I've recently been reading about colon cleanses and I am curious as to whether this would be beneficial or detrimental to my health, especially since I know that my body is more sensitive and fragile than those who don't battle with the CFS symptoms.
I have been reading about DrNatura's Colinix and Toxinout programs ( http://www.drnatura.com/ ) and I am curious to find out if anyone on here has tried a colon cleanse of any brand. I am obviously leery of any that are quick and not gentle on the body since I have battled gastritis and IBS. I am thinking a gentle one to three month cleanse might be beneficial...

You might try a probiotic... like Kefir...you can get grains and make it at home, or you can buy it in a lot healthfood stores... lifeway, whole foods,..... you can make it from milk if you get the grains and its cheaper... but Kefir contains a few strains of bacteria that supposedly colonize your gut... something yogurt probiotics don't do. There is a website with a man who suffered from celiac's disease... and ulcerative colitis but feels that kefir saved him. He runs a pretty large yahoo group on kefir and there are lot of people with gut issues that swear by it.
This might be way too much info... but nausea and ... stool issues... were very prominent for me in the begining. i start my day with kefir i make from grains and it has a lot of benefits.
people that drink a lot of kefir get stronger immune systems and have lower instances of colon cancer and stuff. you should definitely check his website out... i've actually communicated with him online and he had been VERY helpful

don't know if helps... but just thought i would share.....
