Keto Diet & Enema

I’ve been on the Keto diet for about a month. I’ve lost weight steadily and I’m very happy with the results. I intend to continue until I reach my goal weight. The downside is the constipation. I don’t go for days and when I do, it’s close to impacted. I’ve had to push a hot enema in order to dislodge that baseball and when I do pass it, it hurts like hell. I’m sure I haven’t quite dialed in the fats and oil’s in this diet and I’ll work on that but in the meantime I’ve taken up an every other night enema regimen: I begin with a 2 qt. soda/salt enema and try to hold as long as possible. This is difficult. I follow it with 2 ½ qt. soap suds enema delivered through a 20” colon tube. Again, I hold as long as possible and this one takes forever to expel. Lots of lumps. The third enema is 2 qts of plain water with a flex nozzle. After this regimen, I feel great and ready for sleep. “Saving my sphincter”. Hope this helps some of you.

Yes, it helps a lot.

I like your every other day regimen. I do not recommend anyone strain to evacuate. A friend popped a blood vessel in his head twice doing that.

I have experienced curing hemorrhoid protrusions and clearing diverticulitis pockets with regular enema regimens. Also have a friend that got a bowel resection and now has an enema regimen to help prevent his problems. My personal regimen is every 3 to 4 days in the shower floor practicing a method that is not aimed at holding any certain amount, but more at letting any impaction up there get carried out in bits and pieces in a gentle flow.

Using a radial spray on the tip of a 9/16" OD 20 inch long silicon tube section, makes it easy to wash out some of the lower pockets.

I too have been doing Keto for several years, it works very well for me. In the morning at the first sign of being constipated I take an enema and try to increase my fiber intake. I found that if I eat a couple of fiber gummy’s before bed helps me with the constipation in the morning.
