"Reverse Flow Enema"

How many of you have experienced a Reverse-Flow enema? How was it done, and by who?

OVER

Boxcar;I do reverse flow enemas all the time after doing several 1.5 qt cleanout enemas for two reasons.First,when doing brandy enemas,the reverse flow allows the colon to gradually absorb the alcohol slowly and to accept the the effect of it.Second,when taking a large volume enema;it is a good idea to allow the colon to expand slowly,by allowing some backflow to relieve the pressure and remove some leftover gas the previous enemas did not get out of the colon.Then I can continue the rest of the enema as planned.

Let the good times FLOW to the max,three quarts will do.w/m73yrs/western Ma

Hey there 2bagger....sounds like you know what you're do'in.

The procedure you mention is, I believe, called a "Harris Flush". It is described in a lot of the older nursing manuals as a method of relieving gas.

Another method of relieving gas was to insert a rectal tube into the rectum with the end of the tube placed into a container of water. As the gas came out, bubbles would appear in the water. I think this one was called a "flatus tube".

I don't know what the indications were for one method over the other, or if they are still used today.

Sometimes I enjoy a reverse flow enema and this realy excites the prostate holding the bag up high then lowering it to waist level than lifting the bag up high and repeating this a few times and gives a great orgasm!

If ever you wish to prevent a 'Reverse Flow Enema", use a

one way valve, check valve, or Higgenson syringe in the line.

My interpretation of the Harris Flush is that a rectal tube

is inserted which serves both as the injection point and

expulsion into a toilet or pail. This type of proceedure

prevents the reinjection of the expelled enema and only

injects pure, clean water.

I consider backward flow into the bag to be undesirable since

it contaminates the syringe.

Sir Twobagger: Intrigued about your mention of a reverse flow with Brandy as an ingredient. How is Brandy any different than other liquors, obviously a matter of continuous warning about alcohol being absorbed in the colon? It is obvious you are a master regarding the delight of enemas -- wish you were handy to play the game with you. :-)

This is very common when receiving a lower G.I. Of course one had gone through a 'clean-out' prep beforehand, so is empty first.

But the bag is hung about 24 to 36 inches above the patient laying on the table, the valve is opened, the barium flows in, X-Rays are taken, then the bag is lowered below the waist or table to allow the barium to flow back out of the intestines. Of course not all flows back out, but that's one type of reverse flow enema...

Best to use a disposabale bag with a reverse flow, or harris flush. Beth Tyler sells a flatus-release device that helps release gas before starting your enema.

We i was young had a aunt that was a nurse i mean back in the old days. enemas where given for everything. and that the way she gave them bag high then low for return flow she would say.

man i had a grest child hood miss the old days
