ColonEaze~Firm is my ideal stool filler that I developed for Imix Nutrition. It relieves diarrhea by absorbing excess fluid, helping to clump/connect all those separate stool deposits, improving intestinal muscle tone and helping to regulate/balance peristalsis.
ColonEaze~Firm contains sprouted organic chia seed powder and organic psyllium seed powder. It does not contain psyllium husk. Why? Because many people with sensitive guts may experience irritation if they eat a lot of psyllium husk, but psyllium seeds are fine for them (and help). These are very different parts of the plant that have different effects on the intestines – so it’s important to find the right ratio, and if you have diarrhea it may be best to avoid psyllium husks altogether.
Psyllium and chia seeds are gentle, soluble fibers that provide stool bulking (attracting/retaining water and stool), balancing peristaltic rhythms, and helping produce butyrate (anti-inflammatory for the gut) while also serving as food for probiotics. All of this contributes to the healing/maintenance of the integrity of the colon lining.
Due to the stool-swelling effects of psyllium and chia, it is also a gentle detoxifier and helps eliminate toxins, dying substances or dead pathogens – which is what your body is already trying to get rid of when you have diarrhea!
Blueberries have been used since the Middle Ages to treat diarrhea, mouth infections, urinary tract problems and diabetes. Acacia has historically been used to treat bedsores and wounds, inflammation of the intestinal lining and, when applied topically, to treat inflamed skin surfaces, burns and nodular leprosy. The plant’s gum is also used as an astringent, cough and cold remedy, and to treat diarrhea and dysentery, sore throats, and urinary tract infections.
This study shows that acacia is an effective radical scavenger and chain-breaking antioxidant. Another study here added acacia and bifidobacteria to yogurt and found a significant improvement in bowel movements and reduction in symptoms in patients with IBS.
Available as a loose powder that you can add to water or diluted, non-acidic fruit juice (such as pear, apple, mango). Start slowly and slowly (1 teaspoon, once per day) and increase the amount and dosing frequency (1-3x/day) your body needs.
Dosage: Mix 1-3 teaspoons with 8-16 ounces (1-2 cups) of water or diluted fruit juice 1-3 times per day. Stir vigorously and drink immediately. Start with half a teaspoon and gradually increase the amount. Best taken on an empty stomach, preferably first thing in the morning and before going to bed. Be sure to drink another cup (8 ounces) of water after dosing.
ColonEaze~Firm can be taken at any time of the day. However, to establish a routine and promote regularity, we recommend taking it at the same time each day. Make sure you also drink at least 8-10 glasses of filtered or spring water per day.
If you want to increase the effects, you can do this by either increasing the amount taken or increasing the frequency of dosing.
So that means you should increase to 1.5 teaspoons or 1 tablespoon every morning and see how your body reacts. Or you can take 1 teaspoon in the morning and 1 teaspoon in the afternoon. People have used up to 2 tablespoons per dosage. You may want to increase the dose slowly and find the dosage/frequency that works best for your individual body.
There are no known contraindications to long-term use of ColonEaze, but as your gut health and diet improve, you may not need to take it every day or may want to reduce the dosage, etc.
*NOTE: ColonEaze is a dietary supplement consisting of a herbal blend and the % DV is based on children ages 4 and up. We are not aware of any health risks, but you can always contact your doctor if you have any concerns.

NOTE: 1.84% of women over 60 have heart palpitations caused by psyllium. Either due to an allergic reaction or because psyllium slows the digestion/absorption of carbohydrates, resulting in low blood sugar and increased heart rate.
