My situation was slightly different but I had to have a colonoscopy a couple years ago for a medical problem and I had to drink the SUPER LAXATIVE FROM HELL! After not eating for 1 1/2-2 days and then cleaning myself out I lost 10 pounds. After the procedure I actually felt better and it seemed like things flowed through my system a lot better. I have heard about people having colonics done to help regulate themselves but it's not something that should be done all the time because it washes out the GOOD bacteria. Celebrities have it done to help them lose weight which I think that is the WRONG reason to have it done. I would suggest contacting a place that does colonic irrigation and ask questions.
