Re: colon pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Violet,

I've been dealing with a very similar issue over the past couple of months.

My ND thinks that I have a slight stricture in my colon. I also had the

groin pain, and she said that was my psoaz muscle causing the pain. She

told me to google some pictures of the muscle so I could see where it is.

Then she wanted me to do some stretches. You can google for some exercises

to do. She also wants me doing castor oil packs for an hour a day.

She also prescribed to me Dr. Bernard Jensen's 7-day cleanse program.

(Described in his book - *Better Bowel Care*) I did the program for 6

days. On day 4, I noticed the place on my transverse colon that was very

tight was all soft. When I reintroduced food into my diet, the pain came

back, but only slightly. I had no pain while doing the cleanse. Overall, I

am about 70-80% better since doing the cleanse.

I *should* have done Bee's 9-day program for reintroducing food into my

diet. Dr. Jensen's reintroduction program is not good.

The drawback of doing the cleanse is that it is totally off of Bee's diet.

And if you are super-sensitive or reactive at all when you go off of Bee's

diet, then you probably couldn't do it. You basically live off of juices

(fruit & veggie) & supplements. I added 8T of daily coconut oil to Dr.

Jensen's regimen, plus I often had bone broth instead of the juice. I

haven't been doing Bee's diet 100%, nor long enough to cause any flare ups

for me when I do go " off-diet. "

But it appears to have worked to remove most of the blockage - enough that

most of my " mystery pain " is gone. I don't recommend Dr. Jensen's diet

advice - stick with Bee on that!

Anyway, it's something to consider.

Cheers!

that they do not think it is that because when I massage the area,

the pain leaves and I belch and have a bm at times. They said it

sounds like an obstruction.

==>Violet, if the pain is not constant it is most likely it is not

cancer as well, but it would be best to quell your fears by getting

tests done just so you know. I suggest you do enemas, starting with

the coffee one and then do the alternating antifungal and probiotic

enemas. Ensure you are consuming enough fats as well, which heal,

soothe and strengthen the intestines, as well as reconstructing all

cell membranes the way they are supposed to be (50% saturated fats).

I have dealt with colon pain for over a year now, and been to several

doctors. When I began the anticandida diet, it got worse at first.

Now, over a year and a half later, it is almost gone. No one has

been able to tell me what causes it, but I have done research on my

own with the internet.

I think that the yeast overgrowth not only damages the intestine

walls but also the nerves around the rectum. There are 2 muscles, I

discovered, the internal and external sphincter muscles, that are

covered in nerves. The nerves were probably damaged by the toxins

created by the yeast. In my case, I believe that as the nerves began

to heal, they started feeling again. Nerves hurt when they wake up,

like when your foot goes to sleep. And when the nerves on my

internal sphincter muscles started waking up from the healing

process, they caused the muscle to go into spasm - which hurts

really, really bad! The internal sphincter muscle is involuntary,

which means you can't control it, so when its in spasm, relaxing

doesn't work. But pressing on the rectum or sitting on a small hard

object, like a medicine bottle, relieves the pressure somehow.

But, the amazing good news is that after patiently continuing on the

diet, the healing has continued and the spasm has gone away. Now, I

only have rectal pain if I stand too long too soon after a bowel

movement and it keeps getting better all the time!

This is just what I have figured out on my own. I wonder if anyone

else has heard anything like this. It would encourage me to know!
