Total Clean-out Preps

For total clean out early in the morning take 2 enemas about 3 quarts each (with salt and baking soda. Two hours later take all I can hold, 3 quarts +. That cleans me out.

For a "total clean out" you need to start from the top with some laxatives to get everything moving through. You can then "rinse" the lower end and have that "refreshed feeling"

I generally use PEG solutions or picoprep early in the morning, than i take 2 or 3 salt 3 qt enema 😃

Yes men do not talk about being cleaned out or baned or it not what men do. Have had wife that do belive in keeping bowels cleaned out a numbers of times a yearor in flushing the galblater & liver . Having had that done or just coming home on friday afternoon walking in the house have the wife had you something yo drink toled this weekend is your clean out time knowing as soon as I started to drink that it was her mix of lots of milk od Mag. she always started with a two times amout the bottle said. Then supper would a some type of food that was a bulk type follow by A big dish of prunds cook with lots of juse with that too I knw that by 7PM I be on the toilet most of the time before bed . Most time she give me 3 enemas beore bed . to help the milk of mag. out . but before bed she always give more oral laxative, sometime pills sometime more milk of mag., or something new she fond at the drug store to try on me . well the morning was always the same enemas untill clear returnes. she always give me something to eat but an hour later more oral laxative . and saturday was mose of the day was sitting on the toilet . but the late afternoon she let me rest but she always put a diaper on me . That night before bed more milk of mag. the two time the amount she alway said this is your oral enema it was always like an enema most water . Well the outer day she said friday afternoon whe you come home I have a new laxative for you it XPrep . yu ony drink 2 1/2 oz two hours after of when the cramps start I give your oral enema you know milk of mag. with hot water so it works fast for tou with the XPrep ypu have Cramp from the XPerp then the milk of Mag with give you lots of waterly bowels befroe bed then your enema before you go to sleep . then in the morning eemas I see what I give in he morning , Well yes I do not Talk about her making me move my bowels but as much as part of all the times she done me yes i drop 5 or more in weight but do feel better but one thing necer change I do move my bowell a lot also have a sore rear hole but in houres fell great. so outer men can talk about what mother did to us as kids & wife took over like mine did but love to keep my bowels working mpre then just likw my normal bowels movenment .

I don't recommend doing that on a weekly basis. I try to do it 3-4 times per year. Now as a mother of 3 year old twins and my husband having changed jobs, so for 6 weeks I was the only income, it has been hard more like twice in 2014, and 3 times in 2015

Have my first complete cleanout of 2016 tentatively scheduled for Presidents day,

I have posted my total system cleanout procedure several times

Things to remember:

The stomach releases part of it's content into the small intestine about every 20 minutes and the small intestine releases into the large intestine about as often. Usually NOT in sync with each other.

Essentially you want to clear the stomach by fasting, the small intestine with laxatives and the large intestine with enemas.

You want my procedure I'll post it again for you, but it's in the archive files if you search thm.

Yes Lisa,

Please post your procedure again. I really would love to give it a try.

OK, this is probably close to 10 years old.

I do a few things differently now.

I now use only the one bag. 3qt size instead of 2 bags. and just re-fill without rinsing between.

this also mentions Phoso-Soda which is no longer available Magnesium Citrate is now the only option

How do I do a total System Cleanout?

How Often? I only do a system cleanout 3 or occasionally 4 times a year. Recently, I have gone as long as 7 months without a total cleanout. I would say that the number of enemas I was taking probably peaked a couple of years ago.

As for total system cleanouts, I plan them in advance. I clear the schedule for as many hours as I can, from the late afternoon of the day before the cleanout to the early morning of the day after. That way I can take as long as it takes and I don't have to worry about a schedule. I use my use-or-lose personal days at work to get the time!

As for the sequence, yes, there is a sequence and for a total system cleanout it is this:

I try to prepare the jugs of soapsuds at least a couple of days in advance.

I eat a light lunch the day before, usually I try to eat low-fiber food, and not too much of it for lunch. About half what I normally eat. For dinner, liquids only, no dairy products, or alcohol.

No snacking. I am a strict non-smoker, and I try to avoid second-hand smoke where I can.

