Are colon cleansers are safe?!
Question: Im 16 years old and have been chronically constipated for almost a year. I think its mainly my diet. My parents always go out eating at restaurants and I dont go, and they usually get me FAST FOOD. Or they will cook tv dinners. Ive tried excersising but I get discussed about my weight and sometiems i fine it doesnt work. I know im probably not getting enough fiber. I have to take milk of magnesia to relieve it. Sometimes ill poo but itll come out hard or medium sized plops. Or ill start feeling heavy or fatique or cant think straight. After I take milk of magnesia to get the guck out I feel better.
I was thinking about trying a colon cleanser, maybe it will clean my colon? I started walking last wednesday. 30 minutes to an hour everyday. I also took some fiber tablets, "benefiber"
Should I try a diet with more fruits and veggys? Or should I try a colon cleanser and start fresh with fruits? Like clean my system and start new?

i would try changing your diet first,with what you say you eat no wonder you are costipated,get plenty of fruit and veg,cut out the junk food and drink plenty of water,use a fibre drink,dont use laxatives only very rarely if you take them regular you get as though you cant cant go without them
as for the cleanser doctors dont recommend them but people have them done if you do have it done you shouldnt have more than 2 a year you can get picalax from the chemist which they use for barium emema that clears you right out but not for frequent use
all the best
