Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | ok but talking about cleanses

I watched an infomercial about cleansing on Sunday and I am curious about the whole thing. I know my gut is ultra sensitive and doing anything to upset it is a bad idea. Yet I do believe I am loaded down with unpassed stool and grunge. Everytime I am x-rayed I appear C when I am not. I am going to the doc to talk about it next Wednesday. I am curious if cleansing out that stuff will lead to less bloating like they say. Frankly nothing can be done about bloating. Even when I am stable I bloat often and most of the winter. I wonder if there is some way to cleanse out the gunk without adverse reactions. I don't want a cleanser like Dual Action Cleanse that requires repeated applications! That is so stupid. But I will tell you frankly that besides fennel tea there is nothing to really benefit bloating and Heather's diet really does little for bloating. So I am confused about what I should do and I am anxious to see what my doctor will say next week. (I want to ask her about melatonin usage.)

--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
