\n\t\t\t\tUnder healthy conditions, the human body is highly efficient in removing waste and toxins from the digestive tract. Indigestible or mildly poisonous compounds in the food we eat, unwanted or unused vitamins and minerals and excess salts and water all make their way through your colon and out into the toilet bowl, flushed away along without a care. <\/b><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s when everything is working as it should. <\/b>

\n\nCertain factors, however, can quickly turn your colon \u2014 the final segment in your digestive system \u2014 into a toxic wasteland. Factors like chronic stress, poor diet or an imbalanced gut microbiome can all contribute to the build-up of waste in your colon. And that spells bad news for your health in general.

\n\nWhen the colon becomes inundated with excess waste and toxins, it allows harmful compounds to make their way through the gut wall and into your bloodstream. From here, they can wreak havoc on your immune system and contribute to the development of numerous health conditions. If your body is showing signs of a colon overload, you definitely want to get the problem addressed, stat. Here\u2019s what to look out for.

\n1. You\u2019re tired<\/b>

\n\nWe\u2019re not talking about the fatigue that comes from a big night out on the town or a hard day at work \u2014 it\u2019s the constant, inexplicable fatigue that never goes away that is raising the colon alarm here. If you\u2019re getting a reasonable amount of sleep each night (anywhere between seven and nine hours, depending on what works best for your body) and not pushing yourself too hard each day, but still find that you\u2019re constantly tired, it could be that your colon is under too much pressure (literally!).

\n\nIf your body has kicked into overdrive trying to rid itself of all those toxins hanging out in your colon, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll feel chronically fatigued. This kind of stress puts pressure on your adrenals as well, further contributing to the problem.

\n2. You\u2019re stinky<\/b>

\n\nEver wonder why you always have bad breath, regardless of how often you brush or how many times you visit the dreaded dentist? It could be due to an overload of waste buildup in your colon. Often, when the body is dealing with an excess of toxins, your breath is the first thing to start smelling a bit off. Similarly, when we\u2019re eating poorly or stressed out, our sweat and body odor takes a turn for the worse.

\n\nSo, if you\u2019re a bit stinkier than you should be, consider looking to your colon for answers.

\n3. You\u2019ve got allergies<\/b>

\n\nColonic hydrotherapists maintain that, over time, fecal matter begins to build up along the wall of the colon. Eventually, the colonic lining is no longer able to fully prevent some of this fecal matter from entering into the bloodstream, which in turn introduces antigens into the body which can activate an autoimmune response.

\n\nThe result is often an allergic reaction, like sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose and asthmatic symptoms. While many people would consider these to be seasonal allergies, it could be that they are in fact due to excessive waste buildup in the colon.

\n4. You\u2019re putting on weight<\/b>

\n\nIf you exercise regularly, eat well and get a decent amount of sleep every night, you should expect to maintain a reasonably healthy weight, right? But if you\u2019re doing all these things and still putting on (or keeping on) weight, it could be due to those pounds of waste hanging out in your colon.

\n\nThis may be due to two factors. Firstly, there\u2019s the simple \u201cwhat goes in must come out\u201d sort of scenario \u2014 if what you\u2019re putting in isn\u2019t being processed efficiently and then heading out the back door again (but rather is residing in your colon instead), you\u2019re bound to be putting on a little weight. Secondly, more fecal buildup in your colon means more potential for toxin exposure, which increases inflammation and causes your body to retain fat as a survival measure.

\n5. You can\u2019t sleep<\/b>

\n\nPerhaps it isn\u2019t that you\u2019re fatigued for no particular reason, but that you simply can\u2019t sleep in the first place! While there are plenty of reasons why you might be having difficulty getting (or staying) asleep, one of them is due to a colonic overload.

\n\nThat\u2019s because when you\u2019re in a state of toxic stress, the body\u2019s normal circadian rhythm and sleep cycles are disrupted. Unfortunately, this can become a vicious cycle, as sleep has been shown to aid in the removal of toxic metabolites from the body. So, less sleep means more circulating which in turn means less sleep. Fun times.

\n6. You can\u2019t concentrate<\/b>

\n\nIf your colon is acting up due to a waste overload, chances are you won\u2019t be extracting the vitamins and nutrients you need from the foods you eat. That\u2019s because the colon plays an important role in salt, fluid and nutrient absorption, meaning if your colon is impaired you may be suffering from a nutrient deficiency. In such a state, your brain won\u2019t be functioning at 100 percent, making it more difficult to concentrate and perform advanced cognitive tasks.

\n7. You\u2019ve got acne<\/b>

\n\nIt\u2019s usually pretty uncommon for adults to suffer from intense bouts of acne, but the same isn\u2019t true for those folks who have got a little too much waste hiding out in their colon. As discussed earlier, when your colon is in a less than ideal state, it has the potential to release toxins into the bloodstream, which can then elicit an autoimmune reaction whereby the immune system mistakenly attacks benign cells within the body. Some of these cells can be associated with hormone-regulating organs, thereby throwing off your hormonal balance.

\n\nAnd if there\u2019s one thing hormonally-unbalanced teenagers are known for, it\u2019s acne! Hormonal fluctuations have been shown to stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, an oily substance that collects in the outer layer of the skin and manifests as acne. So if you\u2019ve got an acne breakout (and you\u2019re not a teenager!), it could be colonic trouble in paradise.
