Phospho-Soda Enema Recipe

Anyone notice the recent pulling of some enema products off the shelf due to recall? It was a Fleets Phosphosoda thing I thing~ (I'm probably the last one to notice this~)

Hi all,

Apparently at higher dosages it can cause kidney damage. Read more here at these 3 selected sites:

Note: With anything you should consult your physician.

There is a lot of concern with the ingredients of Phospho-Soda and some people's health. Depending on your health situation, the stuff may not be for you. Your doctor will prescribe alternate laxatives if your health would not tolerate the high concentrations of the ingredients.

You can add a bottle of over the counter oral phospho to a plain water enema, and all you have done is make a weak version of a standard fleets disposable enema. Sometime take a look at the ingredients in a box of the phospho-soda (and the amount) and then look at the active ingredients in a fleets. You get more phospho (19 grams) in a single fleets enema then in an oral dosage (2.4 grams) at about 1/4 the cost

Does anyone ever tried this recipe?

Phospho-Soda is a laxative that includes Monobasic Sodium Phosphate and Dibasic Sodium Phosphate.

It's method of action is to increase the retention of water in the intestine, thereby promoting bowel movement.

Recipe:

Mix 1.5 fl. oz (45 ml) of Phospho-Soda with 2 quarts of water.

I don't know what is "Phospho-Soda" and I would like to try...

Thanks a lot.

I think this product was removed from drug store shelves about a year ago due to a few people having kidney issues with it-- it was by far, in my opinion --the best colonoscopy prep available.

Just buy the fleet enema. It has the same amount of chemicals as in the phospho soda prep. Dilute it into the 2 quarts just as you describe. It will be the same.
