Are marshmallows safe? What does it feel like?

I’ve heard marshmallows feel different from water/bananas/soapy enemas. What does it feel like to hold it and expel it? And is it safe. I’m not diabetic so, fine on that side. But in the sense, will all of it come out? I’m not hoping to use a lot, maximum 4 or 5 for the first time I think.

If all of it doesn’t come out would I have to give myself an enema again?

I’m hoping to leave it in the freezer to harden a bit and have it softened a bit in warm water for a few seconds. Any ideas or experiences would be great?

And any humiliating positions I could try?

@Liney, body heat will turn them into mush-mallows and they'll all come out.

On your knees is a good humiliating position. That's the 'giving it up' position from my perspective.

A yoga strap in a loop so you're laying on your back, each knee is through a side of the yoga strap and then you put the middle behind your neck to hold your legs up and open could be fun too. They also make "portable slings" that do the same thing slightly more comfortably but a lot more expensive.

Here are two archived topics discussing marshmallows @Liney .

The urban myth (something repeated often enough that people believe it): Inserting marshmallows in one's butt spikes blood sugar levels and is, thus, dangerous for diabetics to attempt.

Marshmallows are mostly sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and air. They "melt" at around 98° (F)/36° (C) primarily because the gelatin (which is the ingredient that gives the treat it's melts just a few degrees below that.

There are no studies I could find that claim, one way or the other, that taking a marshmallow enema raises blood glucose levels. But, who would expect to find evidence of such studies? It IS a rather esoteric issue - yes?

A typical serving (1 oz/28g) of marshmallows contains about 15 grams of sugar, an amount that definitely spikes my blood glucose level when taken orally and without eating something that can dilute the sugar.

There IS considerable information on the internet about whether or not sugar can pass from the colon into the bloodstream as it does in the small intestine. The overwhelming concensus is that if any sugar DOES pass, it will not be enough to affect blood glucose/sugar levels.

As a T2D (Type 2 Diabetic) I keep a close eye on what I ingest. Three large marshmallows (about one serving) taken anally and retained for 15 minutes did not raise my blood glucose level. Expulsion WAS a sticky mess that required additional cleaning.

Conclusion: Marshmallow enemas are no less safe for diabetics than any other type of enema.

Caveat: I am not a medical doctor, biochemist or associated in any way (except as a patient) with any medical profession. This post is my personal reasearch and experimentation. If you are diabetic and have concerns about this type of enema, don't do it.

I'd be careful also of expulsion, meaning marshmallows pooed out, possibly clogging ones toilet/septic line.

Also I do know that cherry tomatoes when expelled whole after being inserted came out our septic drain line whole, floating in the fluid. Beware just in case marshmallows do as well.

Oh, thanks for that.

Yes, they are made of sugar, but the type of sugar that is in them is also important. The body is not very good at absorbing disaccharides unless they are broken down by enzymes, so it is unlikely that much of the sucrose will be absorbed, though I haven't been able to find out how much sucrase or isomaltase is present and active in the human rectum/stool. The corn syrup does have some monosaccharides in it, glucose and fructose, but given that the sucrose/maltose component is minimally absorbable and much of the sugar mixture doesn't contact the rectal wall (and there's a lot of air in marshmallows) you probably aren't running too big of a risk.
