the answer. I decided to do it because I really struggled to lose weight even though I'm really active, I could sometimes go a couple of days without going for a number 2 and would often have really bad constipation followed by bouts of diarrhoea. Since the sessions I've been regular as clockwork. The lady who does mine said she thinks there was a build up and it's been cleared up but to rebook if I feel it's getting sluggish again and although I don't feel that it's slowing down, I have had some irregularities following a course of antibiotics so just need a clear out. I've also been taking probiotics everyday which is keeping my good bacteria levels up.

I would highly recommend you give it a go but if it doesn't work after the first session don't give up on it, I've not known anyone who only requires the one. If you think how long red meat stays in your colon and how much you've eaten over the years there is bound to be a back log. I used to love steak but haven't had one since and I don't miss it at all.

Hope this helps.

I didn't even think about this but after reading this I really want to try it, ie just kind a clinic near me
Will be phonin them ASAP cant wait to feel the benefits x

She didn't tell me how many to book but she did tell me that I will notice a change in what goes through the pipe, she also said that the feeling afterwards is quite addictive because you do feel really cleansed so she said she would tell me when she thinks I've had enough. Luckily after my fourth I could see it was a huge improvement on the amount of waste coming through and she agreed, she just told me to come back when I need to and she said I will know when I need it. It sounds to me like it's exactly what you need to boost what ww is already doing for you. My parents have been on ww since January and they've got me into the branded food and snacks, every time I go to their house my mum is getting me to try the new treats. Good luck with it, I hope it gives you the same benefits as me.xx

I'm really tempted, but scared lol x x

I going to give this a go after reading about all the benefits on this thread. Have been thinking about having one for the past year! So expensive though - will put the word out on FB and Twitter asking if anyone knows of a cheap one in my area!

At the minute I'm on Jason Vale's 3 day juice detox and then I'm going to try his 7lbs in 7 days diet then I'll give the colonic a go and see how much weight I lose (My BMI says I'm obese so I need this!)
