Return to normal after large enemas..

I see so many of you taking very large volume enemas 3+ or more quarts, often more than one in the same session. May I ask, following those multiple large enemas, how long does it take for your next “normal” bowel movement to occur?

Up to 4 days.

From the Mayo Clinic:

“Digestion time varies among individuals and between men and women. After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food. It takes about 36 hours for food to move through the entire colon. All in all, the whole process — from the time you swallow food to the time it leaves your body as feces — takes about two to five days, depending on the individual.”

I’m back to normal within twenty four to thirty six hours after a couple of 2 or 2 ½ quart enemas. Thats been my normal routine after taking a couple of enemas for over fifty years.

I wonder how many take more than one 3 qt Enema a week if takes 3=4 days to get back to normal. Seems like many need more than one session per week. Am I right?

“… return to normal…” means to me someone is pooing soft and formed without any meds, like laxatives or stool softeners, or other aids such as suppositories or enemas, large or small.

For this to happen, there has to be enough poo in you large bowel to, at least, fill it partly full. If there's no poo in there, you won't go. And that's what a big enema does… it petty much completely empties you colon of all poo, from your rectum all the way to your cecum.

The time to ‘refill’ you colon with poo depends partly on what you eat. If you eat a low fiber diet it might take four days or more. (That's what the Apollo era astronauts did. No toilets in the spacecraft so they had to poo in plastic bags in zero g, hence tried not to). But if you eat a very high fiber diet, like a couple of bowls of All Bran, several times a day, you'll be full of poo and ready to go much more quickly.

For me, after having a closed system colonic, preceded by a 1500ml bag enema with a bit of soap (a pretty thorough cleanout), and eating normally after the session, I usually don't poo until the morning of the third or fourth day after the session.

I usually don't take more than two quarts at a time, so I'm not into “large” enemas unless I'm really backed up. Missing one day is typical, sometimes two days if the enema gets high enough (head down, butt up) to reach the transverse and beyond. Afterwards, I'm careful to push juices and/or other cleanses from the top-down that get my system working again.

For me with a normal 2 quart usually 24-36 hours. On the unusual occasions I do 3 quarts usually 2 full days .

For me, it takes 2 days. I try to have large volume enemas in the morning, after I've had a normal bowel movement

While I usually restrict my intake to 2 qts, I often take multiple fills and get a pretty clear return. As others indicate, much depends on my food intake as to how soon I'm having a “regular” BM. In most cases, I am back to “regular” within 12-18 hours.

I was very well cleaned out the other day, but then had lasagna and garlic bread with some peach cobbler for dessert. I undoubtedly over ate. By late morning the following day, I was on the terlet and had the longest turd (15-16 inches) I've pushed out in years. I didn't feel particularly full, but certainly the urge was there.

I recall reading somewhere that the most desired BM's are formed, but soft, and anywhere in the 12 inch range. Some advocate that the ideal process is food in, and BM shortly thereafter. I usually need at least 12 hours before the urge is there.

I suspect that our infatuation with enemas is more about those extra benefits, with BM's a byproduct, but much less of a concern.

It typically takes me about two days, though it can be as little as one.

I'll take 2-3 enemas on a weekend, all 2qts. The next morning, I'll still have a BM. Been like that all my life, just good metabolism I guess.

Me and my partner Barb have been doing a weekend enema series for over 20 years, we start by eating light on Friday sometimes take a couple of enemas late in the evening along with a laxative (2 to 3 qts). Saturday is a juice-fast day - nothing solid. Saturday morning it's usually a 3qt SSE using OHN's goats milk soap, followed by a 4qt rinse at least an hour later. Saturday evening is typically sex time - usually a few more enemas sometimes with some special friends. Sunday morning it's a 4qt green tea enema taken slowly with a colon tube - sometimes chamomile instead of green tea. BTW - you easily shed 5 lbs doing this. Cocktails are taken through-out this procedure.

To the topic of this thread: normal BM's start Tuesday evening.

When I do a series of 2 - 3 3qt enemas it will take me 3 days before i go if i eat my normal junk food of pizza and Sonic burgers!

It takes around 2-3 days before I have normal bowel movements again.

As far as feeling “normal” again, if it's just enemas, no laxatives, 8-12 hours after the last round to start to feel “Normal” again.

If it's a full cleanse it's 24 hours of liquid diet, 1 or 2 hours of enemas. up to an hour to actually TAKE the first round of laxatives, then anywhere from 4-12 hours to take the second round of laxatives, and 6-12 hours more before all that laxative clears the system depending on which system is used.

in that case it takes a 3rd day to feel “normal” again.

I will never be back to normal that’s why I’m here

I would have to say 2-3 days back to normal after an enema playday.

I haven't been doing enemas until recently. As I recall, it may take up to a couple of days for me.

I normally return to having my regular morning bowel movement on the second day following almost any enema experience, the day following my enemas is completely void of even the urge to go.

Typically three days, occasionally two, occasionally four.
