If you want to compare what you weight with and without a full intestine
there is a simple process. The next time you're at the doctors go to
the front desk and ask if they have the directions for how to prepare
for a colonoscopy. Schedule a night that you only need a couple of
hours of sleep and a day you aren't expected to work and follow the
directions. It will empty your intestines completely. As good as any
colonic. Don't expect the process to be pleasant but it will be very
effective. Weigh yourself before and after and use the tape measure
before and after.
I recently had a colonoscopy based on my age and the recommended time
for a colonoscopy. I lost several pounds of crap but under an inch of
belt size, and the pounds and inch were back in several days.
Definitely fat not built up crap.
> All right. I've always been skeptical about that "gut leak" thing.
I think that's a different issue. Irritable bowel syndrome and Croens
disease are supposed to be caused by grain irritating the intestine and
causing it to leak. If you have any reason to suspect either of those
try going grain free for a month and see if there is any improvement.

The problem with that approach is folks are often very sick just before
they die so the condition of their body at death can be very different
than what is was most of their life. Consider Dr Atkins condition
before he fell on the ice (tall, arguably below his ideal weight,
healthy enough to walk to work each morning) and his condition after a
while on life support and intravenous carby feeding.

Thanks for the info. I would like to have that colonscopy done. I have
to go to the doctor in a few weeks, anyway.

Writing as someone who has had a colonoscopy in the last year, you have
to be crazy or inexperienced to actually want one. It's not an
experience you'll want to repeat. But having a colonoscopy appears on
the recommended medical preventive maintenance schedule for folks
passing age 50 so you may have one suggested no matter what you want.
It was a miserable experience but since it was expected I had it
scheduled and noted what happened. I never did have a high colonic and
now I doubt I ever will. The preparation for the colonoscopy did the
same thing.
