Amount of a high enema of tap water being absorbed by the human body

It is well known that a part of the volume of a high enema, holding this one for example for five minutes, will be absorbed through the wall of the large intestine by the human body. For me it has been interesting to measure this part exactly.

After having cleansed my bowels completely by taking a good dose castor oil - for this measurement the large intestine ought to be completely cleansed - I have measured my body weight - in this case this has been 62,0 kilograms. Afterwards I have taken a high enema of 3 litres tap water very slowly and have hold this one for 5 minutes - 30 minutes later the expelling has been finished - now my body weight has been 62,3 kilograms. So 300 grams of the tap water of this enema have been absorbed by my body - this corresponds to 1/10 of the volume of this high enema.

Have you ever done such a sort of a measurement too?

I know that high volume enemas make me pee a lot if I use only plain water.

Taking a high volume enema of tap water and holding this one for some minutes will activate your kidney.

I have weighed myself before and after enemas. I will use a saline enema (baking soda and tap water) solution in a 2-quart enema.

The results for me are usually a weight gain after expelling the enema. It can be as much as 1 pound. But even though I feel like I have completely expelled the enema I can't be sure it all came out.

So, is the additional weight gain from the enema solution that was not expelled and not necessarily what was absorbed through my colon wall? Keep in mind, I am clearing my colon of solid waste which should reduce my overall weight but that doesn't seem to leave me with a net loss in overall weight.

So several factors to consider and it's difficult to know exactly how much water is being absorbed into my colon after an enema.

to (1): It will not be sufficient to clear your colon of solid waste for you will have to calculate that through the Bauhin's flap always will arrive additional material from the small intestine in the large intestine. So for a precise measurement it will be absolutely necessary to cleanse your intestines completely.

to (2): Regarding this fact, why should it be difficult to know exactly how much water is being absorbed into a colon after an enema?
