I was recently told that I was full of crap! I pondered this question for a moment or two, then headed straight to you, the insightful ones.
So how is one to know if they are truly in need of a cleansing, or as what a colonic preveyor may refer to as detoxification.
Now, if my schooling taught me anything, it was that the colon, also called the large intestine follows the small intestine and comprises the end of the gastrointestinal tract. Now, we learned that most nutrients from food are absorbed in the small intestine. This would entail the colon to absorb water and salts from the stool while it pushes it along through the rectum. Correct?
Wouldn't laxatives work just the same? They promote bowel movements, have been around for atleast 3892 Years!
Colon cleansing refers to a more invasive procedure of water and hoses stuck you-know-where. It's not clear when this practice started.
It's not poo in the toilet that ponders my couriosity, it's the poo in me!

Your current state of turdity demands an immediate response. Perhaps you need to perform a colonic irrigation to relieve yourself of the unwanted waste. Although quite similar to an enema, colonic irrigation often includes minerals and and additives to better cleanse the colon. Hey, are you done with that cup of Starbuck's finest? Good, pour it in...what about the latest Wall Street Journal? Add that, too (finely ground up of course). Once you've added the ingredients of choice (or convenience), then you just need to insert the tube into your rectum and release the valve on your metal bucket (un-crimp the tube).
Soon, the refreshingly cool fluid will start to permeate your colon and fill you with joy. Once you feel as though you can't take it anymore and are ready to blow out your insides...remove the tube from your rectum (do this over the toilet) and release your precious, fibrous, coffee flavored poo.
I hope this helps, and in the future, you might find it more advantageous to list this in the "health" section of Yahoo Answers instead of the "ethnic cuisine" section (although you can probably establish a cause and effect relationship here).

Try the all natural treatment to this problem.
Eat 2-3 pieces of fresh fruit every day, and drink at least one full quart of water throughout the day as well. Cut back on diuretics like cola, coffee, and tea, too. The stuff they sell online and on TV is a bunch of expensive crud, IMHO, and you don't need it. After all, mankind evolved eating fruits and vegetables - don't you think that after 200,000 years of eating them, our digestive systems would know what to do with them?
There's truth to that "An apple a day" saying, and this is part of it.

i don't think you can successfully give yourself a complete colon cleansing with a home enema. you can go to one of those places that do cleansings and be quite surprised at what you see coming out of you. you can also do a cleansing program that last for several days. it involves juices, water, apples and flax seed. i don't know the combinations. and of course there are several kits for sale that provide all of the above except the water. you can lose up to 20lbs with a good cleansing. best of luck and whatever you decide to do i hope you enjoy the end result. it is supposed to make you feel really good.

lol
You're one of the few people who recognize that "colon cleansing" is a glorified name for enema, and you have good sense of humor.
Thank you for making me laugh
