Do you prefer enemas or laxatives?

Once again this is one personal account. It proves absolutely nothing. What IS germane is that the family moved from the country to the city and thus was exposed to viruses. It is not a scientific study with a question posed, a method selected, double blind process and standardized analysis of the data. Colds and flu are caused by viruses and as far as I know castor oil has no effect on them. The enterohepatic circulation is not interrupted by castor oil. What would that have to do with anything anyway? It's only purpose is to reabsorb bile salts from the terminal ileum. Your obsession with castor oil beclouds your judgement.

Definitely prefer enemas over laxatives. I don't ever even consider laxatives. Give me my bags every time.

Ricini you do know that I'm a physician? That I did a long rotation in gastroenterology as a medical resident? With the intention of pursuing GI as a career? Castor oil is split into ricinoleic acid by intestinal lipases. This then bonds to EP3 receptors which mediate the action through prostaglandins. I suggest you read this. It illustrates the use of the scientific method. I guess the gloves are off now.

Anecdotal reports are also replete with information and details that are omitted as well as exaggerations that enhance the stories.

I guess the gloves are off now.

Hey, chaps, don't get into a lather about castor oil, or anything else. In true Zity spirit, how about pants off rather than gloves?

No question, enemas.

The topic here is whether you prefer enemas or laxatives. Castor oil has been discussed ad nauseam in other threads. It goes nowhere, but if you want to continue arguing about it, start a new thread.

Me, definitely enemas. Much more fun and usually easier on my system, unless my colon is being temperamental.

This is an enema kink site, not a laxative site. I believe that almost every member likes the bag for many reasons. It's quick, erotic, relieves emotional stress, helps ladies with PMS, etc.

We had a big shot surgeon at Ohio State, called the "Big Z", named Robert Zollinger. He had a Napoleonic complex, due to being 5'6'' and was a terror to residents, internes and med. students. He and his partner discovered the disease, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome ( a hyper acidic condition in the stomach, caused by liver tumors). There is a major street named after him in Columbus, Zollinger Rd. One of his residents gave castor oil to a patient and the Biz Z found out about it. He made every resident and interne drink castor oil to see what it did. He told all of them that they would NEVER order that stuff again for anyone.

No questions about it Enemas!

No thanks to laxatives. I'll take enemas any day.

Enemas each and every time

If all you want to do is induce a reluctant BM, there are many oral preps and suppose. that can do the job (As Mashie can attest to), but if you want the erotic effect in the rectum and bowel, an enema is the only answer.

Enemas generally. When I do a complete cleanout, laxatives have a role to play. Some laxatives, especially bisacodyl,I never use "stand alone" always two hours before an enema, if at all.

Milk Of Magnesia is something I use after the second round in an enema series, if I haven't already taken bisacodyl.

I love both, in the last period my interest for laxative grow up! 😃

Now I'm searching some lax for a complete clean out 😃

For a very complete clean out, I start with some laxatives.

I have used Ducolax tablets, but the generic brand. I used to use 4 tablets and

take them with some Gatoraid. In the Gatoraide I would add two tablespoons of

Epsom Salts. That got the process going quickly. Now I use 8 tablets and the same

Gatoraide mix. That gets everything going and starts the flush.

After about an hour, I usually drink more Gatoraide, I put some ClearLax in it, if I drink a quart

I use 2/3rds of a cup of Clear Lax. If I use 20 oz Gatoraide I use 1/3 of a cup.

I find that after I drink the quart and then the 20oz, of Gatoraide, I am usually pretty clear.

Then I start my enemas. Sometimes I use Epsom salt in the water, other times I use baking soda.

I drink Gatoraide while I am doing this so that I don't lose all the electrolites in my body.

I have used a cup of Epsom Salt to a gallon, then 1/2 a cup to the next gallon of water.

Then I switch to baking soda. Usually 1/4 to1/3 rd of a cup to a gallon.

