ColonEaze~Firm is my ideal stool bulking agent, formulated by me for Imix Nutrition, that relieves diarrhea by absorbing excess liquid, helping all those separate stool deposits clump/bind together, improving intestinal muscle tone, and helping to regulate/balance peristalsis.
ColonEaze~Firm contains organic sprouted chia seed powder and organic psyllium seed powder. It does not contain psyllium husk. Why? Because many people with sensitive guts can be triggered if they ingest a lot of psyllium husk, but they’re just fine (and helped) by psyllium seed. These are very different parts of the plant and they affect the intestines differently – so it’s important to get the ratio right, and with diarrhea, it may be best to avoid psyllium husk altogether.
Psyllium seed and chia seed are gentle, soluble fibers that bulk up the stool (attracts/holds water and stool together), evens out peristaltic rhythm, and helps produce butyrate (anti-inflammatory for the gut), while it also becomes a food for probiotics. All of which help heal/maintain the integrity of the colon mucosal lining.
Due to psyllium and chia’s stool bulking ability, it is also a gentle detox agent and helps sweep out toxins, die-off substances, or dead pathogens – which is what your body is already trying to get rid of with diarrhea!
Bilberry has been used since the Middle Ages to treat diarrhea, inflammation of the mouth, urinary problems, and diabetes. Acacia has been used historically to treat bedsores and wounds, inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, and, when applied topically, to treat inflamed skin surfaces, burns, and nodular leprosy. The plant’s gum has also been used as an astringent, a cough and cold remedy, a treatment for diarrhea and dysentery, sore throats, and urinary infections.
This study shows that acacia is an effective free 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 of symptoms in patients with IBS.
Available in a loose powder that you can add to water or diluted non-acidic fruit juice (like pear, apple, mango). Start low and slow (1 tsp, once per day) and gradually build-up to the amount and dosage frequency (1-3x/day) your body needs.
Dosage: Mix 1-3 teaspoons in 8-16 ounces (1-2 cups) of water or diluted fruit juice, 1-3 times per day. Stir briskly and drink promptly. Start with half a teaspoon and gradually increase. Best if used on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning and before bed is usually best. Make sure to drink another cup (8 ounces) of water following dosage.
ColonEaze~Firm can be taken at any time of the day, however, to establish a routine and promote regularity, we suggest taking it at the same time(s) each day. Make sure you are also drinking at least 8-10 glasses of filtered or spring water per day.
If you would like to increase its action, then you can do so by either increasing the amount you take, or by increasing the frequency of dosage.
So this means you might want to increase to 1.5 teaspoons or 1 tablespoon every morning and see how your body responds. Or you might like to take 1 teaspoon in the morning and 1 teaspoon in the afternoon. People have used up to 2 tablespoons per dosage. So you may want to increase slowly and find the dosage/frequency that is right for your unique body.
There are no known contraindications for using ColonEaze long term, but as your gut health and diet improve, you may not need to take it every day, or you may wish to decrease the dosage etc.
*NOTE: ColonEaze is a dietary supplement comprised of a herb blend, and % DV is based on children 4 & up. We don’t know of any health risks, but you can always check with your healthcare professional for any concerns.

NOTE: 1.84% of women over age 60 have heart palpitations caused by psyllium. Either due to an allergic reaction or due to psyllium slowing down the digestion/absorption of carbohydrates, thus resulting in low blood sugar and increased heart rate.
I am wondering if this product is good for people who struggle more with strictures and constipation rather than diarrhea. My goal is to keep things moving but hesitate to do alot of insoluble fiber due to narrowings in the intestine. I am currently using the internal and external StrictureHeal protocols.
Hi Leah, Coloneaze Move is intended to relieve symptoms of constipation, however, if you have a stricture, blockage, or obstruction we recommend only using it under the strict guidance of your physician. If I was you I would also make sure to listen to this often and see what emotional and other can be released that could contribute to the scrticture in addition to the physical protocols: https://shoppe.listentoyourgut.com/collections/healing-sessions-meditations/products/healing-meditation-for-anal-stenosis-stricture-hemorrhoids-mp3-audio All my best!

