It is the colon probing that binds us.

I feel as if we are all one, with our internal plumbing, and as a board. Truely a spritual event that I shall cherish.

Can anyone tell me what the reasoning of getting one of these is? I mean, I am 28, should I be going to my doctor and telling him I need to have one or does something have to be wrong to have one?

No, dude I had an Irritable Bowel issue which has come and gone and was brought on by stress a few months ago. My stomach never really settled down. Its one of the reasons I take it easy when I drink b/c I really pay for it. You shouldn't get one unless you are having problems till you are in your 40's or have a family history of issues. Hope this helps Scavs

That's why I watch what I eat, but I got a Rx for something that has helped a lot. Simply slows things down.
