Side Effects of Enemas

Are there any side effects of enemas?

The side effects depend on; How hot,how cold,how much and what you add to your solution. So keep your enemas simple like add one teaspoon of salt for each quart of solution at a temp about 105 degrees.The only side effect I get is the enemas feel sooo good and they make want another and another and another.Well,you'll get the idea in time.

Yes indeed there are serious side effects - from those I administer!

Recipients tell me they feel faint with the pleasure of their sensual experience!

The side effects I have are satisfaction and relaxation and the feeling of not being full all of the time as well as stress relief a lot of times after a bad day

Too much soap can make a person feel nauseous.

Never added salt here so I guess everyone is different. Try tasting a fleet enema, its horrible. No wonder the colon hurts after that! Cleaning the colon can also lead to spontaneous orgasm so beware 😘

After a series of enemas, water can be absorbed from the colon resulting in frequent urination, light-headedness and and headache. All of these will dissipate after a short period of time. Otherwise expect euphoria and a feeling of well being that will make you want another enema.

Luvanal you are correct about water intoxication. I wrote about this issue with long retention of large volume enemas.

Only one issue: The proper amount of salt to add to a quart or liter of water is one teaspoonful.

Just for the record: Jennifer Strange died from drinking a large volume of water in a radio contest. She did not receive the water via an enema. i don't know if that makes a difference

When I was selling potassium supplements to doctors, one of the medical studies we would reference was that with each large-volume enema the patient would lose 80 milliequvilants of potassium each time; so we encouraged the docs to Rx an oral potassium tab with each enema. Most Doc's were not aware of this, and these were the days when "enemas'til clear" were common prior to scopes and BaE's. This amount of potassium loss could result in heart beat irregularities. We got some K-Lyte Rx's from Docs to protect themselves from lawsuits.

Any of you folks who do 5-6 enemas/day would do well to eat bananas, dates,or drink Gatoraid, just to be safe. The first signs of potassium loss are slurred speech and staggered walking, then the heart problems start. This is really dangerous in the elderly.

So remember that either too much or too little serum potassium can kill you. This is why people who take Lasix for blood pressure also take potassium and states who use lethal injection give the condemned a huge dose of KCL I.V. to stop the heart beat.

I've never experienced any side effects before but I did experience some unpleasant ones yesterday. See my post in this forum from earlier today, "This never happened before and I hope it doesn't happen again."

Well, the side effect I get is a nice "firm on" which can be dealt with separately. With a warm water enema, done in moderation, you should have no bad side effects.

I always tend to get hungry not long afterwards, most likely due to being far emptier. However on one occasion when I did several in a few days I did feel a little weak, as if I hadn't eaten at all. Moderation is the key, as with everything.

K2,

You are correct, you have to define moderation. Or at least set some limits before you start. My limit is 10 gallons per day, 2 quarts at a time. And no more than eight days per week. Actually, it's like curing a woodie, it's kind of self limiting, you do it until it no longer feels good.

I like to listen to my body tell me how it feels. A 2 quart enema is fine daily, probably for an extended period, but 3 gallons would lose it's appeal after the first time. Like food: real good when you are hungry, but not as exciting after Thanksgiving Turkey.

I tend to enjoy between 4-14 squirts from my higgenson bulb every morning. It's easier to fill the sink with warm water than to fill the 2 quart bag. But once in a while, it's good to have a couple of bags full on a slow morning. But I think I would lose interest in a daily 4 quart enema.

Each to our own.....

"jimmyt44"--I thank you for your post and for mentioning the irregular heartbeat issue. Occasionally I will have skipped or extra beats, and this scares me. Three years and one day ago I had my first ever bag enema. I used around two quarts, without salt. Afterwards, I had to urinate frequently and felt very odd, somewhat lightheaded. I was very alarmed about this and almost called the EMTs. This condition persisted into the afternoon of the next day. I drank some Gatorade and gradually began to feel better (whether from the Gatorade or time, I don't know). I don't recall having any heart irregularities during this time, but the entire situation was worrisome. I feel like I threw myself out of whack somehow. I don't know whether it was from an imbalance of potassium, too much fluid absorption or whether the intra-abdominal pressure caused a reaction. Since then, I've pretty much avoided enemas. The few enemas I've allowed myself have been very small, and I used salt in a couple. Even though I desperately want to have another enema (and even more to receive a colonic), I've pretty much come to the realization that they're not for me, that the risk isn't worth it.

I've felt drained before but never like I'm going to vomit, what would be the fun in that

A positive side effect: a relaxed feeling, especially following a colonic. As a child, a little fatigue after receiving an enema, which made me ready for a nap or a return to bed if I were sick.

After two or three deep enemas I fund the intense cleansing makes me feel incredibly relaxed and healthy. Particularly if I've allowed myself an orgasm while holding in the last enema. I have a large diameter tube that I use for expelling as it allows me to lie down and expel with the tube resting in the toilet, so no mess, no smell, makes me feel really nice.

