@ericmacson Everyone is different, as I said, some people get no cramping from air in enema. As for your experience with oxygenated colonics, I think the lack of cramping could be due to how colonics work.
If I am not mistaken, no personal experience, so please forgive if I am completely wrong, during that procedure water is delivered to colon and quickly removed. That makes is very different from enema, where you are filled with water from 'bottom up' and water stays in your system until you begin to expel it. If air is added, it keeps moving around causing local changes in pressure. And another factor here is how much air is added and how often.
@gauguin,
Those few oxygen colonics were the only times I ever knew or felt a gas like O2 or air introduced into my colon. Every colonic I’ve ever had was both voluntary on my part as well as recreational, as well as very enjoyable, so I remember them very well. Your description
……during that procedure water is delivered to colon and quickly removed. That makes is very different from enema, where you are filled with water from 'bottom up' and water stays in your system until you begin to expel it.
of a colonic is very different than mine, which is just like your second sentence describing what you call an enema. Every one of my colonics was a wide but fairly short (~3-5”) open pipe inserted only that far into my rectum, with all the colonic water going in and then later out through that same pipe, so very low in my LGI tract. O2 gas went in and out the same way, down very low. Correct me if I read or understand you poorly, but your above description of a colonic sounds more like a continuous flow through a very deeply/highly placed colon tube, which I’ve never had. In my colonics, the fill felt wonderful but fairly slow with me retaining the entire very large feeling water load until she released her valve and let me empty. I liked them so much that I often asked if they could fill me as much as they were permitted and let me hold it a long time before she emptied me. As to my reaction or non-reaction to gas in my colon, 1) it was about 40 years ago, and I can’t explain my personal lack of gas-induced cramps then, and 2) I have no way to know how I would react now at age >70, several decades later. Just my 2¢ worth. Thanks for your posts.