Morning of enema: I start by waking up anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour early. I quickly shower, throw some cloths on and walk the dog. As soon as the dog is satisfied, I go into the kitchen and get the Pyrex 1 cup measuring cup, and the measuring spoons. I carry them into the bathroom. Then I get into the linen closet and get out some extra towels, including a big beach towel. I cover all of the important pieces in the bedroom with towels, in case anything splatters from the hanging enema bag. I then also put out two washcloths, one on the night table beside the bed, and another on the bed. I adjust the pillows so that the thicker of the two is just forward of the middle, and the lower, just forward of it. I place a beach towel over the bed, in case there are any dribbles, from the bag or from the rectum. I used to use 2 older drug store style 2qt bags, but lately, I have been using one of those, and one 3qt davol-style bag, with a hose made of surgical tubing, and a flaired applicator. I started using that after I purchased a 4-qt Great White open-top. I set the 4-qt open-top aside for now. I then get out the containers of soapsuds, and the Epsom Salt, and set them on the vanity in the bathroom. I then set up the pre-enema. I wash my hands thoroughly here. There are several approaches I can take. The preferred method is a Fleet Bysacodyl Enema, 4 Dulcolax tablets on the washcloth, and one glyceryn suppository. I place a tube of KY Jelly on the night table as well, within easy arm's reach. If I don't have the Fleet Bysacodyl Enema, then I place a local drug store's house brand Bysacodyl Suppository on the washcloth next to the glycerin suppository. An alternative is 2 Dulcolax tablets and a second Bysacodyl Suppository I get a stadium cup full of water, use that water to take 4 Dulcolax tablets, and drink as much of the rest of the water as I can

I have a digital clock on my night table, and I verify that it is positioned so that I can see it from the knee-chest position without my glasses.

I then take off my shoes, at least, usually strip to my underwear. Go back into the bathroom, and get on the scale. I use the weight I'm at at that moment to measure the Epsom Salt. I then measure out the correct dose of Epsom Salt, and use a funnel to get it into the 3-qt bag. I measure it out a second time and put that in the two-quart bag. I then get the air out of the hoses. For the hose that fits the 2qt bag, this is done by simply turning the faucet on slow, holding the end that the applicator fits on over the toilet, and the end that goes in the bag under the running faucet. When the flow is constant, I close the valve. The 3qt bag is harder. I have to fill a stadium cup, put the end in the cup, suck until I feel water in my mouth, and close the valve. I spit out that water. Then I take one of the jugs of soapy water, shake it up good, and pour some in each bag. I alternate between the two bags, so that the thickness of the soap should be about the same for each bag. I do that until both bags look about half full. Unfortunately, the only faucets I have where the bag can hang free are the bathtub and the kitchen sink. I kneel down by the bathtub holding one of the bags. I let the water run until it is as hot as it gets. Since there are no children here, I have the water heater set very hot. I fill the bag with hot water until it is just slightly over the threads for the hose. I attach the hose, trying to introduce as little air as possible. I do the same thing with the second bag. I take the 3-qt bag into the bedroom, and place it on the bed. I go get the 2 qt bag and place it on the chair in the corner. I get the stepstool and place it at the foot of the bed. I then remove my panties and put on a knee-length dorm shirt. Most of the time, I leave my bra on .I usually wear a simple cross-over. I save the underwire for the office, and evening. I then take the 3qt bag by the hook, climb up the stepstool, and hang it from the swage hook I put in the ceiling when I moved in. I go in the bathroom and pee.. I consider this the "point of no return" when there is no changing the sequence of the procedure. I then kneel down beside the bed. I spread my legs, and insert the glycerin suppository as high into my rectum as I can using only my finger. Often, I get poop on my finger, and I use the washcloth to wipe it off. If I have the Bysacodyl Enema, I shake it gently per the instructions.

If I am using the Bisacodyl Suppository, I stand up, put the flared applicator on the 3qt bag, and place it on another washcloth on the bed. Then, after about 5 minutes, I kneel down again, and insert the Bisacodyl Suppository. One reason I prefer the Bisacodyl Enema is that it is a liquid. Bisacodyl only works when it makes contact with the walls of the rectum, so the proper way to take a Bisacodyl Suppository is to turn it sideways, or push it over to one side, so that it touches the wall of the rectum. When you are self-administering, this is not easy! I make sure to wait 10 minutes or so for that suppository to start to dissolve. I usually get a slight burning to the rectum, nothing severe, and most of the time so mild I would ignore it any other time.

