According to Dr. Tassiana Alves (CRM-SP 166.333 and RQE 104.253), the intestinal detox is a procedure that aims to remove the microbiota that inhabits the patient's intestine - bacteria, fungi (toxin producers), and protozoa are removed. We use laxatives and remove everything that's in the intestine, including intestinal mucus, leftover food with inflammatory potential, and chronic inflammation-causing agents in the patient. According to the expert, the benefits of detox are mainly related to the rapid change in the intestinal microbiota. This means that, after removing the bacteria after the cleaning, a treatment is initiated to help the growth of good bacteria. However, Tassiana clarifies that this is done with dietary changes so that the individual does not go back to eating the same things they used to, as the goal is not to feed those types of bacteria that inhabited the intestine. We use some supplements that will improve the intestinal pH, provide nutrients for these bacteria, and sometimes we introduce probiotic strains - bacteria that will help the growth of more healthy bacteria. Contraindications According to the doctor, the intestinal detox is not performed in pregnant women, as there is no knowledge about the level of safety in this population. Patients who use a colostomy bag may have significant discomfort with the procedure, and those with kidney insufficiency may experience complications. Tassiana argues that the technique is avoided in these groups because the detox causes diarrhea and can lead to dehydration. Post-detox Tassiana emphasizes that eating what nature offers is a recommendation for dietary changes. However, she notes that she does not create meal plans, but refers the individual to a nutritionist. I offer some dietary guidance to my patient, but with a focus on healthy microbiota growth, not calorie counting. We have to think about the quality of food. jornaldebrasilia.com.br/blogs-e-colunas/analice-nicolau/compreenda-o-detox-intestinal
