How much water is safe? Colon capacity?

Is there some kind of limit of how much water you can get before it gets dangerous?

Any suggestions?

The limit is different for each person. In the beginning it would be small, somewhere around 2 qts or even less. With time you should be able to increase to an amount that approaches your limit. Just be carefull when pushing the limit with your partner, you must go slowly.

How do you know when you are close to the limit?

What does it feel like?

Have you ever had an enema before,if you had,your body will tell you by the feeling of fullness.If you have never tried an enema,I suggest you do so,then let us know how it went,we can then help you along the way of achieving some good enema pratices.Good luck.Let the good times flow.w/m72yrs/Western Ma

You'll know when you have reached your limit, Swenorth. You won't be able to take any more water, you'll probably suffer from severe cramping and the urge to expell will be overwhelming. As well, you may have some severe nausea and, sorry to be so blunt, you may even vomit!

Without a doubt, capacity increases with usage. Mine is now about 7,5 litres, which is about 8 US quarts; but I began in my teens with about one and a half. Howhammie, if you read this, post us some more about acquired megacolon?

I agree that the capacity to take larger enemas increases with time. I'm not sure, however, if this is just practice or if, as suggested it's due to colon enlargement. Probably a mix of both.

I have never been able to fit more than 2 qts. without the feeling that something dangerous might occur and I think that this is just good commonsense. If you overfill you will die miserably. 2 quarts, held for several minutes, is enough punishment for anyone especially if you know that you are going to be getting another one in about 10 minutes time.

Yes, regular traing con improve your capacity. Is a mix of fisical and mental attitude.

If you keep the bag (can,bucket,etc) less than 4 feet higher than your anus then you are not on much danger of overfilling yourself.

Should you use a retention (inflateable) nozzle then you have up-ed the bar some. To use tap pressure, mix strange brew, insert forgen objects, etc the danger goes up more.

Enemas are safe and fun if you practice some common sense

Someone posted this once before, so I can't take the credit for this. It IS a good idea.

To have an idea of the pressure your colon is under, place the bag at the height you like, then lie down on the floor and place the tube in your mouth. Open the tube clamp and see what the pressure feels like. You may decide to take it a little easier on your colon after you do this, especially after you consider that your colon has much thinner walls than you mouth.

Absolutely your intestines and rectum are nothing but muscles and like any other muscle they will stretch. Don't be afraid to try some of the techniques talked about here when you find something that works, stick with it you will be supprised at how quickly your capacity will improve, I have no problem with a gallon at a time with little to no pain just pressure that's all you should feel just the weight of the water no pain at all.

When you reach your limit, your body will tell you by feeling

full, possibly accompanied by cramping. Also with a high volume

enema, your ascending colon will become stiff and hard all of

the way to your cecum. The way you can monitor the progress of

your enema is to place your hand on the right side of your

abdomen and feel it get firm. When the colon is firm all of the

way to the cecum, you are at your limit. If you exceed your

limit, the rest of your digestive system will begin to fill and

you will feel nausea and regurgitate.

Have fun and derive pleasure and good health from them.

It is an enema not a race.

Some the most resistant say to take 4 liters...

they normally take 2 liters of which the first 500cc to free the straight one, the remainders 1500cc to irrigate the bowel 😉

Most adults can take 2500cc. However, material in the lower colon could reduce this amount.

Some people report taking up to 5000cc + a little more. Fullness is OK, but absolute pain is not. The height of the container is also a factor.

I took beer enema but it didn't go as planned i fizzed up and created a lot of cramping but i sure did get drunk off it

I would advise against taking beer enemas! The colon absorbs alcohol much faster than the stomach, thus making it very easy to get alcohol poisoning. Your best bet is to drink the alcohol and then have fun with enemas after 😜

1 gallon seems to be the MAX for most people. From what ive seen most people can't usually take over 3 quarts.

The 1500cc mark is the norm for an adult as long as it is given slowly. The larger amounts can be taken once you have had a couple of smaller enemas to clean you out. Don't try anything above 1500cc without someone helping you that knows what she/he is doing!

Does anyone know if enemas can be used as a weight control method? I'm always as hungry as a horse after one, but it stands to reason that habitually having an empty colon might enhance one's efforts to lose weight.

Impossible to say, everyone have a different capacity, listen your body signals and play safe, too much pain is a stop signal. My top record are 3,8 liters (about 4 q.ts), but I was trained by mom to large Enemas from childood, my first full 2 liters (about 2,2 Q.ts was at 12 y.o.).

Hugs, Lara.

I thinka good litter and half are fine... but if you want to murder your curiosity, don'tuse more than 3 litters.

In discussions at efests and in nozzlezille, most people like 1 1/2 - 3 qts. Some report taking 4 qts routinely.

I have taken 4, but find it very painful (not crampy, which I do like) I do not believe anyone who says they take 5-6 qts.

I believe in taking 3-4 good hot soapy enemas of around 2 qts.

Most of the time I can take 4-quarts, but I never force it.

4 quarts is the most I've taken it get a good result

The most i've taken is 4qt but i felt very full and uncomfortable towards the end of it. i think 2 or 3 is just about the most to be comfortable for me

I would start with 1/2 Liters if there is any materials detected in the rectum during the DRE of the patient.

I usually take 4 quarts with no problem. No force, no pain just fullness. I have taken as much as 5 but that was with some pain and determination. Just do what is comfortable for you. Your body knows what works and does not work. Don't over do it.

In reaching the limit you can feel nausea and you can probably vomit it is the signal thant your colon is full and begin to force the water to enter in the small iestine wich is very dangerous

I take 2 to 3 quarts form my play nurse with no problem depending on how much soap she feels I need to do the job right. The plain water after hot and soapy is most of the time 3 quarts plus 2 to 3 times