If I have the Bisacodyl Enema, I get on the bed; get into the knee-chest position with my knees on one pillow, my chest on the other, and my head on the fitted sheet over the mattress. I then insert the Bisacodyl Enema, and squeeze until it is totally flat. I quickly remove it, and just drop it on the floor beside the bed. I then take the nozzle from the 3qt enema, and I slowly insert it into my rectum. I make sure I have it pointed at the navel. Placing the other hand on the navel is sometimes necessary to make sure of this. Since it is the flared type applicator, slipping out is usually not a problem. I also make sure I have it inserted all the way. I get my other hand away from my tummy, and find a comfortable position for it. I take a few moments to relax as much as I can. Sometimes, one or two deep breaths can help. I note the time on the clock, I place my hand on the valve. I take a deep breath. Then I breathe in, open the valve, and breathe out. It usually takes a few seconds for that last air bubble to get to the bag and to get the fluid flowing. I can feel the fluid filling me, but it's not usually painful. When it is, the pain is slight and does not last long. The flow, with my bowel still full of poop, is about a quart per minute. After three minutes I look up and check if the bag is completely flat. Usually it is, if not, I wait until it is. I then close the valve, but leave the applicator in me. For the next 15 minutes, I'm on what I call the "Roller Coaster" I get these urges to evacuate every few minutes. Some are so intense I have to do some deep breathing, and/or kick my feet up and down a little in order to retain it any longer. Another thing that helps is to keep an old washcloth in easy reach that I can bite down on if the going gets too rough. There always comes a time, after about 15 minutes where the urge is so strong, I just have to run to the toilet. If possible, I try to unhook the empty enema bag and take it with me, but sometimes I have to leave it behind. When I sit down on the toilet, and remove the applicator, I just relax, and let it do what it's going to do. What it usually does is hit me with a large, watery, chunk-filled movement right away. This happens very fast. When it stops, I often feel some nausea, but I have not vomited since I've been on my own. I have the empty trashcan at the ready just in case!

Over the next 20 minutes or so, I get a series of loose, increasingly watery movements, often with little warning. I try to stay on the toilet the whole time since things are so unpredictable. Once I stop having movements, I get up, re-fill the 3qt bag with soapsuds only, no more Epsom Salt, in the same way as before. I then carry it into the bedroom. I get the 2qt bag I filled earlier, and hang it over the bed. I place the 3qt bag on the chair where the 2qt bag had been. I then just lie on the bed and do nothing for at least 20 minutes or so, often much more. It is typically about an hour after the first enema began that I get back into position, but always at least 15 minutes after any movements. During this time I sometimes feel an urge to evacuate. If I do, I head for the toilet, and try to push gently and pass anything that is ready to come out. I try to drink as much water as I can stand and I don't hold back if my body wants to pee, as it often does. Sooo sometime at least 45 minutes, and often as much as two hours after the first enema, I get into position, and take the second enema, in the same manor as the first, only without any additional suppositories, or additional Bysacodyl. I have the KY Jelly at the ready in case the insertion is difficult. I often need a dab on the applicator itself, because my mucous membrane is now completely gone. Since this is the drug store style straight applicator, the KY jelly has to go on the applicator, and not too much of it, or it will slip out!

The second enema is the worst of the series. It ALWAYS has a difficult time going in, and the Roller Coaster is speeding often before it's all in. Sometimes, I even need to stop it for a minute, catch my breath (literally) and resume. I never make fifteen minutes on the second enema. If I get it to 7 minutes I'm happy, If I get it to 10, I consider that a complete success. There have been situations in which I took it too soon, or was too nervous when I took it, and I didn't retain. I had to expel and start over. I've learned to control my emotions now and that hasn't happened lately.

