WOW!!! I'm new and need some help....

Wow!!! I'm new to the site, but have been thoroughly and shockingly educated since about 8:45 this morning. Let me just start out by saying I am glad that I found this site. Ok. I won't waste anymore of your precious time and get right to it.

I was driven to find some info on my problem this week by my painful excruciating bowel/colon/anus problems. In short, I'm having some serious problems eliminating. I hope this is not too graphic, but by looking at this site, I think I'll be just fine. When I was going to the bathroom this morning, it felt like I was trying to squeeze out a baseball bat through a hole the size of nickel. It was painful. I went through all kinds of contortions... squeezing my cheeks together... trying to eliminate. It was so painful that I stuck my finger up the hole to try losening the feces so that it would pass more smoothly. What an ordeal. At the end, it finally came out in a thick brown solid stream. I got to work and started looking for some help and found this site. It is blatantly obvious to me now, that I need a complete diet change. I also need a serious cleaning. My butt/anus/colon is still hurting. I'm almost scared to go to the bathroom now. My experience was not pleasant at all. I'm kinda chucklin' about it, but it really hurt. :)

Ok... here are my questions.

1. I saw a cleansing product on the web called Colonix(tm) Colon Cleanse Program. It has the intestinal cleaner too. Has anyone used this?

2. Ptree said the following: "Psyllium and Bentonite is one of the simplest and most effective ways to cleanse the digestive system." Is this better than the above product? Do both products accomplish the same goal?

3. If I use Psyllium and bentonite, can I pick this stuff up at my local grocery store?

Thanks everybody...
Nothing but soup and water for me today.... I think I'm going to be doing some serious fasting too.... It's time to change my disgusting eating habits.... Thanks again... Tweet
