Hi, I am not a fan of laxatives and believe that if you reach the point of discomfort with constipation, or if you are in to your 3rd day without a BM, an old fashioned cleansing enema is the most natural and effective way of providing relief.
Before embarking on any colon cleansing or bowel retraining routine I always suggest consideration of a colon hydrotherapy program (colonics) to completely cleanse the large intestine from rectum to cecum.
