Maltitol in an Enema?

Would it have the same effect as when eaten? I read somewhere that it does most of what it does in the large intestines, so it would make sense that it would do things no matter what side it comes in from.

Malicious a sugar alcohol the same as sorbitol and lactulose , it can’t be metabolized by the body so any ingested is dumped into the bowel , your gut bacteria attempt to break it down thus creating gas acid and laxative action . Adding these to enema has only one known use lowering your blood ammonia levels . Take 300 ML mix it with 700 ML water , give as retention enema . If you want the laxative effect you have to swallow it . I am on prescription regimen of Mirilax /Lactulose 1 hour before each meal . It produces a very soft large movement within 90 min to 2 hours . If my aide doesn’t know I filled my diaper , she can just change me at 2 1/2,hours because it’s exceedingly rare for laxation not to have settled the issue in my diaper . Basically the longer it’s in your system the more laxative it builds , you can go voluntary or involuntary it doesn’t care but you will go.

I have not tried maltitol, but since it is fermented by the gut flora I would expect it to have similar effects in an enema to other sugars, i.e. gas, cramping, and water drawn into the colon.
