Enemas and weight gain

New here, I've been experimenting with enemas lately and was wondering, if you do too many is it possible you could *gain* weight instead of lose? What might this be due to? I don't know if my electrolytes are out of balance but I've gained a couple numbers on the scale lately and this confuses me because I seem to have evacuated a lot, I'd say over a pound easily. Definitely not diet related. I'm sure I'm getting all the water out each time. Thanks!

I have been soing enemas for a long time . i dont gain or lose weight from enemas. need to xhexk weifhr oncw a week while you do your enemas

Enemas DO NOT affect your REAL body weight.

You may experience perturbations in your body mass due to water absorption and excretion but your actual body weight will not be affected.

Your real somatic body mass always averages out before, and after enemas.

Well, my body weight has been affected, so Im not sure how to respond to that...I mean, the scale clearly says it's gone up... as for the other comment, I can't really understand what you're saying

edit: I'm not saying they caused me to gain fat, I'm wondering what exactly is going on regarding water balance and enemas

It will go back down after you urinate the water your colon may have absorbed.

Er, it has been a week...I'm familiar with urination so I accounted for that...it has not gone down though. If you could perhaps read my edit that might clear up the misunderstanding

It is water weight unless you have been eating more.

There is nothing else it can be.

food in>>feces out, enema water in>>fecal enema water out.

Enemas will not cause you to gain weight.

The only differences in your weight will only be what in inside you colon.

Alright, well I guess it is water weight, I assumed it was...do you or anyone know the mechanism behind why this would occur? I believe my colon filled the absence of fecal matter space up with water which I guess weighs more, though I don't understand why it would do that. Perhaps this is a medical problem beyond the reach of this forum though. I do suffer from constipation which is why I began the enema usage. The only other thing I can think of is somehow it caued me to excrete potassium or retain sodium, or messed with some other hormone that regulates fluid balance. Anyway, this is highly frustrating. Thank you for your replies.

Weight loss is do to a calorie reduction. Be it dieting or calorie reduction or exercise or both. Enemas don’t reduce weight

It could be water retention although probably not related to enemas. Your doctor can give you a water pill which causes you to pee it out. If you use a little salt in the enema you won't retain water. Enemas will not make you gain weight.

Doesn't the body usually hold about 10 lbs of poop, all the time? I'm pretty sure that I weighed less after cleaning myself out for that colonoscopy recently. I don't know how much poop weighs, but I do know that water weighs, what is it, 8.3 lbs per gallon. I don't think enema's would help me to lose weight though, as much as I'd like for them to. I'm with the rest of you though. I wish I could lose weight in an easy way also.

NO it doesn't.

Not even close.

A few things...the calorie model is outdated for weight loss, I will not get into that... I know enemas don't traditionally cause weight gain but water balance in the body is a tricky thing... and I don't think the colon has the capacity for 10 pounds of poop...you would look pregnant. I'm wondering why salt would make you retain less water after an enema? It seems like it would be the opposite. I am not looking for an easy way to lose weight, I'm just confused as to the workings of my body.

Salt in the enema will draw water into the colon where it will be expelled and you will lose water weight, NOT fat weight.

I'm not sure why you emphasized fat, I believe I've made it clear I don't think removing waste thru enemas results in fat loss

See this thread. It may shed some light on the topic.

I didn't emphasize fat.

I emphasized that enemas would NOT do anything about fat and not specifically responding to your post.

Alright, I guess I misunderstood your emphasis then. I'll take a look.

The salt depletion can cause you to crave salty foods, which cause you to drink more water, and you may bloat up for a few hours, until you piss it away.

lasts 4-8 hours, then out it comes

No long term effect

Only temporarily. Once you expel the enema you will return to your normal weight.

Your body gains about 8.5 pounds every time you take a four quart enema. It stays with you for the ten or fifteen minutes that you retain the enema. That extra weight disappears when you make a mad dash for the bathroom and expel water and waste! You might not gain body weight from your enema, but you will gain an elevation of your spirit! Keep taking your enemas and feeling good and don't worry about it because an enema a day keeps the doctor away!

Excuse me for twisting the topic a bit, but enemas might contribute to weight loss if you used them to reward yourself for eating less or differently or for exercising more.

I think it's a stretch to give credit for a reward being responsible for changing a behavior. It is the motivation on the front end not the rewards. On the other hand, any reason for a good enema isn't all bad!
