Large Volume Enemas

The most i can take is 4 quarts. I can never last more than that. If I had a dominatrix that would coax me to take more then maybe I could do more. I never can seem to break the barrier. A few times I because nauseous. I wonder if it was moving to my small intestines

Have to agree with Sunshower bags. Lots of fills, you can mark them so you know about how much you have taken. I like to fill my Sunshower bag with as hot as I can stand and then fill, expell, refill, expell. That way I get lots of filling and the temp decreases as time goes on. Then another filling of the Sunshower bag with hot water for one big final filling with water.

What are the largest quantities used on a regular basis? I can get almost 3 and 1/2 quarts.Is there a way to increase capacity? Any help would be appreciated-thanks.

I believe that all you need to do is relax a bit and with more practice you will be able to get 4 quarts, but remember the most important part, if you feel pain, stop right now. I used to take 4 quarts, then got to 5 quarts, later I managed to get to 6 quarts regularly, but now 4 to 5 quarts is what I usually get. On occasion I can get 6 quarts, and I really want to get more, but for some strange reason, I have not managed to get beyond 6 quarts.

I am sure it may be possible to get to 4 quarts, but listen to your body, pain means you should stop.

As mother used to say, nothing cleanses the colon better than a good high enema. When I was young, that meant about 2 quarts delivered in mom's feminine syringe. Today, it's a little less than 4 quarts. Key is to take a smaller enema first to get rid of the solids, then find a nice, quiet place, put on some soft music, hang the bag about 12 inches about the hips, get completely naked, have a friend slip a warm douche nozzle into your rectum, and let the enema flow slowly into your bowels. Stop the flow every now and then to avoid cramps, and in about 8 to 10 minutes, you will notice your abdomen has swelled considerably. The feeling after releasing is absolutely wonderful!

I have done as much as 6qts on very rare occasions. More often around 4qts when I try for quantity and most often 2qts held for 15 minutes.

I have to respond to the statement made by 123egile, "The intestines will be stretched more and more and your capacity will be bigger, without pain, from year to year." That is completely wrong. Your colon DOES NOT stretch, it is not a balloon! Normal colon capacity is 6 to 7 quarts. Ocaasionaly people have colons with an extra loop or two so they can take more. YOU CANNOT STRECTCH YOUR COLON AND INCREASE ITS CAPACITY!!!!!

TO: guzzleguzzleguy and others:

RE: "I guess that's the ileocecal valve opening to the small intestine.

A guy on another enema site claims that is impossible. But I have taken soapy enemas (or salty enemas) to the point where I can taste the soap (or salt.) Since it only went in the back end, how can I taste it in the front end unless it came all the way through?"

Even if it were possible to force the ileocecal valve open (not likely in a healthy person), the water would have to travel the entire length of the small intestine which is 20 to 24 feet long. It would then have to have enough pressure to force the pyloric valve open at the juncture of the stomach and small intestine. At that point you MIGHT get the water to travel up your esophagus far enough to taste the soap and salt.

This whole fallacy seems to have a life of its own as it propagates from forum to forum dating back as far as the mid 80's, when some guy used to claim he gave his girlfriend large volume enemas until she reached six quarts at which time she began vomiting it out as he continued filling her. It was inane then and it is still so today.

You all need to do some research before making statements like these, or the fallacious statement I responded to in my previous post.

I don't care how much fluid you inject into the bowel, you DO NOT want to have any of this solution pass into the ilium, (small intestine.) The small intestine is not able to protect you from the assault of bacteria from the bowel. You would get a very nasty infection, and one that would be difficult to treat. Serious, (read "assuming ambient temperature"), results could easily occur.

I don't think anyone would tolerate the level of pressure which would be required to force liquid back through the ileocecal valve into the small intestine but I never put anything past "nutters" who don't give a hoot about pain or safety.

I love the feeling of a large volume enema. I can't hold one long, but I do enjoy the feeling and if I am going to masturbate this is when I will do it. This makes for a really intense orgasm.

Hi!

I did today my first enema... I weigh myself before and after: +3,1 kg (6,8 lbs).

I measured my waist before and after enema: 30,1 inches before ; 32,4 inches after.

Have a nice day.

In response to Aquaman, you are correct, the colon does not stretch. The feeling of increasing capacity comes from the training of the mesentary muscles to relax, allowing more filling without discomfort.

Remember to ALWAYS use an isotonic salt solution for long term retention enemas, no matter what the volume. I use a tablespoon of salt in the gallon enemas that are my favorite.

The salt is important....does anyone else "taste" the salt?

I only take soapsuds enemas,NEVER salt,and retain them at least 10 min.I always go for 'till clear',and never have a problem.....only have 1 kidney,and high blood pressure, and am afraid of salt.....

I also believe water bottom is wrong..the colon is a muscle,and always streaches....

This is the internet.

You have to take "medical information" with a grain of salt.

There is a lot of incorrect and non-applicable information here.

I agree with switchable susie about the medical info on the web, a lot of it is garbage. The pharmasutical industry has overtaken the doctors brains with statistics and bribes.

Repeated use of large enemas DOES permanently distend to colon!!

That DOES mean that you need a larger enema to produce the same effect.

I do 4 quarts all the time and love the feeling of fullness it bring,once in awhile I can do 5 quarts....thats the most I've ever done

I did not state my response accurately enough. The colon will expand like the folds of an accordian, and with repeated large enemas, will relax and be able to accept more water, but when the folds (hystra) are completely unfolded, you are at max capacity. I started out being able to only take a quart to a quart and a half, but worked my way up to a bit under five. While receiving a barium enema, the intestine was completely filled, and with a bit less than five quarts, the x-rays showed a complete distention, and I was told that any more barium would probably lead to a ruptured colon or a prolapsed ileo-cecal valve.

