Anyone feel faint from an enema?

Yes.

You CAN overdo it!!

When you get dizzy or feeling faint, your body is trying to tell you that you've done exactly that!!

Time to end the session, drink some Gatorade, Powerade or Pedialyte and take it easy for a few hours.

OK to eat a little bit, but don't push yourself to eat more than you feel you can handle.

Yes, but only once.

One partner a long time ago did, and one recent partner as well. After the enema and orgasm, they were on the toilet expelling and they felt a little lightheaded. I like to stay with my partners for the entire process so I held them and let them lean on me, as well as helped them with a little tummy massage to get the enema moving. I think both times it was because they were hungry and probably unknowingly dehydrated that the enema really wiped them out.

I have never ever felt anything weird during or after the hundreds of enemas I've taken so I wasn't expecting reactions like this. Lesson learned!

Yes, several times and sometime it includes some sweating. It seems to occur when I try a new recipe or when I have difficulty expelling. It occurred once after I had completed a series of enemas. Possibly electrolyte imbalance. Now I try to drink a lot before and during my enema sessions. Don't like the taste of Gatorade or those other drinks but taking a Gatorade enema sounds interesting. Is that truly effective? I also feel rather tired after a series so I don't plan on doing much afterwards.

Feeling faint is your body telling you you have overdone it.

Back off! Take a break, at least until several minutes after the light-headdedness has subsided!!

In the 1970s there was a lawsuit in Newburgh, NY. An enema was given, and while expelling the patient passed out and received a serious head injury when he fell from the toilet.

That was probably the reason when I was given enemas in that same hospital the nurse stayed with me as I expelled. Of course I didn't object.

That does raise the question, when pre-childbirth enemas were given was the mother to be left alone?

If you are feeling faint you are overdoing something somewhere and depleting your electrolytes

What is recommended to prevent depleting electrolytes. I had a bad experience once when I forgot to add salt and got terrible chills after expelling...

I see I replied way back in 2012 here in post #44 - I did not realize back then feeling faint and nauseous was a symptom of heart artery blockage that finally resulted in my having surgery in 2016..

No, never fainted or felt nausea during any enema in > 50 years. As @liquidsky noted several years ago, I gather that I'm not susceptible to enema-induced vagal gut stimulation. No faintness or syncope after any colonics either.

I haven't after enemas - then I feel light-bodied and energized! But I have felt slightly light-headed after at least two colonics. When returning to my car I decided to just sit for a while rather than get into traffic. After 15 or 20 minutes the light-headedness passed away and I motored home.

Don't know if this is what you were looking for, but a couple years ago when I tried Susie's Rough Ride I vomited a couple times, then around the end of the expulsion I passed out. Not very fun, but I don't think it was electrolyte related.

I'll pass on that one.

I have from time to time especially if I take the enema to fast or if I stand up quickly after expelling. Never have passed out but have been close. Feeling does pass after a fe minutes and if I can grab something quick to eat

A nurse who cared for me when I was recovering at home from surgery said to add a teaspoon of salt per quart of warm water, and if I needed a second enema to wait 20 to 30 minutes and sip orange juice, sports drink or Pedialyte to help balance electrolytes. That was 36 years ago, and I have always followed Angie's advice and never had a problem.

I did feel a light bit faint after taking an extra warm 107-110F enema with no other additions. I worried I may had done damage or the like, though since it didn't hurt or effect later bowel movements, I figured that it was just my body not being used to such a temperature spike. I remember feeling something similar when I took a cool room temperature enema too, so my body must be fairly sensitive to such temperature changes compared to others.

(These were straightforward two quart enemas too, and I've taken up to four quarts without similar feeling, so volume likely hasn't much impact on it in my case.)

@Vicki_V So true. A week ago I forgot to put salt in my enema. I got really bad chills while expelling. It scared me.

I went a week without going. Finely Sunday I had the courage to take an enema. This time I put in salt as prescribed. Also, equal parts of baking soda.

Everything went fine. I'm even, regular! Don't forget the salt and the baking soda gave me energy. And my muffins are light and fluffy and my teeth are whiter 😁 Ok only kidding. But it worked... 🌹

My first enema in a session is usually quite strong:

4 TBSP Epsom Salts,

6 oz. Liquid Vegetable Glycerin, and

Enough warm water to make an enema of one quart.

Usually I take this enema rapidly, and often will lose about one half of the enema the moment I pull the nozzle out. The balance of the enema will take about 45 minutes to completely expel. The cramps are usually brutal, and I often feel as though I'm going to vomit. I also feel dizzy sometimes. I have never vomited from this enema, and have never lost consciousness. If one enjoys cramps, this enema and Milk and Molasses enemas are both great in producing them.

I've never had a problem taking large plain water enemas without salt. Adding salt would give me the "dreaded dribbles". My feeling faint would happen before I had heart surgery when taking large strong soapy enemas where the cramps would bring on the feeling faint/nauseous.

When I see a professional Domme, I always take along a bottle or two of generic, unflavored "Pedialyte" from Walgreens. For over 12 years I played with a professional Domme every month. Over time, some of our more adventurous sessions produced some lightheadedness. I tried Gatorade, but the acid gave me indigestion. Branded Pedialyte was good, but was a bit salty-tasting and "off." Walgreens' store brand is the most neutral tasting of any I tried and I've never had any lightheadedness, nausea or other side-effects from enemas - other than the intended ones, of course! While tap or bottled water works, too, (to some extent, anyway) I think the ingredients and electrolytes prevent any problems. (Note: I have no relationship with Walgreens, except as a customer.)

Sometimes I feel faint just thinking about it in advance of a recreational enema 😜!

Yes. I did after my first one. But I’m ok with it now and really enjoy it. Getting good at holding it too

I especially enjoy having my Domme make me get up from the bathroom floor and display my enema belly to us and sometimes do some tasks while still full before eventually giving her and then me orgasms. The only sensations or symptoms I've ever felt were extra cramps and intense evacuation urges as well as occasional brief shivering and chills while sitting and evacuating. It felt as if the normally very fast and sudden flows in my colon, rectum and past my sphincter while emptying we're making me cramp and shiver and chill. Even with those, I've never felt faint or lightheaded even while arising from the floor, walking around or sitting and evacuating. This is true even with my largest and longest enemas, 4-5 quarts held from 30-60 minutes if I'm solo, and 3-4 quarts held usually 3-4 hours as sub from my Domme. The shivering, cramps and chills during evacuation were more likely if I was evacuating a Castile soap enema. I've never ever needed or really wanted to use a rinse enema.

Adding to my previous replies here - if you feel both very faint and nauseous while expelling and enema - might be good to have a stress test, as you might have a heart problem like I did. I guess during the cramps of expulsion allot of blood is rushing to the abdomen, away from the heart/head and if your heart arteries are clogged then limited blood supply is further limited. Any cardiologist here?
