Colonic Before & After Care

Two Hours Prior To Your Colonic:

It is best not to eat anything and to drink lightly two hours before your colonic session. Having a bowel movement prior to your session is certainly not essential but if you do feel the need to do so, emptying the rectum with a bowel movement just prior to the colonic saves time and permits more to be accomplished.

After Care:

• Drink Plenty of Liquids:
  - Pure Water (drink half of your body weight in ounces of water each day).
  - Juices
  - Herbal Teas
  - Electrolyte Liquids
   

• Replace Intestinal Flora
  - Acidophilus
   

• Eat Soups for 24 Hours After Procedure
  - Vegetable soup is best.
  - Pureed (blended) soups are also recommended.
   

• Avoid Eating Raw Vegetables For 3 Days
  - Cooked veggies and raw fruits are sufficient.
  - Chew well
   

• Reduce heavy meat consumption for three days.
  - Consider eliminating meats altogether.

Dieting After Colon Hydrotherapy

To sustain the greatest long term benefits from colon hydrotherapy, each meal should include these five things to be a complete meal for proper digestion.  Proper digestion means proper assimilation of foods for conversion into energy.

1. Protein

2. Carbohydrates

3. Oils (Lipids)

4. Liquids - Juices, Purified Water

5. Vitamins/Minerals

Naturally, you will also want to avoid foods that you know have a history of creating bowel disturbances and poor digestion for your body.