As stated below, large volume tap water enemas will cause potassium loss. Another vital nutrient to watch is vitamin D3.

I take 5000 units daily. Be safe and enjoy !

Enemas can be intense experiences, and as a result an occasional side-effect is anxiety, especially in newbies.

The recipient must be reminded that everything is fine, that cramps (if any) will go away soon, and that mild nausea (if any) will also go away soon (eating something will help the mild nausea go away.)

For some, the experience can be therapeutic to unload worries, etc. (in other words, to [color=#993300]put to good use the breakdown of their psychological barriers attained thanks to the enema, etc[/color].)

In rare case, the recipient might throw up a little. That seems to happen about once every 100 enemas, in my experience, especially in cases of larger enema amount, relative to person size.

Rare as it is, the risk of throwing up is an excellent reason to [color=#993300]avoid closed-mouth gags during enemas[/color]. In virtually all the 150+ enema films I've shot so far, and in my personal life, I've almost always used OPEN mouth gags in cases where the enema recipient is gagged.

I also think that open gags are superior to closed ones, but that's another story... 😉

PS: I won't repeat the cautions mentioned by others on this thread

PS2: @Unsure, my guess is that your symptoms were due to anxiety (assuming that you're in good health and didn't do excessive enemas.)

A number of side effects have already been mentioned in previous reply's,so I won't repeat them. One of the most important side effects however is Potassium depletion, this can and on occasion has been fatal so it is worth protecting yourself through simple dietary measures. One of the best sources of Potassium is tomato juice. An 8 oz. glass contains approx. 1000mgs. plus approx. 800mgs. of Sodium. Other good sources of Potassium are, bananas,yogurt,milk. DO NOT take an over the counter supplement with out a doctors recommendation, you can easily over dose and get into trouble. The bottom line is eat a food with a high Potassium content either before or immediately after an enema to protect yourself from Potassium depletion.

When I have eaten a meal, I usually feel full. That sensation is not conducive to my enjoying filling my bowels with water. The latter seems to really push against my stomach. I would rather wait a couple of hours or more.

I've heard to lay on your left side while holding the enema in, is this true? the only side effect i really had was the first time i done it i felt a little cold/clammy, but it was certainly worth it during and after. nice to know there are others that enjoy the same thing, makes me not feel as silly about it 😃

It's the side effects that probably keep some of us hooked. Some of those are very negative and others very pleasurable. One must manage those side effects and be cautious and perceptive to the physical changes that can occur. Using moderation and being sane in actual practice are critical for a lifetime of enjoyment. 50+ years in my case. Do some reasearch and consider other's experiences but find your own comfort zone.

Hello Brittanystevens,

The left side position is popular for administration of moderate amounts of solution and retention for a just a few minutes. If you are using larger amounts, (2qt or more,) or attempting to retain for more than 10 minutes try this: Administer 1qt or more of solution in the knee-chest position then slowly roll to your right side and take the rest of the solution. You will feet the solution move in your bowel when you roll to the right, anatomy and gravity is moving liquid higher into your bowel which is good.

To retain, slowly roll onto your back and put pillows under your knees. This should be a very relaxed, comfortable position and will allow retention for quite a while unless you use a stimulant like epsom salt or Dulcolax in your mix. Even with the stimulant this position is very good as you will be able to retain the solution until the stimulation is very strong and you will find the "results" very satisfactory. Enjoy.

[color=#000000]I have had soapy enemas at time where I later while expelling felt some nasty Nausia and close to throwing up [/color][color=#000000]which after a few deep breaths it would go away...but the really funny after effect from even plain water enemas, [/color][color=#000000]was I would be on the pot expelling, and I would suddenly have a sneezing attack...about up to 7 rapid fire sneezes. [/color][color=#000000]anybody ever have that??? [/color]

I must add my experience of yesterday. I know I was seriously constipated, we has been entertaning guests, one party after another which makes you feel guilty if you are in the bathroom for more than a few minutes!

At last I had the chance to take a seriously good warm soapsuds enema ( Dr Bronners Peppermint soap, my favourite) and experienced quite a lot of cramps while enjoying it. I held it for only a few minutes despite my double balloon nozzle the expelled and expelled and expelled. I became quite faint and sweaty and know I was not far from pasing out. I had to go and lie down even though more was draining from me ( thank goodness for old towels). The faintness passed over and I was able to eat a small meal a few hours later. Now, was this a vaso vagal episode triggered by the enema, I ask my self. I wish I had taken my pulse at the time. ( No way I could have got to my BP machiine!).

I do take drugs for hypertension and wonder whether they play a significant part in this What do other senior members think

The greatest side effects of a good enema for me are an exquisite erection, followed by an explosive climax......sometimes too soon, I might add. Oh ya....the clean out feels good as well.

I have an average of 2-3 enemas per month .if i would take like 2 enemas a week wouldn't that harm me in any way?
