Detoxify and cleanse the intestines to remove white floating matter

More than 90% of the white floating objects you see after bowel cleansing are not the "intestinal wall toxins and fecal garbage" advertised by the merchants. They are either undigested added ingredients and unabsorbed oils in the bowel cleansing products, or mucosal secretions that are normally shed by the intestines. Only in rare cases that persist do you need to be alert to pathological problems. There is no need to be ecstatic about "successful detoxification", nor to be overly anxious.

A while ago, my best friend followed the trend and bought a fruit and vegetable enzyme package brought by a certain anchor. After drinking it for two days, she happily took a photo of the toilet and posted it to her best friend group, saying, "Look at the intestinal toxins I eliminated!" The white flowers are all garbage that has been hanging on the intestinal wall for many years." I almost laughed out loud across the screen - I had read the ingredient list before she bought the enzyme, and the top ones were chitosan and microcrystalline cellulose. These two things are not easily digested by the human body. They are mixed with the grease and fecal residue in the intestines and are excreted. Don't they just look like white flowers floating on the water? To put it bluntly, the "detox experience" you spend a lot of money to buy is actually a "placebo effect" that the product is deliberately designed to give you. I'm afraid you won't buy it next time if you think it's ineffective.

Of course, there are also people who have never used any colon cleansing products and suddenly see white floating objects in their bowel movements one day. Don’t rush to suspect that you have been secretly poisoned. It's probably because I've been greedy for high-fat foods such as butter hot pot, fried cakes, and fried skewers in the past few days. The digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas are not enough, and the fat is excreted before it is completely decomposed. This is what is clinically called "steatorrhea". It looks like a layer of off-white oil floating on the water, often with the smell of hot pot base. You can pull it once or twice and wait for the excess fat to be drained away. There are also people who have been constipated for several days recently, or have mild enteritis. The intestinal mucosa will naturally metabolize and fall off a little, leaving flocculent white floating matter mixed in the feces. If there is no obvious abdominal pain or fever, there is no need to deal with it at all.

But it does not mean that all white floating objects are normal. My friend who rotated in the gastroenterology department encountered a similar case. The patient had white floating objects for a week, thinking that the whole grain porridge he drank was detoxifying. Finally, his skin turned yellow before he came to the hospital. It was found that the bile duct was blocked by biliary stones, and the bile could not be discharged into the intestines. It could not break down the fat, and even the feces turned clay color. This situation has nothing to do with detoxification. If it continues, it may even affect liver function. So if you see white floating objects for more than 3 days in a row, accompanied by abdominal pain, nausea, yellowing of the skin and sclera, and lighter overall color of the stool, don’t hesitate to go directly to the hospital to check your liver function and abdominal ultrasound. Don’t be delayed by the so-called detoxification claims.

Of course, I also know that many supporters of natural therapy will insist that this white floating matter is Candida colonies in the intestines and toxin plaques deposited over the years. This kind of statement currently has no clear evidence-based support in the field of mainstream clinical medicine. It is more of a rhetoric used by health care merchants to promote their products. You must know that the human intestine has its own metabolic rhythm. If you eat enough dietary fiber and defecate regularly, you can eliminate metabolic waste. There is no need to use additional products such as laxatives and enzymes to "violently cleanse the intestines". On the contrary, it may destroy the intestinal flora and cause more harm than gain.

Speaking of which, I also paid this IQ tax two years ago. I bought a 7-day bowel cleansing package from a certain Internet celebrity brand. I drank various pastes and fruit and vegetable juices every day. On the third day, I did have a lot of white floc. At that time, I felt happy that the money was well spent. Later, I found a nutritionist. Counting the ingredients, the paste added a lot of insoluble dietary fiber and vegetable wax, which itself will not be absorbed by the human body. What was excreted was not poison at all, but just additives that I paid for. That set cost me 1,800, and I still feel bad thinking about it now.

In fact, in the final analysis, everyone's obsession with "detoxification" is just to make the body healthier, but there is really no need to stare at the excrement in the toilet and wonder about it. If the white floating matter that appears after taking a colon cleansing product is no longer abnormal after stopping, then you should spend money to learn a lesson.； If you don’t eat randomly but still have it frequently, see a doctor. It will be more useful than searching through ten WeChat Moments.
