What effect does a colonoscopy have on the gut flora?
Colonoscopy, better known as colonoscopy, is now recommended to all people over the age of 50 as a preventive examination to detect any changes in the (large) intestinal tissue. In order to have a really free bowel, appropriate preparation is required, among other things in the form of a thorough bowel cleansing.
The condition of the intestine can only be reliably assessed when it is empty, and a laxative (lavage) is taken with sufficient liquid to empty the intestine completely and rinse it thoroughly. However, colon cleansing temporarily leads to a significant change in the natural intestinal flora. This is reduced to less than one-thirtieth during colonoscopy preparation.
Immediately after a colonoscopy, the intestine may be susceptible to new foreign germs due to the reduced competitive pressure. This is noticeable in up to 80% of people after a colonoscopy: Almost half experience bloating, followed by diarrhoea, abdominal pain and constipation.
However, the fact that unwanted intestinal inhabitants such as putrefactive germs and co are also flushed out offers the intestine and its microbiome the opportunity to rid itself of old "burdens" and start anew. Ideally with as many useful bacteria as possible, so that undesirable germs no longer have room to settle.
How does OMNi-BiOTiC® COLONIZE work?
OMNi-BiOTiC® COLONIZE is the new start for your intestine and supplements the intestinal flora with 6 scientifically combined bacterial strains naturally occurring in the human intestine. The special feature is the high number of 18 billion bacteria per daily dose, which have been proven to colonise the intestine naturally.How is OMNi-BiOTiC® COLONIZE taken?
Stir 1 sachet of OMNi-BiOTiC® COLONIZE (= 3 g) into approx. 1/8 l of water twice a day, wait at least 1 minute for activation, stir again and then drink.
It is recommended to take it on an empty stomach if possible, e.g. in the morning before breakfast and in the evening before dinner or before going to bed.
The use of OMNi-BiOTiC® COLONIZE is recommended for at least four weeks after a colonoscopy and also after intestinal cleanse or colonic irrigation.
