I think that if you want to avoid colonics, buy a product called "OXY POWDER". It is a natural oxygen based Colon Cleanse product. I don't use it frequently but I think it is the best colon cleanser on the planet. I can't say that it will heal EC cause I don't use it everyday but I think there is a great shot that it might do something great for our lips if you use it everyday. Also, this stuff replaces colonics IMO. I use 4 capsules right before going to bed and as soon as I wake up I go straight to the toilet. It's not harsh either. Take it with a plant based digestive enzyme supplement and your good.
