Bisacodyl added to large enema

I tried a version of the clayton enema, 25mg. of bisacodyl, 15 cc of castile soap, 2.2 qt. water. at least with me, the soap kicks in before the bisacodyl, very hard to hold for 10 minutes. i have settled on 30 mg. bisacodyl in tap water, but retaining for at least 15 minutes, that seems to be enough to feel the effects of the bisacodyl. i will increase the dose little by little in the future.

I had a Clayton enema( which is really a soapsuds//bicacodyl enenma) as a part of the prep for a colonoscopy and Barium enema. It was preceded the night before by a dose of "X-Prep" which is a senna product. That pretty much emptied by bowels eight hours later. In spite of that, I was given the enema. It was administered slowly with me on my left side. The balloon catheter was not really necessary but it was OK. The nozzle was left in place until I was over the commode. There was some fecal material in the expulsion, but not that much. The balloon used for he barium enema an hour later was MUCH larger. I could feel it filling my rectum. Since the barium solution was introduced in what seemed like thirty seconds, it was a good thing the balloon was in place.

I've had good luck putting the bisacodyl tablets in a container with a teaspoon or so of Bronner's peppermint castile and a pinch of baking soda. After a day or so they're completely broken down and the bisacodyl is much more available to the colon then when I've tried crushing or soaking in hot water for a few minutes.

I keep a couple of containers ready to go at all times. You might be able to use water, but I'm not sure exactly what the filler material is in the tablets and if it will grow mold/bacteria.

So far I've done 20-30 mg in 2-2.5 quarts. It usually starts to kick in after about 7 minutes, and if I hold to 10-15 results are good. I didn't get nearly as good a return with the crushing or hot-water method.

When I do a system cleanout

I usually take 6 bisacodyl tablets about 2 hours before the Epsom Salt and soapsuds enema

While I have no doubt that that will work, putting the same 20-30 mg of bisacodyl up your butt via an enema (or suppositories followed by an enema) is faster, effective, and a bit more fun. You don't need to wait 2-8 hours for things to start, and they're over more rapidly after they start.

Wondering - since bisacodyl acts on the large intestine, would there be any advantage to oral administration versus rectal administration in a 1.5-3 quart enema if you were interested in doing a "full clean-out"? Seems that as long as the bisacodyl reaches the entire colon it would be just as effective.

Note: "full clean-outs" generally aren't necessary unless your colon will be hosting visitors.

In taking bisacodyl rectally you will have the chance to have problems exclusively in your colon.

In taking bisacodyl orally you will have the chance to have problems not only in your colon but in your stomach too.

The method of moliere works great , l use a cup of water, tbsp of broners, add the number of bisacodyl tabs. Shake over the next 24 hours. A warning, the bisacodyl is very powerful with this prep, 30 mg. was very uncomfortable, never that much again. The soap seems to break the tabs apart.

Forgot to mention the baking soda, just a small amount, that takes the coating off. The powdered bisacodyl that results is very fine, large surface area, that's the reason it is so powerful.

Yes, it is significantly more potent. I was going to spring for the Magic Bullets before I figured this way out. I've tried the quick dissolve in hot water + baking soda, a couple of hourse dissolve in water + baking soda with a touch of soap, and grinding in a mortar and pestle and my colon just shrugged them off (of the three the couple hour dissolve gave the best performance). The 24-hour+ soak really gets the bisacodyl out and ready for action!

I started off with the pinch of soda as well, but I found that at least with Wal-Mart generic bisacodyl tablets a squirt of liquid Bronner's peppermint will go through the coating just fine. I don't even add any extra water (I don't want anything to start growing if I wind up keeping the mix around for a couple of weeks). Add some water, shake it up, pour in a bag wit water to make your desired enema volume, and prepare to be moved.

I experimented with melting a couple of bisacodyl suppositories in hot water but I really didn't notice that much effect. I much prefer to take 4 bisacodyl tablets, a couple of hours before the enema and pop in a bisacodyl (Magic Bullet) suppository prior to doing the wash and rinse. If you want to get clean, I figure you have to hit it from both ends.

Although things can get a bit exciting with the aftershocks, so a diaper is a good idea. I've never had a major event but I have had a few leaks while making the 20ft journey to the bathroom...

Just my thoughts

I experimented with melting a couple of bisacodyl suppositories in hot water but I really didn't notice that much effect.

Two thoughts: If they were the oil suppos that are the most common in the US then they would tend to float up to the surface and not be injected. Even if you saponify them the oil will tend to want to float up.

Second is wait time. If you take a large enema with bisacodyl you'll get the "enema urge" first, and if you have soap in it that will kick in pretty fast as well. About 7-10 minutes in the bisacodyl will start working, and from there things just keep getting more exciting.

I once tried slipping in two Dulcolax-type oil bisacodyl suppositories and waiting until I started to get an urge, at about 25 minutes (my colon is slow with suppositories). Then I ran in a 2 quart hot and soapy enema and things started to go fast.

I have little luck with oil based bisacodyl supps, don't seem to work for me. I think the bronner soap method is the way to go. You can buy 1000 tabs for $10.00, so cheap source of bisacodyl, just be careful,

One nice thing about bisacodyl (as far as I know), and of most enema additives in general (at least for soap, glycerin, M&M, Mayo type stuff) - You can get a lot in and still have it not be dangerous. You might think you are going to die, you might think that dying is not such a bad thing for a while, but you won't die and you probably won't cause lasting or significant damage until you get really high. Look at Susie's Rough Ride recipe - 60mg bisacodyl and 1/2 cup of soap in 2 quarts of water.

You forgot the 16 ounces of glycerine and two ounces of peppermint extract!

