Gas after enema

Last evening I gave myself a series of 3 enemas with baking soda and salt for the second and third, with soapy water for the 1st one. I was able to hold the last two for about 15 minutes each. One problem I noticed was about an hour after the last one, I had so much gas that my stomach was distended and was very very gassy.

I was out in public and tried to hold in the gas, but my sotomach was doing flip flops. I excused myself to the bathroom and let some escape, but the volume of gas really surprised me...I couldn't hold one in and let it escape. hopefully nobody heard me. Has this ever happened to any of my enemates. Only one was a little squishy.

Darivs 😮

Darvis: May well have been what you had eaten before. Could be that with the 3 washouts you got your small bowel to empty itself and it may have had lots of gas in it. You might try either salt,OR soda, not both, also how strong & irriatting was your soap solution. Do you have any colon problems, like IBS, colitis,etc. A disturbance of the gut flora, like what some antibiotics can do, can cause a lot of gas.

I get pseudomembranous colitis often with a course of antibiotics, due to radiation burns. This allows my clostridium difficele to go wild in multiplying and I have to do a course of Flagyl and I follow up with tap water rinses to expell as much gut bacteria as I can quickly. If you are taking antibiotics for respiratory, sinus, cardiac,dermatologic, or dental infections, you could be experiencing something similar. Or, you could just do another 1-2 enemas to get the gas out.

Not unusual for the first week or so after a cleanout.

I would have considered that a wonderful side effect of the series since discomfort and/or embarrassment are what I enjoy giving my sub (sub may have been like you darvis and not enjoyed the gas).

I am going to suggest that what you ate was just passing through the system a bit more quickly. But maybe someone who knows the internal workings of the body will be able to tell you a better answer.

Thank you Miss Stress. MMMMMMMHHHHH sounds nice...coming from you..or should I say cuming from you. 😄
