Has anyone tried a colon cleanse product with the band?

I started a 7 day colon cleanse tablet 4 days ago and yesterday I couldn't keep any food or liquid down. I feel like I have a rock in my stomach. This is still going on today. I have a call in to the doctor but haven't heard back yet. Anyone have this problem before???:)

I'm glad you called your doc; because if you hadn't done it I'd say ASK your doc. I know the medical community is divided on his issue but most feel the flora and fauna in our gut is there for a reason. Just like you become more susceptible to yeast infections after taking certain antibiotics (because they kill off your good germs that keeps the yeast from flourishing) in the same way many think colon cleanses do more harm than good. lots of that icky stuff you see coming out is our traumatized intestinal lining, not bad things you need to get rid of.

Sorry didn't mean to soap box...but if you are feeling issues check with your surgeon or primary. Don't just get a cleanse from a health food store or drugstore and take it.

I hope your doc calls you back soon and can give you a quick easy fix! Even with my soap box I'm really sorry it didn't work for you like you thought it would.