Yep. I figured that glycerine was probably safe enough that you could take a gallon straight if you were a real masochist.

What does the mint extract do pharmacologically?

Some people say the mint helps calm the stomach, hence its presence in gelusil, tums and other antacids. In this enema it also gives a little bit of a burn.

Peppermint oil was added to barium enemas to help prevent colonic spasm. I don't think it was a common practice.

Bisacodyl tablets are cheap, small and easy to crush in a pill crusher. Added to a 2 liter warm water they work very well to make you go. For added effect, you may use soapy water. I crush 10 to 12 tabs and take it deep with a colon tube, insert an anal vibrator and wait for the effect. Wow.

I added a dissolved Magic Bullet bisacodyl suppository to a large volume enema yesterday morning and had an amazing and thorough cleanout. I had not had any kind of bowel movement in 7 days and was miserable. Because of a busy schedule, it was not possible to use bisacodyl tablets, and my colon was way too clogged for a bisacodyl suppository to be of much benefit. A plaint tap water enema was also not going to be effective given how backed up I was. I wasn't even sure that soapsuds would work.

In the past, I had tried dissolving bisacodyl tablets in a baking soda solution and grinding up the resulting powder. I had some moderate success with that approach, but the bisacodyl was not as effective as soapsuds. Yesterday, I dissolved a water soluble Magic Bullet suppository in about 8 ounces of very hot water. It took about 20 minutes to completely melt. I added that mixture to about 1.6 liters of warm tap water in a disposable enema bag. I assumed the Sims position on the shower floor with the bag suspended about 4-5 feet above me. I wanted to make sure that I had adequate pressure to push the enema solution deep into my colon. As the flow started, I could feel the solution burning slightly. It took about 4 minutes to complete the enema and, by that time, I was starting to feel dull, rhythmic cramping in my lower abdomen. After a couple of more minutes, the cramps were truly intense - even worse than what I get from a Dulcolax suppository. My belly was as hard as a rock during the contractions. Very soon, I realized that I had to get to the toilet or end up expelling all over the shower floor.

The evacuation was epic. The hard cramps continued as I involuntarily pushed out the enema and the contents of my impacted colon. I was starting to get nauseated and light-headed. The expulsions were not really relieving the cramps, which just kept coming for about 30 minutes. I was starting to worry that I might not make it to work at all. Finally, the enema ran its course, and I realized that I felt much better even though I was spent. Surprisingly, I did not have to return to the bathroom at all yesterday, except once to pass a lot of mucous that was generated by the chemical assault on the lining of my colon. All in all, this is probably the most intense and effective enema that I have had other than the dreaded M&M.

Yesterday, I dissolved a water soluble Magic Bullet suppository in about 8 ounces of very hot water. It took about 20 minutes to completely melt.

Put the magic bullet in a cup of hot water and heat in the microwave. It will melt in about three minutes.

A few years back, a playmate with a bit of a sadistic streak gave me 6 Dulcolax suppositories, waited for them to melt and plugged me. In 30 minutes, The cramping was terrific. I lost my fight to hold it at 36 minutes, and had dry heaves of the ass for about 2-3 hours. I finally got them stopped by taking two SSE's and a plain rinse. That first SSE REALLY wanted out!

I've tried putting 20mg bisacodyl in a Fleet bottle with some soap. Squirt it in then mix up your big enema. By the time I got the nozzle in and the clamp open the bisacodyl was starting to work. That enema cleaned me out well, but the rinse was hard to get in.

CVS use to sell fleet biaacodyl enemas. VERY effective. You can get them online. I once used 2 of those with a 2 quart enema on top of it. Not as bad as susie’s Rough ride?, but close

I use the Fleet bisacodyl enemas fairly often for constipation relief. They work much faster than bisacodyl suppositories and produce somewhat better results. They are a bit expensive to empty into an enema bag full of water.I regret that they can only be sourced online now. I do try to have a few on hand at all times.

Dulcolax suppos followed by a three quart soapy enema does the trick

Try mine... 2 or 4 (or more) tablets, squirt of Dr. B's peppermint, let sit for a couple days (no water). The tabs will come apart.

Before use fill with water and agitate.

Another trick I haven't tried yet is using Mirilax. Small saturated solution. PEG is supposed to dissolve Bisacodyl, then top up with water before use. You can also use Magic Bullets which is the same idea (PEG base). Either would be cheaper than the Fleet enemas.

The BEST way to add bisacodyl to a large volume enema is through the use of the Fleet Bisacodyl mini-enema

Three ways you can do it

1) unscrew the top and imply add it to the bag

2) my preferred way, take the bisacodyl mini-enema about 15 min before you start the main enema20

3) Take a bisacodyl suppository about 20 minutes before starting the enema

You may want to cut the oral bisacodyl down to 20 mg if you elect to do that

Bisacodyl suppositories will melt in very hot water. I melt them in boiling water and then add the boiling water to my soapsuds solution. IT WORKS VERY WELL.

I have experimented with the amounts of bisacodyl and castille soap in a 2 quart enema. In my body, 1 tbls soap and anything more than 20 mg. bisacodyl retained for 10 minutes gives very bad cramps and a irritable colon for more than a day. I have settled on 15 mg. and 1 tbls soap in 2 quarts of water. I can't imagine the very rough ride enema that Suzie developed, the soap and bisacodyl alone would be horrendous.

Trw428, Try using Bisacodyl in tap water. You won't get the long after irritation. When I go for my next colonoscopy, I'm going to take a 2 qt tap water with 20 mg of Bisacodyl in the morning before I go in. Soap is a "no-no" cause it leaves a false positive for early ulcerative colitis. One of our medical professionals told me that just using Bisacodyl is ok..