The second enema usually comes out all at once, but it ALWAYS comes out brown. I again lol around for a while after the second enema. I monitor myself for light-headedness, or feeling like I'm going to pass out. I can avoid fainting if I try, but I often have to work at it. I wait until I feel OK before attempting the third enema. That is usually an hour to an hour and a half, but it can be more, or less. Remember, the third enema is 3qt soapsuds only. The Third enema is usually the easiest. I have gotten a clear return on the third enema, but normally I don't It usually takes one or two more 3qt soapsuds enemas to get to a clear return. I've had it take more than that. If I don't get a clear return after about the 5th or 6th enema, I always consider taking the Phoso-Soda at that point. Certainly, if I have gotten to the 7th enema, and not gotten a clear return (That's happened about once, and I confess, I rushed the prep!) I go ahead with the Phoso-Soda at that point.

Once at a clear return, I then get out the 4qt bag, fill it with soapsuds and hot water so that the mixture is warm. I use the Simms Position with my butt elevated a little by a pillow. I use the 5-inch long "barium" applicator, which is essentially a 19th century douche applicator with the last 1/8th of an inch cut off. I insert it all the way. Again it is important to relax, and take a couple of deep breaths. I breathe in, open the valve, and breathe out, just as I do for any other enema. There is some pain, and occasionally a little leakage around the applicator. I usually get the whole 4qt enema in, however. I leave the valve open, even after it's all in, and make sure to hold my position. I'm tall for a woman, 5'11. I get it all in and my belly is distended like being about 4 or 5 months pregnant. It usually does not stay in long, typically about 6 or 7 minutes is it, I keep a dishpan ready in case I vomit. That has happened once, when I was a little too determined to hold it. When I can't possibly hold it any more, and I'm getting a little nausea, I get up, unhook the bag, and hold it above my head as I walk fast to the bathroom. I place the bag in the bathtub with the open end close to the drain, but not so close that anything can run out without my seeing it. I relax and let it flow. It comes out yellow, often with small scraps of undigested food. When that flow stops I remove the applicator and sit on the toilet. I usually pass two or three more movements, with each one getting progressively less yellow than the one before. Usually, the last movement is just clear soapsuds.

I have learned the hard way to kneel in front of the toilet when you drink Phoso-Soda or Magnesium Citrate, This is because the "ginger lemon" flavored version of the stuff tastes so bad, you can throw it up immediately, with no warning. I try to use the unflavored if I can get it, because it is very salty tasting, but nothing I can't deal with. That said, I still kneel in front of the toilet, with a large cup of water in one hand and the Phos-Soda, just out of the fridge in the other. I take it slow. A sip of Phoso-Soda, and a sip of water, then wait for the gag reflex. Keep it in if you can! I usually can, but no guarantees. It usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get 90ml down. After I get the last of it down, I wait a minute, and drink as much of the water as I can. If I vomit, I wait two hours after I last vomited and take a bottle of Magnesium Citrate. So far, I've vomited exactly twice in quite a few years of doing it this way, but I always stay prepared.

Every case where I have vomited has been trying to use the "pleasant ginger lemon" flavor of the Phoso-Soda. I have NEVER vomited the unflavored!

I go lie on the bed for at least 45 minutes. Then the Bowel Movements start up again. They usually run yellow, and smelling more like vomit than poop.

That's the end of the procedure, I drink some Gatoraide, I get dressed after I feel good enough. I stay near the house for the next 6-8 hours, and I wait at least 2-3 hours before I eat anything. I can have another movement any time with little warning for the next 12 hours, and when it comes on, it has to come out quickly, so I can't wait too long to get to a toilet. I've stained the panties a time or two walking the dog 3 or 4 hours later. I have found that I can eat a little bit after about 3 hours, but it's better to wait 4 if I can since if I wait less, what I eat usually comes out undigested 45-90 minutes after I eat it!!

I will occasionally just feel bad in the digestive tract and take a single soapsuds enema to feel better. Last time I did that was back in the fall

My cleanout has been for a next day colonoscopy - a gallon of Golytely mixed with water taken by mouth.

Thank you LisaK for reposting and updating your recipe for a total clean out. You are a true asset to everyone at Zity and a true klismophile. Reading your post is absolutely enjoyable, as it is so well written and descriptive. Some day, I hope to have the time to prepare and enjoy the experience you describe.

LisaK

You write upon the total clean-out: "I don't recommend doing that on a weekly basis." - I think this will depend of the manner in which way this one will be realized. Here in Europe I know from several persons that will take at least once the week a good dose castor oil, this in order to cleanse the human body from all toxins and heavy metals (especially mercury) via the liver.

