Backflow preventing cramps?

I realized recently that if you hang the bag just a few inches above yourself and use a nozzle with a large enough opening there are pretty much no cramps after the first few enemas, and I can take much more water because any time it becomes too much my colon pushes the excess water back up into the bag until I relax again, taking more water each time. This was with a double balloon rectal catheter that I've always used.

Anyone else experience this? It's so much more enjoyable since your colon can 'take a break' and push a bit of excess water back out before taking more. It's so relaxing you can pretty much take a nap and let your colon slowly expand at its own rate. Cant forget to properly sterilize the equipment after!

I usually raise my bag just enough so that the flow delays if back pressure happens, but continues when cramps relax. After the first enema, the bag is raised for faster flow.

Yes, I learned that early on, once I got old enough to do them myself. I have to have everything just right or I get cramps.

With my enema system,I use the backflow quite often,my setup consist of two clear plastic enema containers connected with a Y connector.The large container holds 3.5 qts,the smaller one holds 16oz which I usually use for soap or an alcohol mixture.Both containers have seperate clamps.When taking my enema from the larger volume container,there are times when the pressure builds up,in that case,The clamp is opened from the smaller container which is held in my hand in a low position to allow backflow.By raising the container to various hights,I can regulate how much solution to fill into the enema container.As the pressure subsides,I wll raise the small eneam container enough to resume the regular flow.My system is pretty high tech compared to the plain enema bag.

You might wonder where my handle comes from. Well, here's the story.

A number of years ago I decided that I liked taking the enema much more than expelling it. After several experiments I learned that I could lower the (closed top) bag and drain back into it. And then raise the bag and fill up again. And repeat as necessary. Thus, brownbag!

Of course it doesn't always work and often plugs up. I can squeeze the hose near the nozzle or bag, and this sometimes clears blockages. If I take cleansing enema(s) before the brownbag, things are a lot easier. Sometimes I'll go for an hour and a half and take the enema 5 or 6 times. Eventually I get off while full. Sometimes after that I will go and have a full expulsion, or try for one last drain so there's less to come out on the pot.

I especially love to do the brownbags sitting in front of the computer. I either read this site or look at my collection of porn images. Or both, now that I have two computers side by side. I use a very special nozzle which is basically a small knob at the end of the hose. In use, the knob and a short bit of hose are inserted, so that it is easy to sit and take and drain the enema. I make the knobs from those screw on nozzle adaptor things that come with the drugstore bags. I cut and file them so there are no sharp edges and the front end is a bit rounded. Cheap and effective.

And, back to the subject, there can be cramps -- mighty ones some times -- and usually I can drain my way through them. I have had the rig plug up a couple of times at the wrong moment, and have to grin and bear it and do the puppy breathing thing while frantically squeezing on the hose. So far, no blow outs, but that's only a matter of time.

I just recently discovered something:

When you retain the enema, if you can't handle the cramping, hang the bag at full height, but leave the nozzle in and leave the valve open.

It DOES help. Most cramps are caused by gas. The gas backs up into the bag!

I as well learned that early on and enjoy enemas a lot more once you learn control your in control.

Thanx for that tip about hanging the bag as high as possible for cramping.. will definately try that next time.

Brownbag,

Unless I'm mistaking, I believe what you are doing is actually

called a "Harris Flush" or something close to that. From what I

have read on other groups, I believe it was done that way to work

through blockages. I have let some of an Enema go back into an

enamel Enema can since it was easier to wash and bleach after use.

Usually, I use a Higginson inline bulb that has good check valves

to keep it from going back in the bag or can, and they slow the

flow when I am full until I relax and let more in.

Please remember when using a backflow flush to clean your bag and tubing.Otherwise,your tubing will clog and your bag will be comtaminated with feces.A good cleaning with a bleach mixure of one part bleach and one part water will do the trick on your hoses and bag.Do several rinces to insure a good cleaning of your enema equipment.Please be safe and have fun.

Ouch! That's your bag squealing at the thought of 3% hypochlorite attacking it with great enthusiasm. Silicone might stand that strength, but rubber or vinyl will give up quickly. A half ounce, 1 tablespoon, of bleach in a quart of water is still about 1000 ppm, a strong disinfecting solution. Wash the bag and hose with detergent and water to remove any solid material, then rinse with a quart or two of the bleach water, keeping it in contact with the surfaces for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain and dry.

If your bag begins to smell funky after all those backflows, just add a bit of mouthwash after cleaning with soapy water, shake for a minute or so, then empty.

Nothing freshens a bag like mouthwash.

Starting slow helps. Plain water, moderate temp, no more than 2 feet above your butt, start and stop often, roll over and change positions.