I have Crohn’s disease. I also have an ileostomy for 22 years. I have a short bowel (only 6 feet of intestines left) due to multiple surgeries. I have a problem with diarrhea and too much gas that makes my pouch inflate. Do you think I can benefit with COLONEAZE ????
I drink twice a day Absorb Plus for years now. Very soothing to my gut. I can’t live without it.
Please I need your comment or advice. Thank you

Hi Marta, So sorry to hear about those symptoms. They can be really intense. I totally understand!
If you haven’t make sure to read Jini’s home remedies on Diaareha and gas here:https://listentoyourgut.com/diarrhea/ https://listentoyourgut.com/gas-and-bloating/ Regarding the ileostomy I pulled up a whole section in which we have info and readers stories on ileostomy bags that I think you will find helpful here: https://listentoyourgut.com/search_gcse/?q=ileostomy With coloneaze we have heard from many others that Psyllium seed is helpful for people with an ileostomy to slow down the transit and bulk up the liquid. So you could try it going low and slow and see how it works for your body.

Hi! I see that the label says it does not contain wheat. Can you confirm that this product is 100% safe for people with celiac/gluten intolerance? I have a pretty severe case and have reservations when an item does not specifically say gluten free on the label. But I am currently dealing with chronic diarrhea and hoping this can help. Thank you!
Hi Drue! ColonEaze is made with Organic Psyllium Seed Powder, Organic Sprouted Chia Seed Powder, Organic Acacia Gum, Apple Pectin and Bilberry extract which are all gluten-free ingredients. Imix Nutrition did not conduct gluten-free testing on this product so we cannot make this claim. We will let them know we received a request for this and see if they can add this testing so that we can legally state it is gluten-free.
Hello,
Just bought coloneze. I’ve completed the six week elemental diet and I have re-introduced foods, but I am still doing the oregano and nature and protocol to get rid of pathogens. When would be an ideal time to take this closer to: after I take oregano or after probiotics?
Hi Lin, thanks for reaching out. ColonEaze is best used on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning or before bed is usually best. I would ensure it is taken 2 hours away from probiotics. Probiotics should be taken completely on their own, 20 minutes before food, or 2 hours after food. Hope this helps!
ColonEaze~Firm REALLY hurt my gut.(and this was after the six week elemental diet.. I started dosing small and I definitely felt some discomfort towards the end of the day, but I thought it was probably something I ate. The next day I bumped up the amount a little bit more and wow the discomfort level was pretty intense. I’m disappointed that I spent $50 on this product to have such a terrible reaction. What do you recommend moving forward? Is this a common experience?
Hi Lin, thanks for reaching out about this. Did you start with half of a teaspoon as your first serving and drink 8oz of water following the dosage? Also, did you take it on an empty stomach?
I took around a tsp on an empty stomach. I can try again with a half. Is it a matter of my body getting adjusted to it?
Thanks for the response
Hi Lin! Im sorry you experienced that. Often the body does have to readjust! Here is a reminder of the instructions: Mix 1-3 teaspoons in 8-16 ounces (1-2 cups) of water or diluted fruit juice, 1-3 times per day. Stir briskly and drink promptly. Start with half a teaspoon and gradually increase. Best if used on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning and before bed is usually best. Important: Drink another cup (8 ounces) of water following dosage. So you could try half a teaspoon, then make sure you are following it up with at least 8 ounces of water! Drinking water with this is very important.
Hi There,
I’m looking at buying this for My 13yr old son who has Crohn’s Disease. His only symptom being around 4-5 explosive diarrhoea’s a day. Would you suggest I start him on this? So far in his healing journey we have managed to stay away from medications and he currently takes a variety of supplements including vitamin d, omegas 3, iron and butyrate. I was also going to start him on the WOO protocol. Can you do the WOO at the same time as this?