The citrate in Magnesium citrate is healthier than the sulfate in Epsom salts. I have seen Mag citrate only in small bottles at the store. Another form is called,magnesium nitrate, which is being sold as flakes coming from the Netherlands. They are saying a build up of sulfur from the sulfate can become toxic. I know that I can get a drawn out sensation after too much Epsom salt in my happy solution. So I am presently using 3 Table spoons Backing soda and 2 Table spoons Epsom salts per gallon of filtered and cooked water, made at least the day before and warmed when needed to not more than 105F. A little more is OK, But 110F is almost too much. I may qualify this belief by saying that, when growing cultured milk, the culture starts dying off past 110F.

I've had to drink it. It produces the goods, so to speak, and I was rather sore for a day or two afterwards!

I have used it as a primer for a colonoscopy to get the cleansing flow started in a big way. YMMV but for me about an hour and half after drinking I have to be present in the room with the porcelain throne -or- be doubled diapered. The rapid expulsion could be classed as "Vesuvius" unleashed. MC does a pretty good job of cleansing the bowels but does need a follow up of the liter to a gallon of the final solution before the colonoscopy. As for the taste it is sort of like a salty 7-up or Mountain Dew drink not as sweet. Remember to rehydrate the system as soon as possible after the colon check or the fun and games. Can be a very amusing punishment especially for those that don't know of the side effects of what they are drinking. What's happening to me all of sudden I have this most urgent need to go to the bathroom - Talk about dumping a load ! The diaper(s) was so loaded it just fell off of me - ker thud thunk ! And better have a breathing device handy - the smell is not user friendly !

Oh yeah I remember drinking that in prep for a colonoscopy had a hard time keeping it down it made me so nauseous just taking it. Gross yuck

Mag citrate also comes in capsules. A couple of those won't make you go, but will help you go.

Oh I didn't know it came in pill form the doctor told me to get the liquid and take it every 3 to 4 hours. Like I said Yuck.

Pill or capsule form isn't very practical. It takes a hefty dose of Magnesium Citrate to produce a thorough evacuation. A 10oz bottle of Magnesium Citrate contains about 18 grams. typical capsule holds about 1/2 gram, so you are looking at a lot of capsules. It also doesn't provide the water necessary for the Magnesium Citrate to work its 'magic', although presumably you would need to drink at least 10 oz to get down all of those tablets/capsules.

That doesn't mean it cannot be done. Two companies make what is essentially a tablet form of Phospho-Soda® by producing tablets with a mix of mono and di basic Sodium Phosphate. The tablets are large, and you have to take a lot of them (Visicol® and Osmoprep®).

Check the archives, you'll see I have posted about it a number of times.

What do you need to know?

It is all but impossible to drink too much water when you are on that stuff.

I have mostly used it AT THE END of a system cleanout, after the enemas have returned clear, just to catch that last little bit.

If you take it solo, without any enemas or other laxatives, it can go to work, on an empty stomach in as little as 45 minutes, but normally takes 2-3 times that.

Make sure to take it at least an hour before or after ANY prescription drugs you are on!! For some drugs it is 2 hours.

The stuff tastes terrible. The best you can do is suppress SOME of the taste by refrigerating it at least 12 hours before you use it.

I have found that the cherry flavor is best avoided. For me, at least, it has the highest gag reflex of any flavor. If you can't keep the Lemon flavor down, you need to explore alternatives. Here is the technique I use to keep it down: I take a stadium cup, fill it with ice water, and put a pillow in front of the toilet. Don't take the Mag Citrate out of the fridge until the last minute. Kneel in front of the toilet knees on the pillow to keep them off the hard floor, in case your body won't tolerate it and decides to bring it right back up. Open it. Mag citrate in one hand, stadium cup in the other. Take a sip, then right away a sip of ice water. Wait several seconds till the bitter aftertaste starts to dissipate. repeat. Continue until the mag citrate bottle is empty. Then kneel there another minute or so, and take a couple of sips out of that stadium cup

When you get up, do it slow, and don't do anything too physically strenuous or fast moving. You WILL see results in a couple of hours. Drink all the water you can stand!!!

