Colonic Hydrotherapy - Anyone had it done?

[Armitage.Shanks]

The Mrs has seen this offer on wowcher where you can get it done for £35 (half price) and wants to give me this as my Christmas present.

Now I'm not sure what's led up to this as I'm a fairly regular kind of guy, once a day, with a 20 minute session parking my breakfast whilst reading a magazine. However my excuses for blaming the dog for the obnoxious fart smells is starting to wear thin. The dog has his own problems (now they are really bad silent but very deadly) and it would be better tried on him first if I had the option!

I'm familiar with the principles of the process but wonder whether I should take up the offer?

Won't change your smells, change your diet first, it's cheaper and doesn't involve pushing a hose up your bum

[Uncle John]

What a lovely Christmas present, some random poking a hose up your jacksey.

Your other half must really love you.

Should clear the Christmas sprouts I suppose.

Agreed on the diet.

The pros:
-Someone else, maybe female, gets to see your anus
-

The cons:
-You're wiping out the good bacteria as well as the bad. Anything that was going to come out would come out anyway. If you have any blockages, this procedure won't help.
-It's possible to lacerate your bowel resulting in problems that include death. A friend who works in A&E mentioned how someone was brought in with this problem and died.

So, on the hole, not a good idea.

The OP does remind me of a comedian I saw on TV who said his other half said "Buy me something crazy and expensive I don't need"..."So I bought her a course of radiation treatment".

That should read, "in the hole, not a good idea".

Yes, but that isn't a phrase people use outside of golfing circles and I am not sure I could do a double pun based on golf AND colonic irrigation.

there was a thread not that long ago in the lounge with a story of one chaps experience of a colonic.............it ended up with him redecorating the place, only to find out there was no shower

Just wish I could find it, as the whole thread had my crying with laughter

[Riley Blue]

Is no one going to comment on the OP's apt user name... what on earth has happened to PH...?

[HTP99]

What a st present!

[Armitage.Shanks]

Thanks. So somene has had it done. Although I have considered this route a 'one-way street' surely it must clear out all the crap?

[Taita]

I'm sure there was a poster on here who used their high pressure shower in this way? I think it was a woman who had a shared account with her partner.

I've had the super strength soapy laxative solution that the hospital gives patients before a colonoscopy. That certainly clears everything out of the colon. The really clean feeling only lasted a day, as soon as you started eating and drinking normally again things settled back down.

Why do you suspect that stuff is not being cleared out? Where do you think it's lodging? Have you been diagnosed with diverticulitis?

[ambuletz]

abit of a waste of money. better of spending that £35 on a bottle of whisky or something.

if you wana clear your bowls just eat heahlthy/high fiber for a few days. the detox thing is a myth too.

I managed to keep the laughter to mere sniggers until :

The clinic now looked like a grenade went off in a pigsty

cue people looking at me as if I am unwell, whilst barely able to breathe, yes tears are rolling down my face

[BoRED S2upid]

Maybe she’s trying to tell you something else. You have that shoved up there and if you enjoy it maybe things in the bedroom move in a different direction. Go for it. Nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.

Agree on all 4 statements.

Will be quite a nice whisky for £35.
