Will Enemas Stop Diarrhea?

Without knowing the causes. I would be leery....diarrhea is a symptom of something wrong and can be very serious. Taking an enema may be a relief for the moment but will not cure the cause.

My mother all ways flushed out if got diarrhea definitely helped speed up getting rid what ever started it off

Growing up, my siblings and I received enemas for various reasons, among them diarrhea. Our grandmother was a retired RN and a firm believer in enemas for kids, teenagers, and adults. Some of the other reasons she gave us enemas were constipation, being moody, to help calm down, and a high fever.

When we came down with diarrhea, grandma gave us two large salt and baking soda rinse enemas. Worked every time without fail, stopping it in its tracks. Plus, on top of that, we felt a lot better afterwards, making an enema worth it. A practice we continued as preteens, once grandma taught us personal hygiene, and enemas were our responsibility.

A couple years ago I was working at a clinic and people started showing up with norovirus. We has projecto vomiting and diarea. I started with nausea and then diarea. I was sent home, almost didn't make it to the toilet. Once oi had a brea took a 2 quart enema or two, stopped the diarea. I di not have the vomiting. After I left, everybody had it, was a fire shelter in Chico, calif.

Will enemas stop diarrhea?

Depends on what is causing the diarrhea. If it's a stomach upset, it probably will get rid of the nasty stuff stored in the intestines, and it works for some viruses. So yes, in these cases it may help.

If it is caused by the body trying to expel an infection from anywhere in the body, it will do nothing to stop this sort of diarrhea, just hasten dehydration.

The digestive tract is a waste removal system the body uses to get rid of waste, not just from the stomach, but also from the bloodstream through the liver.

Urine may also look strange or feel hot when the bloodstream is using the kidneys to get rid of an infection from any place in the body.

If diarrhea goes on for more than a couple of days or does not look like normal diarrhea poop, you may have a severe problem going on.

Don't wait too long to get medical help. It could result in dehydration and shock. Literally shit yourself to death.

Though I have had no firsthand experience, I did hear my mother tell a friend of hers, on the phone, my father recommended enemas for diarrhea. I know both my parents took enemas for perceived health reasons. I suspected they took them for other reason, too

I have been fortunate to not have had diarrhea very often but I do remember one occasion when I think an enema helped me. I had a lunch at a buffet and within an hour I began experiencing nausea and stomach discomfort. I barely made it home before things were coming out of both ends. I figured the quicker I got the bad stuff out of me, the better, so I gave myself a soapy enema, twice. Coincidence maybe, but after the second enema the diarrhea stopped and I felt much better.

Even without actual diarrhea, if I have intestinal distress from something I have eaten I am quick to give myself an enema. I figure the quicker I can get the “bad shit” out, the better.

Well, gonna try again. I wrote an entire post & my internet went down. In my case, yes. A well given enema stops my diarrhea, but mine is a permanent issue, not temporary, and assuming my "diarrhea" is from my LAR Syndrome, which means you can have numerous bowel movements daily & they are both unpredictable and often liquid, in my case, I have several issues. I leak during an enema, my colon resection involved removal of my appendix & my ileocecal valve, & there's lots of explosive pressure when I "have to go." I actually like enemas, so no issue there, and I really like the completely empty feeling I get with a good enema. Those are all pluses. I enjoy receiving from a female (only!), so I'd be happy to get enemas from a woman, young or old. I like giving even more ( a subject for another post), but I do like to get them from a caring female. Solo is OK, though. However, my main problem right now is that I actually need them daily, but I leak so much (due to the surgeries) that it's difficult to do them. I have an inflatable Cleanstream nozzle, but it is pretty inefficient. I am going to try to find another type inflatable to stop the leaking, so hopefully I'll be able to solve this. Meantime, I would appreciate suggestions...

So, yes, a good thorough enema ends my diarrhea...

As preteens, when our RN grandmother taught us personal hygiene, that was one of the situations she talked about. Telling us, the quicker you can give yourself an enema, the better off you’ll be. Speaking for myself, it worked every I gave myself an enema for diarrhea or other intestinal issues.

To the topic: I don‘t think so. As a short relief to get some stuff out: Yes. But it doesn‘t cure the cause.
