When a fecal impaction does develop to cause a blockage, it usually does so where the large intestines and rectum meet. This is a narrow cavity in the gastrointestinal tract and a common place for problems with chronic constipation to originate. New waste cannot get past the blockage so it begins to pile up and cause pressure.
The longer the blockage, the greater the pressure, the acute and painful the abdominal pain will become. Unless the blockage is removed, the pain will continue to intensify and it may lead to bacteria and toxins being reabsorbed by the blood stream. With that, a colon cleanser is in great advantage for it can remove any blockages caused by a fecal impaction. The added benefit of using a colon cleanser is that it will also remove any fecal matter clinging to the sides of your intestines and colon.
