Before/After Colon Hydrotherapy

You Don’t have to Overthink it.

First of all… relax. One of the biggest misconceptions about colon hydrotherapy is that you’ll be stuck on the toilet all day afterward or that you need to prepare perfectly beforehand.

That’s usually not the case at all. Most clients leave their session feeling lighter, more relaxed, and able to go right back to their normal day.

You Don’t Have To Prepare Perfectly

Preparing for your colon hydrotherapy session does not have to feel stressful. The goal is to come in comfortable, hydrated, and relaxed.

Avoid A Large Meal 2 Hours Before Your Session

You do not need to fast all day. We just don’t want you coming in with a super full stomach from a giant heavy meal.

Your body will generally feel more comfortable during the session if digestion isn’t heavily competing for energy and space.

You can absolutely have:

What To Wear

Wear comfortable clothing and come relaxed. You do not need to bring anything special unless instructed otherwise.

Hydration Matters

Try to drink water before your appointment. Hydration supports softer stool, easier elimination, better flow, and more comfortable sessions.

Support Your Body

Many people ask what they do before they prepare and the truth is - what you should have been doing all along - eating a diverse diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables and staying well hydrated.

You Can Usually Go Right Back To Your Day

Most clients are able to continue their day normally after a colon hydrotherapy session.

• Go back to work
• Run errands
• Go home normally
• Continue their day as usual

You will not typically be “stuck on the toilet all day.” This is one of the biggest myths about colon hydrotherapy.

What Should You Eat Afterward?

Honestly? Aftercare is basically what you should have been doing this entire time anyway.

The Poop Doctor recommends eating according to the “Cleanse or Clog?” philosophy by choosing hydrating, mineral-rich, fiber-rich, and easy-to-digest meals.

Great post-session foods include:

1. Soups
2. Smoothies
3. Fruit
4. Cooked vegetables
5. Broths
6. Hydrating meals

Support The Reset, Don’t Clog Things Back Up

Your body just had a chance to hydrate, release, and reset a bit. Try to support that process with better choices afterward.

Is It Normal To Not Poop Right Away After?

Yes. Everybody’s bowel patterns are different. A colon hydrotherapy session does not force your body into one exact reaction.

Some people notice different reactions after a session.

All of these can be normal.

Consistency Helps With Chronic Constipation Patterns

One session can be incredibly helpful, but deeper chronic constipation patterns usually require consistency, hydration, dietary changes, nervous system support, mineral support, and repeat cleansing sessions.

2-Week CleanStart® Cleanse

Many clients like combining colon hydrotherapy with herbs, dietary changes, increased hydration, infrared sauna, movement, and cleansing support.

One of the most popular options is the 2-Week CleanStart® Cleanse. This is commonly used by clients wanting additional support while working on:

• Constipation
• Sluggish digestion
• Bloating
• Lifestyle resets
• Cleaner eating habits

Do You Need Probiotics After Colon Hydrotherapy?

Not necessarily. The Poop Doctor’s philosophy is that every time you eat, bacteria naturally grow again.

Your microbiome is constantly changing and adapting based on food, environment, stress, hydration, and lifestyle.

For most people eating normally, probiotics are not always necessary after colon hydrotherapy.

The Poop Doctor’s Favorite Probiotic

One favorite recommendation is Nature's Sunshine Eleven Elevated®.

A good general rule: look for at least 9 different strains. If you’ve tried probiotics before and didn’t notice much improvement, it may simply have been a low-quality product or poor delivery system.

This Is About Supporting Your Body

Colon hydrotherapy works best when paired with hydration, nourishing foods, movement, stress reduction, consistency, and listening to your body.
