Zelnorm, as I am sure you know, is a medication used to treat IBS with Chronic Constipation. The effects that Zelnorm creates is a release of bowel retraction and “rehydrates” the colon. What tends to occur when using Zelnorm is that people with chronic constipation will begin suffering from chronic diarhea. It all surrounds the fluid level in the bowel. With Zelnorm it pulls from other organs to loosen stool, with medications such as Lotronex (another one pulled by the FDA which was used to treat chronic diarhea), the opposite would occur, by pulling the fluid from the colon in order to slow perstalis. These medications may help in masking many of the symptoms in bowel disorders, but they will never fix the problem.. This is the main reason these meds keep getting pulled from the shelf. They have terrible side effects, people have died from either bowel obstructions or severe dehydration, this is the case of both of the above mentioned meds. My advice to you would be to proceed with any medications pertaining to the bowel with caution. The large intestine (aka bowel, colon) is where all of your nutrients gets absorbed, if this isn’t working correctly you will lose nutrients with side effects such as dry skin, hair, darkening under eyes, bone loss, dark urine or lack of proper urination, imbalance of hormones, anxiety, the list goes on and on. This is not intended to scare anyone, just inform. Bowel health is so incredibly important. I do suggest a series of colonics to everyone! You would be surprised to see what comes out of you!

I think I am reading your question correctly. I have been doing colon hydrotherapy for over 7 yrs. It was the only thing that helped me to get over sever GI disorders that i had been suffering from for many, many years. In turn these problems also caused me to suffer from depression and anxiety as well as endometriosis, horible back pain and constant bladder infections. Learning that all of these probelms were directly related to impaction of the colon as well as a parasites literally saved my life. At age 23 I had all of these symptoms and was completely miserable. Through research and trial and error I fixed what the Dr.’s kept throwing pills at.

There are very, very few contraindications with colon hydrotherapy due to the fact that only warm filtered water is used and administered via gravity. The equipment we use is called LIBBE, it is an extremely comfortable unit. the tube the enters the rectum is the size of a pencil. Everything coming out goes right down a view tube and into the sewer. for more information click on our colon hydrotherapy link,check out the descriptions and photos!
