Bowel cleansing?

Question

I am 15 years old, and need to know about a natural bowel cleansing idea.

I have a bad stomach/intestines. I have gastritis, inflammation of my colon, erosion, and 'white scarring,'and pain, and no prescribed medicine has treated any of these symptoms. I used to have to get an endo- and colonoscopy monthly to check up on my backed up bowels and etc. Since then, I haven't been able to use any laxative to help clean me out.

There is a gross tasting lemon-like formula available at a pharmacy or store, I think it's liquid magnesium, the doctor made me drink two bottles of it before the procedure, and it made stool liquid until it was gone...but I think I had to take a pill with it, and I don't know where to get the liquid, and if I have to be a certain age. Now I obv. can't get the pill because I don't see the doc. anymore.

Is there any liquid or pill that I can take available to 15 year olds to help cleanse my bowels in the span of 1 to 2 days w/ fasting? (Not a continual med.)

The reason I want to know is because although there is no discomfort, I have "constipation," I only go to the bathroom a couple times a week. And I like the feeling of being clean, my intestines feel nice, haha. But also, my Mom thinks what I want to do is gross...so I need alternative help or recommendations!

I have a gastroenterolgoist, but she isn't very experienced. And, she no longer wants to see me because she thinks it's rheumatology/immunology related. I can't get another one, there is none close. I don't have a good doctor, so I can't get far there....I wish I was older so I could drive where I needed to and fend for myself! Once I'm 16 or 17 I will deff. look for new doctors. Thankyou for your concern and answers. Unfortunately, I guess I probably won't be able to cleanse my bowels on my own :/

Answer 1

Ella, are you being straight with us? If you have white scaring, intestinal erosions and pain with frequent bouts of constipation, you belong under a doctor's care. Furthermore, you have had frequent endoscopies. My bias is that you have your parents take you to a pediatric gastroenterologist.

We cannot give you good recommendations with the limited info you gave us, no matter how good our intentions are. (And as you have seen by a previous answer, some intentions are not good!)

Answer 2

indexed here are some organic procedures. you could try one or combination them up and use many: Milk with acidophillus (or purchase liquid and upload it on your milk) Cranberry juice warm water with lemon juice 3x an afternoon Prunes or bran cakes weight-help plan tea ( those clean out your colon and bowels of course with herbs) Licorice root (not the candy you will would desire to consume too lots) Drink 8-10 glasses of water in line with day (upload fiber packet to a minimum of one) good espresso 2x an afternoon Bran Buds Cereal (will possibly not like it in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it extremely works) do not use laxatives. Your physique turns into dependant upon those after which you won't be able to circulate without them. And the would reason wallet interior the the intestines and an infection if used to often. they are harsh and not straight forward on your equipment. The additionally flush out you foodstuff earlier your physique can get the foodstuff from the foodstuff. for this reason Anerexics are so skinny and undernourished. They use laxatives oftentimes. try organic procedures purely.

It sounds like you might have Crohn's disease or ulcertive colitis. That requires treatment by a gastroenterologist, frequently with some heavy-duty drugs. Some people choose to have parts of their colon removed for that condition.

If you use a bowel prep as a laxative, you are likely to mess up your electrolyte balance (the sodium, potassium and such that is in your blood) and that can cause real problems (heart problems, seizures, etc.) Don't do it unless under a doctor's care.

Have your parents get you to a doctor who can help you.
