Constipation and Sluggish Bowel

Treated through colonic hydrotherapy and nutritional therapy in Petersfield, Hampshire.


How Colonic Hydrotherapy Helps

Constipation and a sluggish bowel are conditions Claire treats regularly at A - Z Health. Treatment combines colonic hydrotherapy with nutritional guidance, working on the underlying causes rather than the symptoms alone.

In cases of constipation and sluggish bowel, colonic hydrotherapy works to rehabilitate the colon muscles and nerve fibres. Warm, purified water encourages the release of accumulated waste and gas, and supports the bowel in its own muscular activity.

Clients most often describe the following.

  • Sluggish bowel
  • Infrequent stools
  • Straining
  • Incomplete evacuation

How Many Sessions You May Need

Rehabilitating the colon muscles and nerve fibres takes longer than it does for other conditions. For constipation and sluggish bowel, Claire typically recommends 6 to 8 sessions, with gaps of no more than two weeks between them to hold the progress made.

This is a guide rather than a fixed course. Claire reviews your full health history at the initial consultation, then recommends a programme based on how you present rather than a default package.

Once the initial course is complete, many clients return seasonally to maintain bowel function. Claire will advise on a maintenance schedule at the end of your course.


Nutritional Support

Nutritional advice is included as part of every appointment. For clients with constipation, Claire provides dietary guidance alongside the treatment programme, including wheat and gluten free breakfast alternatives where common triggers are a factor.

Claire holds an MSc in Nutrition and Behaviour and is registered with the Association for Nutrition. Where clinical assessment suggests testing would change the direction of treatment, lab testing is arranged through Genova Diagnostics.
