Reasons and Methods for Enemas to Improve Health

@Moms_Egirl

Have you tied taking Miralax for several days, after a clean out to relieve any pre-existing constipation, and if you don't poo naturally add a mild laxative?

Enemas are preferable to wrecking you anal passage, but are not a great long-term way of pooing.

Getting them for 60 years with no issues. Fuck BIG Pharma / FDA, as the is no money to be made.

If removal of toxins and lowering inflammation in the gut are some of the benefits of enemas, shouldn't we be seeing lower rates of colon cancer among regular enema users? I haven't seen any studies reporting this, although data shouldn't be lacking if one should want to do a statistical study.

About Gerson therapy…..there are other aspects of the Gerson therapy that could be providing most of the health benefits, for instance a diet of fresh vegetables and fruits, instead of the enema effect.

Hi Sean, I alternate between Miralax and Maalox just to have a softer stool. That does not mean I'll have a bowel movement. I've tried everything (and I do mean everything, I'm in my 70s) and regularly see a Gastrointestinal doctor every 6 months. I have a problem with nerve damage from my internal transverse down to sigmoid colon and then rectum. I DO NOT want a colostomy just to be able to have a bowel movement, so I will keep taking enemas until they no longer work. I've had too many tests and biopsies to count and spent several thousand dollars on medications (over the counter and prescription) over the last 30 years and have idopathic constipation. The doctors have said, “it takes up alot of time but if bag enemas work to empty your bowels and make you feel better, then I don't see why you can't continue to use them.”

For my condition they are not harmful; in fact, I told a few Doctors that they are also a STRONG sexual aid and feel fantastic. So I will continue to give myself (or be given) enemas as long as I can. Thanks for your suggestion and tying to help. But I love my enema bag and it takes care of me.

I'm sorry about you medical problems. Getting old and sick is a real bitch, but we have to try and carry on.

Miralax does work to soften poo, and keep it soft even if it stays in you for several days. And it really does soften poo. It's non-toxic so you can take more, if needed. It's not fast acting, so don't expect it to make you poo in the morning. Some people put it in their drinks at every meal.

I'm not sure what good the Maalox does. AFAIK, it's not especially laxative. Do you, perhaps, mean Milk of Magnesia?

If you doctor is OK with enemas to help you poo, there are a number of “Trans Anal Irrigation Systems”. Essentially all are fancy enema bags, some with added Higgenson accelerator bulbs, and special nozzles to help you retain the solution while sitting on the toilet. These are either contoured nozzles that you press against your anus or balloons that go inside you rectum sand are air inflated. Once in place, you can relax and comfortably fill yourself and after a while you get the urge and poo.

Some such systems are:

https://www.wellspect.com/bowel/what-is-tai (look at Navina)

https://myqufora.com/qufora-irrisedo-flow/

Several of these vendors have various systems (balloon & cone) with more or fewer features. Insurance may pay for some as they can be expensive but have a chat with your doctor who seems to be receptive to enema therapy.

With any of them, making yourself poo while seated on the toilet is petty easy and, IMO, comfortable. Message me if you have questions.

I haven't seen any evidence of really either. In fact there have been studies showing an increase in temporary inflammation following certain types of enemas (most inflammation after phosphate/soapsuds/glycerin, medium after tap water, minimum after normal saline or PEG solution). What that inflammation means I do not know.

Removal of toxins is iffy at best. While some digestive processes may produce carcinogens (in small quantities) it is pretty much a continuous process. This is me talking out of my ass here, but I don't see how enemas could really change much there.

I can see why studies are not common, it would be difficult to set up and control enough for it to be meaningful over the 40+ years you would need to run the study.

Some formulations of antacid contain magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia). Due to some additional effects of milk of magnesia most now are calcium carbonate based.

@moliere Maybe you should take an enema to cure that!!! 😄😄😄😄

I agree with you 100%. Enemas can help with constipation and may have a placebo effect (relaxing, endorphin like pleasure). Except for rare occasions of delivering drugs or fecal implants, there isn't any real medical benefit. Butt they are pleasurable!

Talking out of my ass as well!!
