Post-Colonic Care: What to Eat and Drink After a Colonic
We recommend having a fresh vegetable juice within 45 minutes to 1 hour after your colon hydrotherapy session, and a light bite or full meal within 2 hours. This helps balance blood sugar, stimulate natural peristalsis, and strengthen your body after detox.
Remember: after your session, your whole system is cleaner, clearer, and more finely tuned!
To support your continued healing:
Eat clean, green, organic, and high-fiber foods
Avoid challenging foods on the first day, such as spicy dishes, beans, cabbage, or Brussels sprouts
Be mindful of your food combinations and how they affect digestion
Drink plenty of natural liquids: purified water, herbal teas, and fresh vegetable juices
Distinguish between emotional cravings and truly nourishing food choices
Pay attention to how food feels before and after you eat it—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually
A rectal probiotic implant (available at Tummy Temple) may be used at night to replenish beneficial gut bacteria
Lifestyle Tips for Gentle Integration
Support your physical, emotional, and energetic system with intentional rest, movement, and awareness:
Practice gentle movement daily (45–60 minutes): walking, stretching, yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, swimming, or breathwork
Receive bodywork or try self-massage techniques: reflexology, acupressure, craniosacral, connective tissue massage, Rolfing
Rest and relax without judgment—honor your body’s need to slow down
Avoid toxic or stressful environments; protect your space and energy
Visualize the life and healing you desire:
The clearer your focus, the more deliberate your path
The more adventurous your spirit, the more creative your healing
The more aligned your choices, the more transformative your process
