If you have suffered from stomach problems, you may feel that relief for constipation is impossible. With all the over-the-counter medications, detoxification diets and other questionable remedies to choose from, it can be overwhelming trying to figure out which one will actually work the best. Prescription medications for curing constipation may be disappointing, and may even have the opposite effect. Many pain medications irritate the stomach and can cause serious damage. Having a healthy digestive system is absolutely necessary for survival, as bad health begins in an unhealthy colon. Before you waste your efforts on ineffective and unnecessary treatments, please consider the following information about how a natural, safe method of colon cleansing and body detoxification is the most effective route to better health.
According to Breaking the Vicious Cycle Intestinal Health Through Diet by biochemist and biologist, Elaine Gottschall, people suffering with gastrointestinal problems are the second largest number of patients admitted to the hospital (maternity cases are the first). The fact these patients are not finding help for constipation or other more painful illnesses like Intestinal Bowel Disease and Crohn’s, is an indication the chemical formulas given are not always the answer.
Many medications for pain, like aspirin or NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are known to bring on abdominal cramping and can actually harm the intestinal lining causing damage to the stomach, stomach bleeding and ulcers. Other side effects include:
- Interference with the body’s blood clotting mechanisms affecting the stomach as well as other organs.
- Extreme constipation from cancer medications that some patients have stated the pain from cancer is preferable to the constipation!
- Decreases in the strength of the bowel and urinary tract muscles which prevents proper digestion and results in constipation.
- Harmful side effects of antibiotics that negatively affect the body with stomach upset and diarrhea.
The common factor in these treatments is really how they prevent our body from maintaining its ability to resist other illnesses. The body’s natural response to these foreign substances (medications) will be to fight them, which will distract the immune system, leaving other organs vulnerable to disease and infection.
Natural Alternatives to a Healthier Digestion System
Fasting and juice diets have their benefits, as they are all-natural methods of detoxifying your body. However, it is a good idea to check with your doctor before you try a water or juice detox because they can be dangerous for some of us. Those with stomach ulcer(s) should not eat anything with citric acid because the ulcer will get worse. At the very least they are inconvenient and uncomfortable. Most fasting detoxification diets recommend at least a weekend (of fun and famine) of drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day. Juice diets consist of water and drinks filled with raw vegetables and fruit. I must point out that raw fruit and vegetables are very healthy for us because the plentiful nutrients are able to go straight to our bloodstream. Though a fasting or juice detoxification will have positive effects for your body’s immune system, it has its downfalls.
My Personal Experience
First of all, I am not one to starve myself for a week with a “fast” when every minute I will be hungry and it will not feel fast at all. Fasting and juice detoxification methods are challenging and require dedication. The time and money spent on food that only stays fresh a few days and preparing all the juices is not always coherent to your regular schedule. It may be incredibly difficult to keep yourself disciplined enough not to cheat. Curing constipation through herbal extracts is by far the easiest and safest way to clean out our intestinal system. Even water retention or a bloated stomach can cause abdominal cramps, so I sympathize for my mother and anyone who has to go through intense pain from Irritable (Intestinal) Bowel Disease, Crohn’s, Leaky Gut Syndrome and many other gastrointestinal diseases.
My mother, who was diagnosed with Intestinal Bowel Disease, has been following her doctor’s recommendations for years, taking prescription after prescription as directed. Obviously, it wasn’t helping and was only getting worse. She has tried eliminating constipating foods but is unable to undergo a fruit or water detox because she is underweight, has low blood pressure and has been diagnosed with anemia in the past. She is also concerned the raw veggie and fruit juices will be too hard on her stomach since she has a difficult time just eating a regular salad. Her experience with severe abdominal cramping, gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation has finally made her realize she needs to try something new. For those who have long distance relationships with their families as I do, you know how difficult it can be to hear about their pain and suffering over the phone and not be able to do anything about it. This was affecting my mother’s social life to the point that she was becoming somewhat of a hermit. I finally convinced her to try a gentle all-natural colon detoxification treatment called Bowtrol. After all, she had already tried everything her doctor had recommended.
Why Bowtrol?
Due to its organic and herbal qualities, Bowtrol is perfectly safe and even supplies your body with probiotics, the good bacteria your intestines need. By eliminating the digestive system of waste, toxins and dangerous parasites through colon cleansing, Bowtrol will help with constipation and ease your struggle for improved health in all aspects. For many who try it, Bowtrol may take 24 to 48 hours to begin working. My mother was worried that it would interfere with her work, so she decided to wait until the weekend and try it on a Friday. To her surprise, after almost two weeks of no bowel movements, she received gentle relief the next morning and I am pleased to report that she is now happier and more energetic than ever. In all fairness, not all remedies work 100% of the time as evidenced by all the prescriptions my mother took.
But the fact of the matter is that colon cleansing for digestive health is the first step towards relieving constipation and abdominal cramping. Luckily, a colon detoxification program does not have to be complicated or self-sacrificing, like giving up food for a week or more! Maintaining your body with this detoxification process twice a year can have you feeling young and bustling with energy. Bowtrol is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is as easy as taking an oral prescription but without the negative side effects. Relief for constipation is more than possible, it is already a reality for thousands of dedicated users just like my mother and it can be for you too.