When the results come, they will be all liquid, some will look like pond scum. You could be on the toilet every 15 minutes for up to 7 hours after that first result, but the worst will be over in about 4 to 4-1/2 hours after first result

In the event that you DO still throw it up, wait at least 24 hours, better 48 before trying again

During that time, it's better that you not eat solid food You probably won't feel hungry anyway. If you get light headed you need something like Gatorade, Powerade or Pedialyte, something to restore your electrolytes. After things settle down eat some high potassium food, Bananas are a good choice. there are others

You want to wait a least 12 hours after you first took a sip before going out in the streets, or going anywhere too far from a usable toilet.

I found the cherry flavor to be much better than the lemon flavor. Yes, you have to drink a lot of water to stay hydrated and to help the laxative work but it got me cleaned out for the flex sig exam.

I've used the lemon lime stuff, but add a good shot of vodka to it to give a better taste. It also helps to drink it through a straw from a cup with a lid so you don't smell it as you are drinking it.

Dan

I guess I'm just strange: it doesn't taste great, but it has never made me throw up. It DOES give me a series of very thorough BM's in 4 hours or less! This is NOT a "drink it at bedtime & wake to a good morning BM" laxative. Presuming you do go to sleep, you would likely mess in your bed. If you still want to drink it at bedtime, wear a diaper! I usually staart a thorough bowel cleanse with mag citrate, then do enemas til clear after it does its work. If you want to try it, set aside a full day to stay in and close to the toilet.

Great for a fast cleanout!!!

Last fall I had a colonoscopy and had to drink 3 bottles of the stuff for my prep, at 10AM, 2PM and 6PM. I tried my 1st bottle with Crystal Lite lemonade mix and using the straw method, which about gagged me to death. The last 2 bottles I took as is, followed by as much water I could get down, and had no problems. Taste wise I found it to be no worse than Castor Oil.

I found it worked me, one or twice, about 30 to 45 minutes after taking it and, has been said, a rather fast acting cleanout.

Hate the stuff. They should allow you to take enemas as a prep. It would be so much better.

We have discussed countless times in several threads why enemas don't do the job.

In my country it called picoprep o citrafleet. We use it only for a colonoscopy prep, you have to drink 2 doses. There are 15 gr of Magnesium citrate and 10mg dipicosulfate in each dose 😃

This mixture is very powerful and cleans you out very well 😃

Actually the combination of Magnesium Citrate and Sodium Picosulfate is fairly common. In Canada it is Pico-Salax® (Over the Counter, about $20), PrepOpik® in the USA (prescription, $120) and Picoprep (over the counter UK). Picoprep can often be purchased on eBay from UK sellers for about $14 for a two pack including postage to the USA.

Note that Pico-Salax, PrepOpik and Picoprep are all EXACTLY the same product, made by the same company (Ferring). Gives you an idea of just how much the drug companies are ripping off American Consumers.

Sodium Picosulfate is essentially Dulcolax®. Bisacodyl has acetate side chains that are fall off at the typical pH in the colon, Sodium Picosulfate has Sodium Sulfate side chains that are stripped off by colonic bacteria. Once the side chains are gone Bisacodyl and Sodium Picosulfate are identical molecules. While Sodium Sulfate is a fairly potent saline laxative, the dose is grams. The sodium sulfate content in 10mg of Sodium Picosulfate is about 2mg, so the sodium content is a fraction of that, so it is actually tiny.

My Dom has started me on a regiment of 3 bisacodyl tablets daily and twice a day on the weekends. It can be exhausting as after awhile there's nothing left to give but the urge to push is overwhelming. It does give a complete clean out. I still do a large volume enema before I know he'll want anal play just to make sure I'm clear.

Anything to make him happy ?

Keep in mind: That re-post was in 2016. It was 10+ years old then!

Meaning that by now it was half a lifetime ago.

Things change!!

I still do system cleanses, though admittedly less often!

We will see what happens in another few years.

Hate most of the colon preps these days. For my first colonoscopy exam in the '70s, I was admitted to the hospital the day before. After dinner they gave me a small bottle of laxative to drink--it was small and tasted ok. Kept me up all night. At 6AM I got an enema. The exam was at 9AM and I was squeaky clean [they put on a training scope so I could watch]. I wish colon preps were still like this--much more preferable to what I have to drink these days. Best combo recently was dulcolax pills plus Miralax every hour over a roughly 7 hour timeframe.
