I love how you don’t want to put the staff through this but Kwesi is fair game.
Also I think Rachel has seen everything… like EVERYTHING! LMAO

[naturegeek]

Important to reiterate what Zach said, many doctors don’t recommend this unless a doctor suggests it for a legitimate reason, your body is self cleaning. BTW, this video was so fun to watch

[JV-scwr]

anyone feeling like Keith needed this more than anyone with all his eat the menus??

[FoodB]

Ned is acting like he is watching his friends giving birth while Eugene is totally enjoying it

[ariake]

I work with endoscopy units for a living, and everyone - please don't do this without consulting a gastroenterologist. Your digestive system is a complex mechanism that cleans itself just fine for most people using all sorts of healthy organisms that are supposed to be there. Colonics completely destroys that equilibrium.

If you're having issues, see a gastroenterologist because it could easily be something else, and they can help you diagnose and treat the actual root problem, usually without an experience like this (unless you need a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, in which case there’s no avoiding bowel prep but at least you get cancer screening, confirmation of other conditions like diverticulitis, or therapeutics like polyp removal out of the experience) 👍🏻

Ned was still there, so they didn't get all the shit out

[bobbiobanion]

Kwesi has earned his try guy spot from this, he overcame his poop shyness and let someone film it and put it on YouTube. Give this man his color, an animal onesie and a video that's his idea.

[lundimakes]

I love that Eugene is spending all his time writing movies and books, but when he gets the call to watch Zach shit himself, he's there baby!

[nsullivan]

Interesting but i agree with everyone else- shouldve had a doctor come on and explain why and how this could be dangerous, but also what health issues it could be beneficial for.
Definitely needs a follow up video on how the guys are feeling post-colonics.

[clg]

Cool to see them trying things again outside of their studio bubble. This feels like an iconic vintage Try Guys video from their former company that shall not be named

[thesmileyeffect]

I appreciate that the guys made the decision to not create an uncomfortable workplace situation for their staff by having Ned and Eugene be the production crew.

Risks of Colonics:
1. Severe Cramping
Awful abdominal cramping is one of the most common side effects of a colon hydrotherapy treatment. This occurs due to large amounts of water being flushed through the digestive system. Air bubbles can occur causing painful cramping, abdominal pain, a weighty feeling of fullness, and bloating.
2. Electrolyte Imbalance
The colon is like a sponge and oftentimes clients can absorb too much water during a colon hydrotherapy treatment or over repeated treatments.  Too much water can cause a severe electrolyte imbalance and side affects—including heart arrhythmia, nausea, vomiting, cramping, fluid on the lungs and even coma.
3. Bacterial Infection
A bacterial infection can occur following a colonics treatment if the equipment used is not properly sanitized. This is why most states demand that any equipment used in colonics hydrotherapy is serialized and disposable so it can be replaced between clients. Contaminated colonics equipment may cause a bacterial infection anywhere along the digestive system. An infection can also result inside the colon if too much healthy bacteria are flushed away during the procedure.
4. Renal Failure
Renal failure (or kidney failure) is a severe risk of colonics that has been linked to certain herbal preparations used over many colonics treatments. Renal failure will occur if the kidneys are unable to filter waste products out of the blood.
5. Bowel Perforation
Bowel perforation, which actually results from damage to the wall of the bowel, can occur with colon hydrotherapy that is not performed by a professional. This severe perforation is usually caused by flushing the bowel with too much pressure and requires emergency surgery to repair.
6. Liver Toxicity
The liver is closely related to the colon as both filter waste and toxins out of the body. If an unsafe herbal preparation is used in a colonics treatment, liver toxicity (or aplastic anemia) can occur if toxins remain in the blood.
7. Abscesses
Studies show that abscesses can form after faulty colonic hydrotherapy treatments. An abscess or multiple abscesses can form due to damage to the walls of the colon. If the tissue becomes infected, pus can accumulate in sacs along the colon lining (similar to a condition called colitis).
8. Exacerbate Existing Health Issues
A client should never undergo colon hydrotherapy treatments if they have existing health conditions—such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, internal hemorrhoids, rectal or intestinal tumors, heart disease, kidney disease, and diverticulitis. Also, any patient who recently underwent any type of surgery should avoid colonics altogether.

I feel like Kwesi is slowly becoming the 5th try guy, and I'm honestly not mad.

[conifer]

Shout-out to all the commenters calling this out as pseudoscience. The video could've really used more discussion of that, beyond Zach mentioning for like 3 seconds that doctors actively recommend AGAINST doing this in most cases

Edit: just don't do things that mess up your gut microbiome, those little guys living down there are super important to your health

[juliast.pierre]

While this definitely felt like a fun, vintage Try Guys video, I agree with everyone voicing concerns about the science behind this.

[LbsterTil]

Eugene and Ned: We are poop free cos we love butt stuff

The things Ned will say to get out of this video

[lh]

I think after this we can officially call Kwesi a Try guy. He's earned it.

[sara-smtw]

Petition for kwesi to take neds spot as new try guy

[me-mjdu]

I kinda wish y’all documented the aftermath and whether or not it actually messed up your gut micro biome in a noticeable way!

[joannaspaghetti]

As someone with crohns, I definitely wish they had done a more thorough disclaimer about how these can be harmful. Just scrolling through the comments for a few minutes and I already read several comments of people wanting to try this now... I understand wanting to be respectful of the establishment they went to, but if people are struggling with intestinal issues and see this done on such a big platform (with only the briefest mention of potential negative consequences) I'm worried that people with undiagnosed IBD could end up in a lot of pain from trying this. When I was first diagnosed, it came as a surprise to both my doctor and I that I had several ulcers in my large intestine. If I had tried this before my diagnosis in hopes it would help me, without knowing I had ulcers... I'm sure it would not have been a pleasant experience. If anyone is reading this and struggles with intestinal/digestive issues, please please please talk to a gastrointestinal doctor before trying something like this.
