Best way to clean out colon

I've been eating HORRIBLY for the past few weeks ( junk food, cheese, over consumption of foods, eating out, etc.) My ulcerative colitis is under control due to the Humira injections and Lialda. My husband and I made a promise to each other that we will start eating healthier starting tomorrow. Is there anything I can do or take to clean out my system of all the toxins, bad foods, etc. without going into a flare? Thank you! :)

One or two days of juice or liquid fasting is fine (pure/clean liquids: organic liquid soups, organic fruit juice, coconut water, odwalla, protein shake, etc.). That's what I do when I want to "clean out" my system... usually feel pretty clean and light after a day or two. I wouldn't take anything that has a laxative effect.

I'm not a big believer in "colon cleansing" so my advice is not to go overboard. Your body will adjust all by itself as you change your wicked ways. It has even been proven that the body starts healing itself with smokers who just quit smoking. I don't think it's any different with the colon.

tournevice, senna can also turn your intestines brown. i had been using it for years for my constipation (i had previously been a constipated UCer) and when i got a colonoscopy one year, my doctor said my colon was an odd brown color. he asked if i used senna leaf for constipation and i told him i drank 2 cups of that tea every day.

Ditto to what Gary said!!
