How long does it take you to returm to a normal BM?

You need a diet high in fiber. But remember there are two kinds of fiber. I saw a Good Eats show with Alton Brown where he demonstrated the differences.

There are the water soluble fibers. They can rush through your digestive tract more like a rinse. Then are the slower ones (I forget exactly what they are called.) They slowly trudge through your digestive tract acting more like a scouring pad, really cleaning things up. You need both kinds.

I am not a vegetarian but I eat very little meat. I rarely finish more than half a whopper jr.! I never order frys. (Well, hardly ever!)

I eat a lot of beans and complex carbohydrates. I try to eat my veggies anf fruits raw if posslble. Otherwise just quickly cooked to crisp tender.

Well, I love certain comfor foods and pot-roast with carrots, onions, celery, potatos, parsnips and a collection of herbs and spices cooked long and slow. Yum! Mac and cheese is another weakness to be occasionally indulged. I also like my mom's meatloaf, slathered with catsup before baking, with pan juices, mashed potatos and peas.

But on the whole, I try to eat right. And fiber is an important ingredient.

I have a bowel movment usally the next day and this is after a series of four to five enemas or a colonic.

Call me strange, but its true. 😃

I gave myself a colonic yesterday and really got cleaned out, but the next morning I have had two large bowel movements. I have noted in the past that for a couple days following a colonic or enema my bowel movements are much larger that usual. If my wife does an enema or colonic she won't have a bowel movement for several days following.

Do any of our fellow enemates have the same reaction?

Following a good cleanout, typically a series of three or four 2 Qt. enemas, I will not move my bowels for two to four days.

Generally a day or so.

A couple of days for me.

My mom always said I was a poop camel - lol. for as long as I can remember, my "unassisted" bowel movements were usually two to four days apart - possibly as many as five. obviously there were exceptions - but for the most part - pooped every 2 or 3 days. This may explain why I had early familiarity with bulb enemas.

I just recently started exploring high enemas as fetish/erotic so I don't have a good feel for what my turn around time will be - as I've not been able to resist plugging in and filling up - other than yesterday and tonight.

Despite nightly enemas, they all have returned a pretty good amount of solid matter on the first 2 qt bag and random debris on the second. I'm not a big eater and I guess I just have a slow digestive track. I've tried all manner of fiber and other dietary methods but they never seem to have much affect on my cycle.

I'm guessing if I stay off the nozzle until another BM, I'll have already consumed my Thanksgiving Turkey.

Hi, yesterday evening i gave myself an enema as i had got bunged up, i simply stood at the bathroom sink with my higginsons syringe and pumped in about ten or so pumps of warmish soapy water, that was enough to do the job...then just sit and out shot most of the water right away, followed by the lumps of poop, next morning i pooped normally, probably cos the water didnt go too deep into me as i was stood up.

One day for most enemas. Two to 2-1/2 for a full cleanout.

One day most of the time.

I go back to normal the next day, I have at least one BM or more a day.

Usually the next day, but it depends on how much I eat

What's a "normal" BM? I think I had one once. I think it was in 1966....or 7. --not sure.

The following day depending on my diet, but never more then two days for a perfect movement

Define "normal" please? What is normal for one person may be abnormal for another person. Sometimes I can have a regular BM that same day after taking an enema, other times it might be a day or two later, it just depends.

Next day!!!

This is a hard question to answer. People's enemas vary in how far up the colon they clean. Some of the bacteria that does the digestion may be partly washed away with the enema which will take time to build back up. Very deep cleansing enemas will take longer to get back to a normal rhythm.

Soooo, for me it does vary somewhat but I usually do not have much of a BM the next day- maybe none. The second day I will have a regular or somewhat smaller BM. The third day after is usually a normal day where the BM is normal and I may have two BMs. That is why I space my enemas about a week apart so my system can fully recover and be totally ready the next enema. I don't want to have to rely enemas to have BM- instead I want my system to be independent because there are times I don't have the opportunity to do enemas.

My enemas are very deep and cleansing and from experience I can tell when the cleaning reaches the end of my colon. If you are doing an enema that just clears your rectum and lower colon, then your system may bounce back and be normal the next day.

Watch and listen to your body and you will begin to notice patterns and its rhythm. If you want to do enemas and still be able to have independent BMs then play it by ear and adjust the spacing until you hit the right rhythm. I know its hard to not do them when you find them pleasurable as I do.

Two to three days depending on volume of enema and subsequent diet

Usually the next day, depending on the number and size of the enemas. Sometimes it can take a couple of days. Never more than two.

Generally, I'm back to "normal" within a day after a series of enemas. Yesterday, I enjoyed a nice series consisting of three 4 quart enemas. This morning, I headed for the bathroom at my normal time. Unless I take my enemas late in the day (which I try to avoid), I'm right on schedule the next morning!

Have fun and play safe!
