I'll come by to explain it more later, but definitely check out the "Colonoscopy: is worth the risk?" section.

Please note that this site is all about selling you something.

A colonoscopy will only cause disruption to normal bowel function in the short term. Colonoscopies are used to diagnose conditions such as bowel cancer, and as such, saying not to have one because "they can cause constipation" is just plain wrong. And scary.

Tom873, I do not believe that the colon cleanse would help. What exactly is your bowel problem? If you are constipated, drinking enough water and eating enough fat will usually help, if not, adding some magnesium definitely will.
