What are the side effects of colon cleansing?
Colon cleansing, also called “detox” or cleansing diets, are programs that claim to detoxify the digestive tract, improve energy and wellness and enhance weight loss. According to Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist, Michael Picco, M.D., the body is designed to “cleanse” itself on its own and cleansing programs may provide few, if any, benefits. Such programs also pose risks for serious side effects. Doctor’s guidance is suggested for people interested in colon cleansing.
