you could get diverticulosis, however a colon rinse won't do anything for that. IMO colon rinse = worthless. Try eating more fiber. Even a fiber supplement is better than nothing. I use benefiber and I can't even taste it when it's mixed up, however I'd mix with 12oz of water instead of the recommended 8oz.

Actually, the only thing your body WILL NOT completely dissolve is vegetable fibers, they will make most people bloated and may cause some some discomfort but they will NEVER rinse anything out (i imagine people expect them to act like some sort of brush to clean your intestines, be very glad that they don't, you'd need an operation everytime you ingested them if they did).

No meat, no matter what sort or how much will ever clog your intestines, it will either be completely dissolved or passed out by the natural means, it will never get stuck anywhere, not even 1/10 of a gram of it.

I'm no MD, but I'd be forced to agree. To the best of my knowledge, it's physically impossible for material to become "stuck" in any portion of your digestive system/tract for any significant period of time without causing some fairly severe (and noticeable) symptoms.

yea decomp would put out some pretty extreme poisons into your body.

your shit would stink at a level you wouldn't be able to ignore, and you'd die.

pretty easy experiement really, someone just cram a steak up your ass and let it rot for years.
just try it.
 
I've always wanted to know what these toxin I'm going to clense are?

Also. I recently had surgery that required a full bowel prep. I laugh at people who willingly do that to themselves.

John Wayne had 30 lbs of compacted undigestive junk in his intestines when he died... mostly because he ate steaks as his main source of food. So that little tidbit made me wonder what I got going on in my system.

Otherwise known as an enema.
Drink some Metamucil daily and you won't listen to ass idiots.
Colonics can disturb the flora and fauna of the gut.
Don't doo it.

Go to your local grocery store and pick up three 10 lb bags of potatoes-think about having that in your colon (not much room for anything else)...
