The new 2nd Edition of Listen To Your Colon takes Jini Patel Thompson’s pioneering work on constipation and expands it with even more step-by-step, natural healing protocols.

This updated guide goes far beyond “fixing” constipation — it helps you heal it at the root. You’ll learn to restore your body’s natural bowel rhythm by addressing physical, emotional, and nutritional causes together.

Jini shows you how to retrain your intestines to move naturally again — without harsh laxatives or dependency — using safe, natural, time-tested methods that work gently with your body.

What You’ll Learn Inside:

  • The two distinct types of constipation (peristaltic and stenosis) — and how treatment differs for each.

  • How to use wild oregano oil and probiotics to rebalance your gut flora and support long-term healing.

  • Jini’s mind-body approach — how stress, trauma, and stored tension in your colon affect peristalsis (the muscular contraction of your intestines that moves stool along and out), and how to release them.

  • Detailed natural protocols for hemorrhoids, fissures, and spastic colon.

  • Colonic massage and castor oil pack techniques for faster, more comfortable bowel movements, and reduced bloating and pain.

  • Safe, effective use of magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C to stimulate the bowels naturally. Nature’s laxatives that nourish your body at the same time!

  • Gentle colon cleansing methods — including herbal and probiotic retention enemas — to clear toxicity without harsh purging.

  • Dietary guidance: which foods relieve or worsen constipation, the best fats and which type of fiber to use for colon health, and Jini’s “Maintenance Diet.”

  • New Quick-Action Treatment Plan for immediate relief when you need it most.

  • Expanded Children and Baby Constipation Protocols for parents seeking safe, natural solutions.

If you’ve been constipated for months — or even years — this book will help you finally understand why.

You’ll learn not only what to do for quick relief, but how to restore normal, healthy bowel function for life.

The 2nd Edition includes over a dozen new sub-sections, updated supplement recommendations, expanded emotional healing tools, and cross-referenced resources from Jini’s blog, podcasts, and her curated formulas.

Jini Patel Thompson is an internationally recognized expert on natural healing for gut disorders. After healing herself from widespread Crohn’s disease, she’s been 100% drug and surgery-free for over 25 years - helping thousands restore digestive health naturally through her books, courses, and protocols.

Feedback for Listen To Your Colon +

"I did the recommended treatment for the constipation as given in Listen To Your Colon and I have been going everyday since. I am very happy with the recommendations from the book and plan to do another probiotic retention enema when I get the rectum healed."
Laurinda K., Illinois
 
"As I had problems with constipation, my stools were often bloody. Then I ordered your book and started taking vitamin C, Omega-3 oil, MucosaHeal and probiotics. This book is full of useful information one can find nowhere else. I have to admit I did not expect such a complete healing program. I am really happy to be healthy again. What I find as most important is the fact that in case the symptoms reappear I know exactly what to do."
Maria N., South Carolina
 
"Eleven days after beginning I had my first ‘natural’ bowel movement in more than a year (I have been doing 1 litre warm water enemas for the last couple of years). I am very grateful to your book and will continue with the probiotics and the Magnesium/Potassium. Thank you for your help.
 Kerrie L., New South Wales
 
"Hi Jini and thank you for this amazing book!  It has really helped me. I did the oil of oregano for about a month along with the probiotics. After the 1st month things started to really improve for me and now I'm going everyday. I'm still taking the probiotics and probably will stay on them for at least another month or so.  Your book has been a big help.  Peace be with you and your family.  May you be truly blessed!
Lance C., Ontario

Table of Contents

Chapter 1 – Your Journey to Health

Learn how to use herbal supplements holistically as part of a long-term healing journey, addressing the root cause of a symptom rather than suppressing it. You’ll learn how to introduce supplements, and how to make sure your supplements meet the claims made on their label (up to 80% of them don’t). This chapter also offers valuable information on what to do if you’re not seeing the desired results.

Chapter 2 – Constipation Factors & Treatment

This chapter will help you determine the cause or causes of your constipation, and what type of constipation you suffer from (peristaltic or stenosis). Jini underlines the importance of identifying and reducing stress to treat constipation, and teaches you how to use the mind/body connection to communicate with your colon in order to “negotiate” changes in your bowel habits.

Chapter 3 – Spastic Colon Factors & Treatment

Spastic colon is when your colon suffers from random attacks of diarrhea, constipation and spasming. Learn to identify and heal the root causes of spastic colon through stress reduction, probiotics, soothing agents, and natural remedies like bentonite clay, psyllium seed (different from psyllium husk) and peppermint oil.

Chapter 4 – Dietary Guidelines

Jini explains the effect diet can have on your colon. She identifies which foods are known to cause or worsen constipation, which foods can alleviate it, and the two best dietary changes you can make to relieve constipation. She describes the importance and use of a food diary to discover how to customize your diet to your body’s tolerances.

Chapter 5 – Reasons to Avoid Pharmaceutical Drugs

Learn about the drugs most commonly prescribed to treat chronic constipation, and their possible side effects. Jini coaches you in how to look beyond your symptoms to learn what message your body is trying to send you. Understand why drug-based constipation treatments may cause more harm than help. Learn how to listen to your body’s “messages” and use your symptoms as guidance for healing.

Chapter 6 – Other Strategies & Resources

Quick, natural strategies to support bowel regularity, including chlorophyll, acupuncture, senna, dandelion etc. Includes Jini’s Quick-Action Treatment to help provide you with immediate relief from your constipation.
