I finally gave into my colonic irrigation fear and had a series of three colonics done over three weeks.
And even though I won’t be getting another colonic done again in a hurry (or even at all), I’m glad I did this experiment because colonic irrigation is often said to be one of the best ways to “clear acne”. And I didn’t feel comfortable recommending a treatment to High on Health readers when I hadn’t personally trialled it myself.
So did it work? Watch this video to find out-
Kevin Gianni from Health Renegade has done a great video on colonics which actually shows the same system that was used when I got mine done. It’s definitely worth a look – Are Colonics Good For You?
If you’ve had a colonics experience that you’d like to share (even though it’s a bit icky I know!!) or have any questions for me, let me know in the response box below.

Brissie practioner – did I miss the link?
Hah, that serves me right for not watching my videos back again! Here’s the link – http://www.backtobalancecolonics.com/
Hi Fran,
Thanks for sharing your experience of colon hydrotherapy.
I had my first of three sessions last Friday and will be spacing them a week apart. I too found it not painful or uncomfortable as the practioner was professional and placed me at ease.
Almost immediately after my colonic, I experienced an intense headached and tiredness. However, the next day I felt great (I felt more like ‘me’ if that makes sense). In the days that have followed I have noticed that I have a lot of energy and that I actually want to put that energy into use by going jogging or walking ! I am also craving healthy and nutritious foods.
I had a colonic four years ago and had positive results. I did not have a single pimple for 6months, I had increased energy, increased attention span, lost 4kgs, and more importantly – felt a higher state of health and well-being which translated to sheer happiness.
I shall keep you posted.

FYI – was gobsmacked by what literally came out of me (and I’m not even a meat eater!)
Thanks for sharing your experience – you’re right that most people are not comfortable talking about their bowels.
Like you, I’m a bit ‘fragile’, and though I’ve had mostly good experiences with colon hydrotherapy, it can be a bit overwhelming (physically & emotionally). I think it’s a great way to detox & cleanse, but some of us require a bit gentler handling, and can’t necessarily rely upon them as our sole method of cleansing. It’s not the only way to detox the colon, luckily. I find other, less dramatic approaches can be just as effective, they just require patience.
I agree with you that other, sturdier body types are likely to have notably different experiences.
Hey Fran! Thanks for the article! Do you mind me asking what came out of your colonic? And did it get rid of your Candida overgrowth? You’re a healthy eater, so were you surprised at what came out of your colon?
Hi Renee, good question. She said there was a bit of yeast that came out but not loads. The main things were, I’m not digesting my food properly and I’m dehydrated. The first time I went in she also said that I was constipated – even though I’ve never had constipation in my life! Apparently the dehydration can clog things up a bit internally like constipation even though you feel as though you’re having regular bowel movements. It’s a bit confusing.
Hi Fran,
I’ve had two done (and am also very skinny), but decided to stop because i would experience a lot of depression afterward. my dr. also did not rub my belly, or tell me anything about what was coming out of me. i didn’t notice it helping my acne either.
I am so glad you documented this. I had an enema last week at the hospital as I needed to have a camera inserted to check the health of my colon. Luckly everything was fine. What I did notice though is that my skin brokeout the following day. Do you think was related to the enema? I thought it was due to a tea tree oil and zinc oxide ointment that had caused my skin to dry out become blocked leading to pimples. Now I am wondering whether it could have been the test upsetting some points in the colon? x
