Colon Shake

Sean turned me on to this. I guess he got the recipe from a buddy of his at work.

The idea is to simply help cleanse your colon and digestive track while replacing a meal (preferrably breakfast) with something a bit more healthy. You get all the fiber you need, lose a little weight, and have a healthier colon, right? Well yeah it seems to work out that way so far. I’ve got at least Brian and Rand turned on to this. Sean says he’s got Grandma drinking it too.

How’s it going so far? Pretty well. For the first couple days you will turn into a methane plant. Every couple hours a nice puff. They are dry puffs! No squirts. Right away though you do notice a nice “firming” effect. It can only be described as “logs.”

A few pieces of advice:

  • Drink right away. If you lag on this it will thicken up and you will need a spoon.
  • Don’t drink right before bed. If you don’t start digesting this, you will wake up in the middle of the night feeling like there is a chunk of lead in your stomach.
  • If you plan to go to the gym after, give it a little while and drink lotsa water or else cramps.

    Now for the recipe:

  • 8 oz. Soy Milk (chocolate seems to taste best)
  • 1 cup Oatmeal (ground so you don’t have to CHEW it later)
  • 1 tsp Wheat germ
  • 1/2 tsp Psyllium Husk (GNC calls this Colon Pure)
  • Half a banana or berries or anything else… Makes it taste good and stuff.
  • Blend well (if you don’t add fruit, just a shaker or mixer will do well)

    Also chris, while you’re messing with your blog settings, you should enable HTML in your comments, unless you have them off on purpose.

    Howard Stern and Robin Quivers talked about this whole colonic/colonoscopy/isthereamarbleinyourcolon thing a few weeks ago.

    I guess I just never ate a marble.

    since I am not the original author of this recipe, I can’t speak to the motives behind the inclusion of the various ingredients- but if I had to guess I would say it uses soy milk instead of dairy milk due to soy milk’s lower fat content.

    In addition, you can get soy milk with fiber added- WestSoy Plus has up to 13% of your daily fiber per 8 oz serving. There is a huge difference between the different soy milks for the fat and fiber contents, as well as the various vitamin supplement fortifications.
