Not to mention that people with colostomies would be severely
malnourished no matter what dietary pattern(s) they followed. My DH had
a colostomy a year ago...he was under the wrong impression on the
function of the colon...he learned otherwise...didn't believe me, but
did believe the doctor!

It is an urban legand. It has no logic. The purpose of the colon is to
absorb water. If the walls were caked with anything, as the colon
cleansing
people claim, it wouldn't be able to absorb the water and the person
would
have constant diarrhea.
