May have taken too much, help asap?

(Update: Went to emergency after throwing up fecal matter. Doc says I'm safe but will update after 24 hrs).

I was using my JBL Enema bag and the capacity of it is very high. I think I took in a bit over 4 litres, maybe 4.5 and relaxed on the bed to admire the work. However, a few minutes later, it was if the pain stopped and my belly felt very soft all over. I've never experienced something like this before, and I'm concerned I did some serious damage even though it didn't hurt. I think I'm back to my normal weight, but my belly looks more rounded at the top instead of the bottom. Is this common? Do I need to call someone?

The illeocecal valve opened and water flowed into the small its an interesting and pleasurable feeling if you fill the small completely and it reaches the stomach you will get a sudden urge to throw up…..theres no harm

There have been other discussion about enemas backing up through then illeocecal valve in to the small intestine and even to the stomach. There is bacteria in the colon that doesn't belong in the stomach or small intestine - that's why you have that valve. Bypassing the valve can cause you to throw up fecal material as well. Personally (not a doctor) - I don't think it's a good idea. You might consider seeing a doctor.

Update: Shortly after posting, I ended up going into emergency. I threw up what I'm sure was fecal matter, but I did do a couple small cleanouts beforehand so it wasn't completely contaminated. No blood, no pain, but it's exactly what was described here, the water flowed through my entire digestive system. Doctor says there's not really anything to worry about, it shouldn't cause sepsis or anything like that and just to keep an eye on my nausea levels and come back if it doesn't improve. I don't feel as bad today, still a bit nauseated when I eat but hardly any pain or anything. I'll keep posted on this thread each day to keep people in the loop.

Glad you're safe and glad you're Canadian.

I think using a JBL bag with that much fluid is a bad idea. It’s like forcing fluid into your intestines with a shower nozzle rather than letting gravity do the work.

JMHO

Smart move heading for ER. Even a professional medical caregiver should seek independent medical opinion/help when the unexpected happens.

Glad you're safe.

I have taken as much as 8 quarts of warm, salty water in a single filling and I know that the water has flowed well past the ileocecal valve and into my small intestines…. I find the feeling of the water pressure building up along the lower right part of my abdomen quite interesting. It never hurts. The feeling keeps getting more and more intense until there is a release and my abdomen relaxes. At the same time I get this funny feeling throughout my abdomen. Sort of like butterflies floating around. After a few minutes of this intense erotic feeling I feel totally relaxed! I do not get nauseated at all! Only loved.

Glad to hear you are doing OK.

I personally would not want to take in such a large volume of an enema solution that it backs up into my small intestine. Our bodies have evolved to prevent such an occurrence from happening as explained by others describing the purpose of the illeocecal valve. I would fear the bacteria from the colon could do harm if allowed to flow back into the small intestine and stomach. I would interpret throwing up as your body's way saying something is wrong and it's trying to protect itself.

I for one know that enemas can be very erotic and pleasurable, but I always want to play within the boundaries of what my body can tolerate and not be adversely affected. So I think it is best to know your body's limits and not cross that line. You can still induce extreme pleasure by playing safely.

Apologies for the late reply, the whole event was triggering some serious anxiety so I had to back off. I'm pretty sure I'm back to normal now, but still nervous about any potential long term damage. Hope that's just being paranoid is all, as I don't think there's anything wrong with my bowels.

@Another_Canadian_Guy,

In your first post about your 4+ quart JBL enema, you mentioned you laid on your bed afterward and the pain stopped just before you think the water entered your small bowel. I’m glad you seem to be okay now, but had you taken a 4 quart or more enema before this incident by JBL or regular bag and hose? Did it cause pain? Why were you taking enough JBL enema to cause you pain? Thank you,

I +usually only take rectum fills and maybe a few bigger ones but only up to 2 litres except for one day that I thought that I would see IF I could take more. My ‘can’ holds 2 litres and I was surprised just how easily that 2 litres flowed into me so I added another 2 litres to the can and let that flow in to me. Bloody lovely. Again I was surprised just how easily the 2nd can flowed in to me but I was starting to feel nausious and I decided to stop at the 4 litres. My belly was nicely stretched and as I was a 7lb baby I was imagining Mum's belly must have been about the same size. I certainly loved the feeling but I don't think that I will do it again. regards, irrigator333.

