Reply to "Cleanse to treat pouchitis?"

Forgot to anwser the cleanse question...

I come from a family where my mom tried any and everything that was the fashion of the week...We did every diet on the planet (healthy or not) and did a lot of fasts.

There was the Maple syrup, lemon juice, cayanne pepper fast...30 days on nothing else then a progressive return to solids starting with chicken breast. Supposedly we reset our digestive clocks, our thyroid systems and got rid of every infection and alergy. Not sure but I do know that we dropped a lot of weight. There was the hot lemon juice cleanse (think draino), the green veggie juice  cleanse (so-so), the strange smelling chinese herb tea cleanse...

We did a week of high colonics + fasting cleanse (called appropriately the double-whamy cleanse...they get you coming and going)

We did them all. None of them cured me, my chronic gastro (probably because it wasn't gastro but IBD)  but it did help with my acne. Made it worse.

Beware of fashion diets and cleanses . They can really hurt us. We can get dehydrated, throw our electrolytes off, get dizzy and for some of us who have already had problems with blockages it can make them worse.

If you ever decide to do it then make sure that you take in enough of everything essential for life, hydration and balance.

I know how frustrated you are but just be careful.
