Do you know we are actually suppsed to poop three times a day?! News to me.

A big part of the body’s regulation is eliminaing waste. I’ve been reading about colonics in relation to disease for a long time now and I have always been curious.  A lot of people on the quest to heal disease incorporate colonics into their routine because they stimulate the immue system and get rid of all that icky waste that a been hanging around too long.

Not gonna lie, I have been scared to try in the past. Not just for the obvious reasons (awkward!) but also because I thought it could trigger one of my ischemic colitis attacks a.k.a the worst pain I have ever experienced. But, since I’ve got my trusty Viagra now I’m fearless on the intestinal front. I packed one up in my pill box and went to get a colonic last week.  Bring. It. On.

Yes, it’s invasive (to say the least). It’s also intense and uncomfortable but the aftermath is bliss. I left feeling amazing. Not only did I feel lighter in my belly ( I swear I shed five pounds of waste back there) but I had this amazing clarity in my brain.  Like some brain fog had been lifted!  I walked home so happy and high.

It was such a cathartic experience.  My stomach has never felt so amazing (and those who follow this blog know that my stomach has major issues). No bloating , none of my usual pains. I felt…. Normal. Fine. Nothing to complain about for the first time in a long long time.  I have been eating great! 

My first meal afterward was equally as satisfying. My body ate it up.

Why did I tell this story?  Because it proved to me just how much our gut determines our health and state of mind. It truly reinforces my belief that I can find the way to curing my body through healthy diet and mind state.  I must be vigilant about both of these things considering the hand I have been dealt and if I am, I know I will get better.
