    URGENT! Has anyone had a colonic?

    DH and I are supposed to be trying this today, recommended by our naturopath - only I've just gotten my period and am bleeding very heavily. Would they normally do it anyway, or should I just reschedule?

    Don't worry, Google is my friend For those interested, it's actually a good time to have one, as the body is already cleansing....dude I am so nervous about this....

    it might just be a little more uncomfortable for you is all. We still do colonoscopies when patients have AF

    It wasn't the pain I was thinking about, it was more the extra mess....Oh well, will find out shortly!

    No, I feel really stupid - I thought the appointments were 9:30, but they were at 9 so we missed it They've given us $30 off our next appointments, but we haven't done it yet. I'd psyched myself up and everything...

    I've had heaps of them and so had dh I haven't had any for the past couple of years but will go again next year before I get pregnant again. dh has a few every year also. They make you feel so wonderful and I'd say that it's probably one of the best things you can do for your body apart from not smoke or drink in excess and have a clean diet

    Oh nooo!!! Bugger, was wanting to hear what you thought.

    I agree, it does make you feel amazing after it. My skin cleared up the week after it too! AMAZING!
