Constipation is one of the most common — and uncomfortable — side effects for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Many cancer patients experience slowed motility due to the medications, dehydration, changes in diet, and the body being under significant stress. This can leave them feeling heavy, bloated, toxic, and unable to fully eliminate.

This morning’s session is a great example.
It took about 40 minutes before the body began to release — which is not unusual for someone going through chemo. Once elimination began, you could visibly see the system start to clear and the abdominal pressure reduce.

Colon hydrotherapy can be a gentle, supportive therapy to help these patients:

• Encourage natural peristalsis
• Relieve discomfort and pressure
• Reduce toxic buildup in the colon
• Help patients feel lighter and more comfortable during treatment

Every session is different, and with chemotherapy clients, we always move slowly and compassionately, honoring what the body is going through.

If you or someone you love is undergoing cancer treatment and struggling with constipation, know that there are supportive options to help the body eliminate more comfortably.

Your body is already fighting hard — sometimes it just needs a little help releasing what it no longer needs. 🤍

Bread Bloat Is Real 🍞

I had a longtime client (8+ years, very consistent with her sessions) come in this week feeling extremely heavy and full. The only thing she had done differently? She ate bread two days in a row — something her body isn’t used to.

Even though she was still having bowel movements, she didn’t feel fully eliminated. It took 45 minutes for movement to even begin during her session, and when it did, everything was slow, heavy, and sluggish through the tube.

Bread can become very sticky and pasty in the colon, especially for people who don’t regularly eat it. That texture can slow digestion, create a “backed-up” feeling, and leave you feeling weighed down even if you’re technically going.

If you’ve been feeling full, heavy, or not fully relieved lately, take a look at your diet — sometimes it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest difference in how your gut moves and feels.

Listen to your body. It always tells the truth.