4 quarts have become a standard for me. Sometimes I can get to 5 qts. (if on an empty stomach. It seem to really arouse me.

I regularly give 3 quart enemas as they seem to give more of a complete clean...I've never managed to give or receive more than 3.5 quarts though

I can just about do 3qts. I would like tobe a patient that had to be given large volume enemas up to 4qts. I really love to full feeling and then the great expulsion. I seem to be able to take the larger enemas when they are done slowly with cold water and a colon tube. My grandmother did give me some large volume enemas with ice cold water turning the clamp on and off when it was to uncomfotable and she did them verey slowly.

I've gotten back into enemas in the last few years. When I started, I could take 3 quarts with some discomfort. Now, I can't quite get to 3 quarts, but I really like to see that last bit of soapsuds drain from the bag. Generally, I take a series of enemas once a week starting with one or two soapsuds, and then a rinse.

I'd like to hear some suggestions for increasing the volume of the enema. Is it training? Is it the recipe? Or the pressure?

I am fortunate to have a 1940's vintage 3+ quart enema. Most of the time I can take all of it- filled completely to the brim and overflowing over the sides- which is about 3.6 quarts or just shy of 4 quarts. Big hot soapy enemas always make my tummy hurt but that's just how it is....

I don't care how much fluid you inject into the bowel, you DO NOT want to have any of this solution pass into the ilium, (small intestine.) The small intestine is not able to protect you from the assault of bacteria from the bowel. You would get a very nasty infection, and one that would be difficult to treat"

I have to respond to the post by Stephen S. I have Crohn's disease & in the summer of 2011 I had surgery that resulted in the loss of the last 3 feet of small bowel, cecum, appendix, ileocecal valve and 1 foot of ascending colon. Over the years, my colonoscopy prep has been about 48 - 52 hours of clear fluids,

1/2 the normal dose of MiraLax, Fleet Phospho Soda (till they took it off the market) or Movi Prep about 12 hours after I started clear fluids. During that time, I drink several cups of strong tea. My GI tract has ZERO tolerance to caffeine and that works almost as well as the oral laxative to clear the small bowel.

When that's done, it's enema time! I'll usually do 3 or 4 series of 2-3 enemas each, starting at 2 quarts and try to empty my 4 qt Sherema bag (Pictured in my avatar) on my last enema the morning of the procedure. I've only managed this 3 or 4 times.

Earlier this month, I had my first post-op colonoscopy (this was #37). During an office visit, prior to the procedure, I brought up the subject of the prep. Many years ago I told him about my use of enemas as part of the prep and he had no problem with it. He often mentioned my colon was unusually clean and I guess that made his job easier. I breathed a sigh of relief when he said ok, but stressed LOW PRESSURE, start with smaller enemas & work my way up and stop if you feel pain.

All were done in the Sims position (Even though I enjoy knee-chest), so the fluid would fill the descending , then transverse colon. The last enema on the morning of the procedure was a half cup shy of three quarts. I'm sure some fluid made it into the small bowel. There were NO ill effects, NO nasty infections. With the exception of the low pressure flow of chyme from the small bowel to the colon, what prevents the migration of intestinal flora in someone with no ileocecal valve?

YMMV, consult your MD about your use of large volume enemas. Be safe!

The one change I did notice was that evacuation took a good deal longer than I was used to. I guess peristalsis is more efficient when the ileocecal valve provides a barrier at the far end of the colon. I'm just THRILLED I can still have fun with my red bag! Colonoscopy results were minor inflamation at the anastomosis and biopsy results were CLEAN!!

Hi vapor. A person who has experienced an extrensive, drastic surgery such as yours is not the typical reader here. Your GI tract is not in any sence "normal." You must follow the advice of your practitioner. No general discussion of the use of enemas can possibly cover cases like yours.

I suggest to you that after your surgery your entire bowel is colonized with colonic bacteria and that you do not present a "normal" situation to most raders.

I stand by my earliler posts. For the "normal" person, injecting fluid from the bowel into the illium would present a great risk of infection.

I just love the final part of a large volume enema - when the pressure and fullness feeling are at their maximum. Last time I took 6 quarts, I tried for 7 and I was kneeling on the floor with the water container about 3 feet above the end of the enema tube. I must have been in that positiion for at least 5 minutes while I tried to push my belly out more and take the last quart of water into me, and the sensation of pressure inside was spectacular, but I just couldn't take the last quart. I did think about raising the water container higher to increase the pressure of the water so it was more likely to flow into me, but I decided against it. Maybe next time....Then I was able to hold the 6 quarts for about 10 minutes while I took pics of my distended belly, you can see the result in my album. I think that was the most sensuous enema experience ever.

Usually I use a nozel attached to the shower hose so it is hard to determine amount of water used but I would say it is just over a gallon. Using my 2 quart bag I will fill it twice but once forced myself to take 4 bags! That is 2 gallons! I wasn't able to get the entire 4th bag in though. I would not recommend trying to fill yourself that full though, it is very uncomfortable and you might start to feel dizzy or nauseous.

I have taken up to 4qts before...but you need to clean out a few times....relax and give yourself an enema every 1/2hr...slowly increasing the amount of water

Has anyone found either hot or cold water best when tryiing to take a large volume enema? I have been trying to get past three quarts but have to stop. Also will plain water, no additives, help increase the volume capacity?
