Some people don't understand what constipation actually means. If you're constipated, then you're having a hard time pooping. If a poop didn’t come out due to stress, bad food, medications, etc then it will form into a “fecal impaction” and become calcified like a rock! Once a fecal impaction is created, new food that is trying to digest will get stuck on that impaction, making it larger, thus creating more impactions, because the muscle action in your colon is off & now the microbiome is starting to get messed up, causing all new symptoms through the vagus nerve all the way to the brain! We can be impacted for months to years and not realize it until it's gotten so bad that the symptoms are making us think we must have cancer or we're going to die of some rare disease. Seeing a doctor is good, but when the doctor can't come up with the diagnosis, trying different medications to no avail, yet you continue to have the symptoms, it is a good idea to try colon therapy and see if that will work for you. Once you're impacted you think a little enema will do the trick, but even an enema won’t work! The enema won’t work because you may be too impacted through most of your whole colon, (many clients get rid of 10–50 pounds of fecal matter during their colon therapy treatments) your peristalsis has slowed down to the point you can't even push anything out anymore. The fecal impactions are in the way, blocking anything from going through except watery stools that can leak around those impactions. Not only that, you are now not absorbing all your vital nutrients. If you are trying to have a bowel movement & it feels like it's getting stuck, it probably is! After a period of time fecal matter gets stuck in the haustra of the colon and every time food passes by that dry fecal matter (fecal impaction), it keeps accumulating more and more until you're so impacted that your peristalsis just can't do its job anymore. When most of your colon is finally full of fecal impactions, that's when you start to feel constipated. The colon is tricky like that, it just doesn't give you warning signs! Please, don’t allow yourself to get this impacted like I did 22 years ago. By the way, I did not get the colon resection surgery, but instead did the colon therapy & that’s why I went back to school and became a colon therapist 22 years ago!
