SO YOU WANNA TRY A COLONIC?

Yesterday, I went to see Donna at Gravity East Village for a colonic. I got into doing these about two years ago after trying everything to fix my gut.

A gastro that I no longer speak to told me I had sibo. She said that my body was 80 percent methane, which my kids still tease me about.

If you have ever taken the test for sibo, you know that it is the most annoying thing ever. You basically have to spend twenty-four hours eating nothing but boiled eggs, white bread and chicken without seasoning. You can’t have coffee, fruits, vegetables, salt, or anything else I that normally like to eat.

As a food obsessed human, it was my worst nightmare! Being given such limited options, was on some level worse than being told I couldn’t eat at all. The boredom alone almost killed me, and I complained to Jason every thirty-minutes like I was being drawn and quartered.

“Jesus, Jenny. You aren’t even starving.” he didn’t feel badly for me in the slightest.
