Answer by Lesh
If she is on chemo she should clear this with her doctor for her own safety.

Answer by inverse_mushroom_cloud
Absolutely not.

If she is constipated from the chemo or premeds, she should use a gentle laxative such as Colace or Senekot.

Even healthy people don’t need to cleanse their colons. Chemo patients are usually told to avoid even suppositories.

Answer by Joseph F
No.

And she shouldn’t be taking ANYTHING the doctor has not prescribed or recommended. There is no need whatsoever to “cleanse” a colon, yet an entire bogus industry has grown up around this ridiculous notion…

Answer by lads3us
NO, 100 TIMES NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!People/companies should not be allowed to advertise this colon cleansing. It does not help any conditions that I’ve heard about. It also takes all the “good bacteria” out of your colon. Her immune system has been altered at present because of the chemo and certainly does not to be altered anymore with colon cleansing.
