A colonic is not painful. Most people actually enjoy the colonic and are especially pleased with the unaccustomed sensation of feeling lighter and initially cleaner afterward. Sometimes during a colonic, the colon muscles will contract suddenly expelling considerable amounts of liquid and waste into the rectum. This may feel like cramping or gas, and may create a feeling of urgency to empty the rectum. Such episodes, if they do occur, are brief and easily tolerated.

Most patients describe the “hot” sensation mentioned previously. Others describe the feeling as “tiny pinches”. Either way, the feeling is fleeting, lasting less than a second. Once the firing is complete, the discomfort disappears. We will provide you with an ice pack to minimize discomfort at your request.
