CO2 Suppositories

Is anyone familiar with co2 suppositories? They are used extensively in Europe but not in the US.

No but I'm thinking of trying them (I live in Europe so they are easy to get). Thank you for reminding me. 😃

The co2 suppositories fill you with co2 gas the thing is to retain it as long as possible because you do feel very gassie!

One brand is I believe called "CEO-2" and they are available online, and the pricing is reasonable. A Google search should get you there. They disappeared from the market for a number of years but were available again not too long ago.

I tried them a few years back and they were rather interesting.They are quite a bit bigger than a regular glycerine or Dulcolax suppository. They work by generating CO2 gas in the rectum and actually work quite well and are not as irritating as other types of suppositories.

One thing I found was that if you are "empty" and use one, about the only result is some minor farting. On the other hand if you actually "need" it, it works fairly fast and gives one good movement and that's it. I didn't have to worry about having to stay close to a toilet like with other types of suppositories. I think they would be ideal for traveling.

How about little Enderle 'bugcatchers' on our baseball caps and a little tube running down to our posterior orifice so that we can get recharged whenever we're walking upwind? We'll keep the CO2 injection idea with the button on the belt for extra power

These sound very interesting. I'm using the magic bullets and they are quite intense

I tried them a few years ago. They worked in about 20 to 25 minutes, nothing great. I'm a little skeptical about the co2 gas actually causing a bowel movement. There was some technical info available online, and the amount of gas generated was relatively small. I believe the inactive ingredients were listed as glycerine and sodium phosphate (used in Fleets enemas). I'm thinking those two ingredients might have actually had a laxative effect.

Inflating your innards with compressed CO2 cant be good. Although I did hear of something similar that was going on in Japan (supposedly). I forget what they were using to inflate their bottoms with but it was short bursts. One guy decided to use an air compressor and seriously injured himself.

I've had chronic constipation for many years and have tried a variety of laxative suppositories, and the CO2 ones didn't work for me. They caused minor cramps from the gas buildup and made me fart, but they didn't do much good in stimulating my colon to move things along.

If you really need to go, bisacodyl suppositories (I use bisac-evac brand) are much more effective.

These suppositories are better to have some "good time", than for real constipation. Yet I have to say that in case of minor constipation it helps both ways 😃

Okay, I was bored, so I decided to calculate this. If I remember my high school chemistry right (grams to moles, moles to grams, etc.) I can figure out how much CO2 should theoretically be generated by each suppository. Here goes:

According to the box, each one contains 0.9 g potassium bitartrate (mol. weight 188 g/mol, Wikipedia) , 0.6 g sodium bicarbonate (mol. weight 84 g/mol). That is equal to 0.00478 moles of bitartrate and 0.00714 moles bicarbonate. This makes the bitartrate the limiting reagent. I think the number of moles of CO2 produced should be the same as the number of moles of bitartrate, so we have 0.00478 moles of CO2 being produced. The ideal gas law is PV=nRT, or V=nRT/P, where n is the number of moles, R (=0.08206 L atm / K mol) is the universal gas constant, T is temperature in Kelvins, and P is pressure. Assuming that the rectum is 38C or 311 K, and that gas pressure isn't too much bigger than atmospheric pressure, this gives

V = (0.00478 mol) * (0.08206 L atm / K mol) * (311 K) / (1 atm) = 0.122 L

or 122 milliliters.

Someone (a chemist around here, maybe?) check my math. I don't know about you, but my enemas are usually a lot bigger than that. No wonder they don't work.

I understand that, 25-30 years ago, there was a Barium enema prep kit called an "Evac-Q-Kit" on the market.

It was an abomination:

4 bisacodyl tablets.

1-10 oz bottle of Cherry-flavored(and therefore vomit inducing) Magnesium citrate

2-2-inch long white opaque suppositories that supposedly were CO2.

Apparently the thinking was:

If you could get through THAT, a BE should be pretty easy to handle!!!!

That's the last anyone I know heard of them in the US.

I get this info from my father. He raised me as a single parent.

We CAN talk openly about enemas and such in the privacy of our own homes. I had never heard of them. When I read this post I e-mailed him and asked him. I had not, up to then heard of CO2 Suppositories.

