Makes no sense to me
Yep, the colon is smooth with no villi and is lined with mucous and cells that fall away every couple days taking everything with it when they are shed

It's almost impossible for anything like "spackle" to get stuck to your colon walls. If something actually gets stuck there, it's probably time to see your Doctor.

That's not to say there aren't intestinal disorders and damage over time as we age such as ulcers and inflammatory infections, but for most people, the idea that you need to periodically go out of your way to clean out your own gut is bunk.
