What to Eat After Probiotics
Everyone’s experience is different depending on your unique health situation. Most people feel normal, a little lighter and clearer right after your session, but many people can feel tired, especially after their first couple of sessions; however, most people can go back to life as usual such as working out or going to work.
We do recommend focusing on self-care the day of your colonic. Most people have flatter stomachs after the appointment, but some individuals do experience tenderness or bloating in the tummy.
Please know, having a colonic is not like taking a laxative. You should not feel uncontrollable urges to go to the bathroom once your appointment is finished. You may have to use the bathroom from time to time, but you should have full control when having a bowel movement.
- Keep a light, clean diet for at least 48 hours after your appointment.
- Steam your veggies (raw veggies can be hard to digest and make you gassy.) Eat lots of fresh fruit and fresh juices.
- Healthy soups, stews and healthy whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, barley, porridge.
- Lean protein such as nuts, seeds, fish, organic chicken or turkey breast are best.
- Probiotic rich foods such as sauerkraut, kefir, kimchi are great to eat.
- Eat smaller portions, eat slowly, and chew thoroughly as digestion begins in the mouth.
- Please remember, absorption and assimilation of nutrients are enhanced after your colonic, so whatever you take into your body matters!
After cleansing the colon, it is the perfect time to focus on cultivating healthy probiotic populations in your digestive system. Have quality probiotics on hand after your colonic to take daily (at the least 3 days after, but preferably every day.) Potential Side Effects Everyone experiences colon-hydrotherapy differently. Here is a list of potential side effects that can arise if your body and mind connection or well-being is in a poor state:
- Feeling tired after your session
- Feeling bloated and gassy
- A delay in your next bowel movement of up to several days. This depends on the speed or ‘transit time’ or your digestive process, and the diet you maintain.
- More frequent bowel movements and urination
- Unexpected or latent emotions may surface after your session.
