What role does fiber and fiber supplements take in this? Also, what are your thoughts on cleansing pills/programs? There are a lot of things out there now but I am never sure who or what to trust. <strong>@ Carlos: Thanks for the comment. You will find if you have sufficient dietary fiber in your diet (loads of fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts etc) there is no need for fiber supplements as they can sometimes make things worse.....Just stick to whole foods and drink loads of fresh room temperature water (between meals, not with as it messes up digestion) and you will be fine. For cleansing the best method I have found is a Lemon in hot water for a few mornings, maybe even throw in a dash of sea salt..........Also try a course of good pro-biotics if you really want to clean out your gut!</strong> Great Blog, I just found it and I have liked it a lot.

Thanks for the info. I do agree that taking care of your digestion is a major factor in keeping the whole bod humming along smoothly. I've also recently read pro-biotics are good for the liver for some reason. Thanks also to Paul for the ad-on info. Another great post. Thanks for the info.

My GP developed a protocol which has proven successful with me and others. 1. 1 tbs. of flaxseed oil 2. Probiotics, preferably VSL #3, because it contains 450 billion bacteria per serving 3. 1 tsp. of l-glutamine 4. Plant sterols, preferably by Moducare, and 5. Several slugs of aloe vera. Everything is to be taken first thing in the morning, except for the aloe vera, which can be taken 3-4 times throughout the day. All told, this program is not cheap,but you only have to go to some of the IBS/Colitis threads/blogs to get a sense of how a lack of colon health can make your life miserable.