This works for me quite well. I have used soap to start with, J&J Body wash, Dr,.B's pepperment soap,

on rare occasions Ivory, sometimes liquid Ivory, other times Bar Ivory.

I really like a total clean out each time. I don't always start with laxatives, but when I do, that is what I do.

I have to plan on using them and having lots of time to enjoy all of it.

I have heard village people in some Asian countries don't like to take any medicines internally, especially western medicines. So for constipation first step is simply anal stimulation with soap, then enema and then as the last resort laxative is orally taken.

As you know my use of stimulants is to make sure I can't help but have an involuntary bowel movement into my nappy/diaper.

I dislike high volume enemas as they cause me to flood my nappy. A low volume enema such as Fleet has pretty much the same effect as a few glycerine suppositories - that is to induce bowel cramps within about 15 minutes and loss of control soon afterwards.

I prefer something less predictable as to when it will kick in but which is just as powerful. Hence caster oil or Epsom salts is my preferred laxative. It is oh so naughty to take the purgative and then lounge around in a nappy waiting for those delicious cramps.

I have never used a laxative and don't care to try one. I always use a good warm enema which leaves me with a feeling of relaxation and well being.

I love enemas, when I want a great clean out, I start with a laxative to get things moving. I usually start with some ducolax to start with, then a quart or two of Gatoraid with Clear Lax mixed in. That flushes everything out. Then I start getting filled up. I find I can take more water by doing this first, then the enema.

Then it is one bag after another till nothing but clear comes out. The first couple of fillings things still come out. Then I go for complete fills. That feels wonderful.

Enemas.......Hands down! ! !

Enemata only. No laxatives.

I have only taken laxatives a few times and they did not always work. You have to take them at bedtime and hope for the best when you wake up the next morning. If you are constipated and the laxatives didn't work, then you are now even more constipated having another 8 hours go by without any relief.

Enemas work and are quick and reliable.

I would imagine if someone tallied up the responses to this thread, enemas would be winning by a wide margin.

As a general proposition, I give myself an enema for the fun and enjoyment of it, not for constipation, so laxatives never enter the consideration, though if I were constipated, I would still use a laxative for first choice..

The ONLY time I ever take an oral laxative is when I am prepping for my every 3 yr. colonoscopy. I do this because I know that the small bowel must also be empty, as well as the large bowel before scoping. I drink the PEG solution and take the Dulcolax tabs Rx'd by my gastroenterologist. Then I fast for an extra day beyond his orders and take 2 large volume enemas on my own. (Tap water only)

For the rare times I get plugged up, it's always an enema. They work right away and feel good to me, because I am a hopeless Klysmo. I NEVER take Fleets, because I have radiation burns and scaring in my rectum and the chemicals in Fleets hurt like hell. I do take Colace stool softeners fairly often, but they are not laxatives.

Enemas over laxatives any day. Why take a laxative, put up with the cramps and gassy feeling and wait for who knows how long for it to work, if it works at all? And,if it works you never know when or where you'll be. An enema is guaranteed to work, it will work now, and I will be in the bathroom. The only laxatives I had was when got plugged up as a child and my mom would give me a dose of Milk of Magnesia as a first attempt to make me go. I would suffer through the cramps and general intestinal distress, usually with no success, only to have my mom get out the syringe and give me a soapsuds enema to get the desired results. At the time I didn't like laxatives or enemas, but times change.

No question, enemas. However, if I hadn't had an enema in some time, I might start with a few suppositories, let them do their magic and then finish with a series of enemas.

I used to do some oral laxatives a few years ago - but since I've gotten into enemas, they are all I do if I need to, and needing to isn't that often, I do enough of them that I don't stay constipated much anymore.

In my opinin they goes hand in hand

Enemas are dependable and active much faster than laxatives. Enemas relieve constipation in 30 to 45 minutes from beginning to end. Laxatives may take 5 - 6 hours to get relief.

I'm prefer enemas! With out doubt! But some times a laxatives it's good too
