Colon Cleanser Side Effects: What Should We Know Before Using?

Colon cleanser products are widely used nowadays to help us build a healthier body by boosting the motility of intestines and helping the colon do its regular job. Bowel movement is necessary for maintaining good and healthy body, and all these products lead the body towards this direction. It’s not only about toxins; it’s also about less water retention, less cellulites, more youthful skin and appearance.

However all these products can have a negative side if we don’t pay much attention: The most common colon cleanser side effect is body’s dehydration, caused by the loss of more than necessary fluids. In fact in every regular bowel movement we tend to lose 5-6% of our bodies’ fluids, both needed and not. Especially when we take many pills or use enema products often we order our bodies to reject bigger amounts of water and minerals, gradually causing dehydration which could prove severe. If taken in big quantities and for long periods of time they could cause serious loss of electrolyte balance leading to nausea, loss of stability, vertigos and loss of consciousness and fainting. Women usually suffer a lot from these colon cleanser side effects because they tend to use these products to lose weight and they are most likely to overdo it, provoking bigger problems to themselves.

Regular usage of cleansing products is not recommended anyway, since it can make the intestines and bowel system lose their natural ability to clean themselves: colon gets used to a particular kind of stimulation so it actually becomes addicted to that and consequently naturally lazy. This is one of the very common sources of gastrointestinal problems and conditions. Other colon cleanser side effects are migraines and exhaustion, fever and flu (since we might exuviate the good bacteria as well with the harmful ones) and in long term many other conditions of the nerves, such as irritation and nervousness, even insomnia and depression. Of course these side effects are caused mostly by a long lasting consumption of those products, which tends to be improvident and as with everything that exceeds the normality, it can become extremely harmful and dangerous.

It is difficult to say what is the recommended duration of using colon cleansing products, since that has to do with the particular needs and conditions of each individual, however it always recommended not to use them for more than a couple of weeks each time, and definitely abort when some symptoms of side effects start making an appearance. Especially after 5-7 days of not feeling well after using cleansing products it is mandatory to seek for professional help. Our bodies have the natural ability to notify us on an excessive use and abuse so it is most likely that your body will tell you when the cleansing process has been concluded and you need to stop: you will feel healthier, stronger and more energized.

If it is not absolutely necessary to use cleansing products then it is better to try to adjust your body functions using more natural ways, such as healthy eating with lots of fibers and grains, as well as exercising. However if it necessary to start taking pills or using enemas, consult a doctor and an dietician so as to find out which are the best products and in any case stick with the more natural and herbal products that don’t contain harsh laxatives so as to avoid all possible colon cleanser side effects.
