Brief Answer:
I don't advise Colon cleansing hydrotherapy

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I do not advise Colon cleaning hydrotherapyfor the following reasons:
1.The quality of the preparation cannot be assessed.It may cause severe electrolyte imbalance leading to serious complications.
2.The bowel will become dependant on Enemas.
3.As per Medical literature,there is no clear benefit from these cleaning therapy.
I would like to have some more information
1.What is your exact indication for this therapy?
2.Is there any pain in the upper Abdomen?
3.Is there any bloating even after intake of small feed?
4.Are you passing hard stool?Do you pass stool daily?
5.Do you have Vomiting?
If there is Acidity, Bloating sensation I prescribe Tablet containing Rabeprazole along with Levosulpiride to my patients.As Levosulpiride is a prokinetic agent,it will help in constipation too.
Avoid spicy food, carbonated drinks.
Have high fiber diet.Eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
Drink plenty of liquids.
Nothing to worry.
If you come back with answers to my questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
