Gastroenterologists say colon cleansing isn't needed

[loco]

Some Web sites, spas and other groups say colon cleansing can help clean the intestinal tract and remove toxins from the body. However, gastroenterologists say that the practice is not needed because healthy colons are self-cleaning and that other methods of cleansing could cause serious harm.

"We do see a lot of constipation in Western civilization," says Dr. Landzberg. "We don't drink enough fluids. We are too sedentary, we have weakened abdominal muscles, and we don't take enough fiber in our diets. But the answer to that is not artificial colon cleansing. A well-balanced diet with a good portion of soluble fiber—with lower fat and a calcium supplement—makes a happy colon."