@irrigator333,

You just reminded me of myself and one particular unique enema I gave myself. I‘m 70 and enjoyed taking about 2.5 quarts from age 15 to my early 60’s when I found Zity. After reading Zity a year I had always loved distention and fulllness, so I gradually trained myself up to 4 quarts. Now I usually do 4-4.5 quarts and love the pressure inside and distention outside. However one day I was using a 2.5 qt bag and after taking the full 2.5 qts I got up and refillled it and started again intending to take about another 1.5 qts up to 4. However, it felt so good that I unintentionally fell asleep on my back. When I awoke, I had taken the whole bag, now flat. I was amazed I’d taken 5 quarts with no problem, no cramps, no pain and slept right through it! I held it for about 15 minutes and really enjoyed the pressure and distention when I got up. Even with my latex DBC inflated inside, I wasn’t sure I could orgasm without leaking so I got up and emptied on the commode first and orgasmed afterward. A really delightful afternoon, but I don’t have plans to repeat it since I enjoy 4-4.5 quarts so much. One day I might try it again. Thanks for reminding me.

He said he thinks he took “ 4 -4.5 liters ” that's like 2-2.5 qts + 4 - 5 oz, even if the bag is 4 qts, so seems it was a standard size infusion at the point of his experience. But maybe he had more in him than he realized, but either way, l don't think anything over 2 quarts, ( maybe 3 max once in a while is okay ) is a good idea, isn't it, the over stretching of the intestines that could lead to the pockets / pouches of diverticulosis ?

@Kab I think you've got some units mixed up here - 1 US quart is about 0.95 litre.

So 4 - 4.5 litre would be around 4.22 - 4.86 quart

I have taken multiple (at least a dozen) 4 litre enemas in the past.

What had happened was I was taking multiple enemas, and I must not have emptied out completely from the previous one. I just felt super confident about taking the rest of the bag and wanted to see if I could do it, and I think I took most but decided to lay down. It wasn't very painful, the usual cramps, but nothing sharp. It was about 5-10 minutes after laying down that it emptied out into my small intestine, because the pressure went gone and there was no more cramping.

As for why, I absolutely love the big belly look I get from large enemas, and I figured I could handle it this time around.

My understanding was that on this forum there was medical text that said most people can hold at least 4, some up to 5 and maybe a bit extra. I cannot verify the source of course but my understanding is if the standard bag is built to hold 4 litres then it should be able to be taken all in one go, right?

(Of course there was some still left in me so this doesn't apply, I just mean a one and done enema).

Greetings everyone - I've seen this thread a few times and just had to comment based on my personal experiences.

I've been doing a weekend enema series for 20+ years now, almost every weekend without fail, both me and my partner Barb.

If you look at some of my previous posts you will find the details but they typically finish on Sunday morning with a final fill of green tea or chamomile tea of 4qts taken slowly with a colon tube. I'm a large gal of 6'1 @ 170 - even with 4 qts inside I don't look all that bloated and I tremendously enjoy the feeling. To this thread: I have on occasion ventured beyond 4 qts, at about 5 qts if I practice burping and abdominal massage I can force liquid into the small intestine and eventually vomit tea. Keep in mind I've been completely cleaned out at this point - the tea has a slightly yellowish tinge to it which is liver bile.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE - it is not at all comfortable. A little more background: when I was in my mid 40's I was friends with some other wives that practiced bulimia for weight reduction - it did not take me long to figure out that this was not for me - on a slightly positive note I did learn how to easily regurgitate stomach contents. So with a belly full of green tea I can easily regurgitate some if I so choose - again - PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS.

To end on a positive note I totally enjoy a 4 qt enema after being completely cleaned out.

It's only my personal experience and so just and just anecdotal but I have been taking 5+ quart enemas almost daily for thirty plus years without problems, confirmed by my recent colonoscopy which reported I was clear of all such issues. I fill very slowly and change positions several times. I vary the water temperature from cool to about 108f from session to session and occasionally add Aloe Vera or Epsom salts for a change. I love the feeling of the water weight and the slow, progressive expansion as it seeps farther up into my colon.

I hope you will recover well.

Let us some news, see you my friend.
