Enema dependency

I've read that if an individual overused enemas, they would be dependent on enemas and won't be able to go naturally. My question is, has that ever happened to anyone or you knew of someone that happened to?

You will have to reflect upon the meaning of 'dependency', for there will exist a lot of people with chronic constipation being obliged to do something to relieve this one: oral laxatives, laxative suppositories, enemas. So they will think about the fact, which form will cause the minor risks. From mine's point of view there will exist only two possibilities: enemas on the one hand and castor oil on the other, for this one will not work directly in the intestines by irritating them, but indirectly by activating or synthesizing certain substances in the human body, so any habituation or any weakening effects by taking castor oil in a regular manner will be impossible, this comparable to enemas.

I am one of the few members who is completely dependent on hot, soapsuds enemas to make my bowels move. My Mom had me dependent as a teenager. I couldn’t go to the bathroom without enemas and she was aware of that. She had to give me very large and strong enemas frequently. My dependency got better after I left home at 20, although pretty much all of my life I’ve been a klismo and had occasional enemas. However….since about 60 years old, it takes a strong laxative or a strong enema to evacuate my bowels. And I HATE laxatives! I have had 5 colonoscopies since I was 59 years old and there is nothing structurally wrong, except my colon is a little larger than average and a there is a significant narrowing between the sigmoid and transverse colon. Also, no matter how much I drink water, my colon doesn’t absorb the proper amount to not be constipated.

So it takes BOTH a lot of water and soap irritation to make my colon contract and expel both gas and feces.

No its totaly not true..... thats the old you will shoot your eye out crap!

Might give some opinions on the question @rahmi .

I am one of the few members (perhaps the only one) who is completely physically and emotionally, dependent on soapy enemas to make my bowels move.

No, you are not the only member taking regularly soapy enemas to make your bowels move. I am taking slight soapy enemas in a regular manner too, this with one difference: At least once, better twice or thrice the week I shall take instead of this 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach not only to cleanse the instestines completely but further to cleanse the body from all the toxins deposed there via the liver.

I have a medical dependency since childhood. I literally can't have a solid bm without a bum full of soapy warm water or a hand full of jelly rockets.

woe is me

Sissie Sioux,

What will be more suitable for you: a bum full of soapy warm water or a hand full of jelly rockets? In any case the first variant will be cheaper.

I am mentally dependent on enemas. If I go more than a day or two without one, I start planning when I will have the opportunity to do it. I don't think I am physically dependent because there have been times when visiting relatives or on vacation where I have not had one for a few days and it seems that after 2 days or so I have to go normally. And depending on what I eat, sometimes if I have an enema in the evening, I feel the need for a regular BM in the morning. For me, it is all in the head.

I think I am both mentally as well as physically dependent on enemas. I love the way the water feels as it flows into my rectum and intestines 😊

Thank you! I got a lot more info out of this as well. My question mainly was for those who used enemas daily and have not had a proper bowel movement since. Just wanted to know if what medical reviews say is true, but at what level of severity. If a person were to use enemas daily and stopped for a period of time, would they be able to still go naturally with no problems or would it be difficult now that your gut can't excrete the mucus necessary to pass a regular BM. So in a sense would you have to be dependent on an enema just to get your bowels going cause now it would be difficult to do so. I can understand if you're mentally hooked on it. Since it can be addictive if you enjoy it, but for those who just use it for personal reasons, what is the outcome now after repeatedly using enemas either daily or even those who take multiple enemas in a day. That was mainly my question. I'm sorry if I wasn't specific, I have a hard time being specific and I probably still wasn't, but I hope I got my thought process across.

I have used enemas daily for years .. back in December, I had prostate surgery and did not take an enema for several weeks. I ate and ate.. and didn’t have a bowel movement for about a week. I had gas and bloating, just no movement. Then, I got a cramp and went into the bathroom and sat down on the John. I had a normal bowel movement and boy did I fill up the pot. After that I had normal bowel movements for about a month. After which, I was back to my old self and my enema habit began again. You may ask me why I went back to taking enemas. Well, the answer is simple. I like the way enemas feel as my rectum and intestines fill with warm and cold water..

I prefer suppositories but I will never turn down an enema

It's bull, as they say - I took soapy enemas every night for many days straight, and once I stopped it was no problem becoming regular again. My enema dependency all took place between my ears; no place else...

So, you put the nozzle in your nose to flush out your beaner? 😄

Just guessing that more people are hooked as you are versus physical dependence on enemas.

I think many enemas affects people different ways at different times. I have had times that there is no effect when stopping for awhile (well other than missing the erotic part of enemas). There are sometimes I tend to get backed up from a regular every day trip to the bathroom for a No. 2 movement. It will work itself out usually within a couple of days but I do not like the stuffed up feeling until it does nor the extra effort and time in the bathroom when it does. I try to take an enema the same as when I grew up...every Wednesday and Saturday plus an occasional bonus ones!! Denise

Everything that people do, no matter what form, has its origin between the ears. 😎

This distinguishes us from the animal, which is guided by instincts.

Agree, but a lot of what originates between the ears is driven by instinct. We humans are part of the animal phylo (kingdom) as well.

@Rigel: So, you put the nozzle in your nose to flush out your beaner? 😄

Considering all the writing mistakes I make - that might help 😄

correct; only, people can weigh up, think, look for alternatives, etc.

Which of course does not protect us from unreasonableness. An animal wants to survive, nothing more or less. It does not destroy its environment and eludes its foundations...

But these are topics that do not necessarily belong here...

btw.... does anyone know of a self enema monkey...🤔

I have been enema, and colonic, dependent for the last fifteen years. This means I can always schedule my bowel movement, usually first thing in the morning, am always clean and never ever have to use a toilet away from home. I really can't see the downside of this. I once asked my lovely retired RN neighbour if this dependency was a problem. She just smiled and reminded me that many people irrigated every day.

There are no peer reviewed medical/scientific studies to support the urban myth (told so often people actually believe it) that too-frequent enema usage leads to enema dependency.

I will be happy to change my tune if link(s) to such studies are posted.

This will be the optimal attitude to this subject.

@Aquarius btw.... does anyone know of a self enema monkey...🤔

When I don't shave my body; I look rather ape-like 😜

Why put a name on it ?

What do you mean?

You need to always make sure you have several consecutive days of normal movements without any enemas or laxatives.

Weaning from enemas is hell! Don't start.

In the case that you will have to live with an extremely long large intestines or you have decided to eat exclusively a vegetarian or vegan nutrition with a lot of fiber you will be obliged to realize regularly an effective bowel cleansing. You will have only to pay attention that this one will not injure your gut.

If you are constipated and/or ill, my naturopath will recommend that you take an enema or have someone with experience in giving enemas help you. However, she strongly recommends against relying on enemas to eliminate because the colon CAN become lazy and “dependent on the stimulation in order to function.”

She says be sensible, eat well, hydrate, exercise, get a handle on your stress, and unless you have legitimate digestive issues, your colon normally does not need to be flushed out continuously.

She’s not naïve, she knows that enemas can have deep, sensual impact. Once in a while, she smiles, take an enema and have a satisfying orgasm. It’s OK, we’re sexual beings, but don’t overdo it and abuse your body. Doctor said that in one of our group sessions, talk about an icebreaker!! Did she really tell us this? Yep!

Absolutely. Enemas can be wonderful when you need them, but they can also be too much of a good thing.