Many years ago CO2 suppositories I think by the name of Vacuettes or something similar were available. They were quite large compared to the typical glycerine or D'lax and were to be immersed in water before insertion to activate them. Alone they worked moderately well and would fill you with many active bubbles. Using them in combination with either glycerin or D'lax they were dynamite. A lady friend of mine liked to receive suppositories and one time I tried one of the CO2 with a D'lax and then inserted an inflatable plug. She almost launched into orbit after only a few minutes. After that when things were a bit dull she'd suggest using this combination and she got to a point where she could retain them for up to half an hour quivering and shaking the whole time. Anybody try the more current CO2 supps in combination with either glycerin or D'lax?

Vacuetts had, by the mid 1970s, been re-formulated to be in effect, a "Fleet enema in suppository form"

To LIsaK

If they were reforumlated, any idea what was put in them? All I know from my previous post is that they really had some extra zip, especially if used in combination with something else as I mentioned.

You really seem to know a lot about some of these things and obviously have some personal experience. I'd like to hear more about those experiences.

I was advised that there is a suppository on the market in the US called 'Carbolax' which likely will do what has been discussed here; that is, result in releasing large amounts of gas within the intestine. It's not approved in Canada, though; I know, I looked (through the Web).

Good luck!

You can find the CO2 suppositories at brownbottle.com. i tryed them they work but not like an enema they only clear out a little. however they don't burn or make you feel like you have to go 2 hours later. good luck

I have seen several ads for these. They state that it is lubbed in inserted far into the rectum and it forms gas and that causes a bm.

Anyone tried these and did you like or dislike them and why/

Thanks

Havent seen these, but I do know that a nice sugar water enema will produce a lot of gas. A nice 1 cup enema held in will really cause the gas to build. Sexywetred use to like to give these to me just before we would go to town.

They seem to work quite well in 20-30 minutes, and are a very different experience than Glycerin or Bisacodyl(Dulcolax®) suppositories.

They actually do 3 things. The chemical reaction liberates CO2 which activates the stretch receptors in the colon. The propylene glycol base provides some lubrication, and the Potassium and Sodium tartrate salts that arise from the reaction exert osmotic pressure to draw water into the bowel lumen.

Unlike Bisacodyl, generally there is no 'repeat' of the effects, and once evacuated, it is over.

I once inserted a bath tablet that formed co2 inside of my rectum. To my surprise the effevecent bubbles that formed cause me to have a spontaneous orgasm and ejaculate without even touching myself manually.

Can get by mail order or even at some Walgreen's. They just shoot a bit of air up so the area is easier to examine. They are not much of an enema. Better is to use a 1 qt bulb syringe - inserts air and much more!.

I bought some a few years back, they worked in 25 to 30 minutes generally, but not nearly as well as a biscodyl suppository. Also, I'm not sure I buy the fact the CO2 really has that much effect since they generate a relatively small amount of CO2 gas. The ones I used listed glycerin as well as sodium phosphate (which is in Fleet enemas) as inactive ingredients, and IMO this probably had more effect than the CO2.

I've tried the CO2 type in the past, they are odd and slightly uncomfortable after a while,

it's like you need a huge urgent fart....

Glycerine suppositories are far better and much easier to get. I use 3 at a time :-)

Doc

A small injection of a soft drink will produce instant violent cramps because of the carbonation.

C02 suppositories are very unconfortable. I can't undestand that kind of suppo could still be used any more.

Dulcolax or glycerine ones are really better.

CO2 suppositories are highly elusive, I never managed to find a good deal with international shipping. I guess people just likes the classic and cheaper bisacodyl or glycerine options. But I still want to try it.

Sometimes I really injoy the cramping. Is that sick?.

Chrisa, not at all. I also sometimes enjoy the cramping.

The Ceo-Two suppositories used to be much larger than the standard glycerin suppositories, and that aspect had me hooked on them. Then they went out of production and werent available. About two years ago, they were available again, but were considerably smaller in size, and similar to the standard glycerines.

They are quite "dry" in texture, and even after soaking in water as recommended, it is somewhat uncomfortable to insert. Using mineral oil or petrolatum is not advised.
