Gas

I'm a multiple daily enema girl, and it's unusual for me to be unable to get a full bag of water into me. But yesterday I encountered that problem, and after trying a couple of times unsuccessfully, I recognized that I had to have a gas bubble up there. If it had been a hard fecal mass I would have already been in great discomfort from it. Nor was this a great all-abdominal bloating. It was just a small pocket of gas, which I think was compressing when the water pushed on it. It in turn pushed on the colon wall with discomfort.

Gas is a product of digestion, no less than the smelly brown stuff. I couldn't think of anything I'd eaten that was particularly gassy, but something did it to me. A couple of extra-strength Gas-x pills and some gentle abdominal massage with a little patience got it out of me, and the rest of the day was fine.

I guess my reason for posting about this is to remind us all, especially the newcomers to our sport, that if the water isn't going in easily, something is wrong. A normal enema should flow in without resistance, and if we encounter resistance up there there is a very good probability that there is a gas blockage. Water will dissolve feces, but not gas. Simethicone works wonders to get the gas out.

Anybody else discover gas to be the culprit when an enema won't go in easily?

Hugs,

Diane

Actually, I consider myself still as a newbie when it comes to enemas. But to be honest, I have had that happen more than a few times, especially with the colon issues I had there for a bit this year.

I have to admit, encountering a gas pocket is rather painful, whether you are taking an enema or just have it rumbling around inside you. During that time I often had them really bad up under my rib cage making breathing not only difficult, but very painful as well.

My solution for this, and it works very well and usually pretty quick is to put myself in knee/chest position, meaning head down, butt up, and doing a little massage to my abdomen. Hot air rises, gas is hot air. So it makes sense that putting your tush in the air will cause the gas to head that way, towards your lower colon, then out your bottom. A little embarrassing perhaps if you are not alone, but it works. And forewarning, producing gas in this manner will not produce the normal girly poots, but often times will or might produce manly farts, you know, the stinky loud farts. Oddly enough, I have a whole med cart at my disposal with just about any sort of med like that I would want on it for a situation such as this, for example, gas X, gas ban, simethicone, tums, and mylanta, but sometimes when you are feeling like this, relief can't come soon enough.

Trust this nurse, knee/chest position works wonders for this, and soon you will be able to get you back on track to your enema playing sessions comfortably. Try it out a few times and let me know if it works for you, or what your thoughts are about this position. And hey, if you are into the embarrassment factor, well it's a double win for you, lol.

The other thing I have found that helps a little bit, and it's really hard to do when you are hurting is to relax. I know I know, easier said than done right? Also a hot water bottle/enema bag applied to your belly can also help that out a little bit from what I understand.

But good luck, and trust me when I tell you, I know how you feel.

IT'S ACTUALLY THE LUBRICATION. TOO MUCH GAS CAN DRY OUT THE RECTUM.

A SMALL AMOUNT of KY Jelly or vitamin-E oil ON THE NOZZLE should solve the problem

A little embarrassing perhaps if you are not along, but it works. And forewarning, producing gas in this manner will not produce for us women some of our quite quite littly girly toots, sadly enough, this will produce man farts, stinky farts and not only will you provide you with much needed comfort, they are usually sound and stinky, warm, and sometmies a litter wetter than more women would care to admit to liking. Oddly enought, I have a whole med cart at my disposal with just about any sort of med like that I would want on it, gas X, gas ban, simethicone, turms, mylanta, tums and I could go on and on, but I am sure they help aid in the process, but it still needs someplace to vent out of which would be your fanny sticking strait up in the air. Trust this nurse, it works wonders that way and quickly as well while in the end will be able to get you back on track to your enema playing sessions comfortably. Try it our a few times and let me thing what your thought are about this position. Did it work for you or not? Do tell. It's worth a shjot anywas and won't coslt you a scent exacty a little bit of embarassment if there are other around watchig you lol. But trust me it will work for you unless you have some serious bowel blockage issures gpomg on up in side you to worry. YOu will be just fime. Trust me,You will be. Nurses honor. You will be perfectly fine. THe key to a lot of enema taking and in receiving them is to just be able to relx while gettin or receovomg them and appreciating the chance to be in that situation to start with, not everyohne can, is will, or wants to you know.

Mashie, were you masturbating or getting it on and finally having your orgasm as you were finishing your post?

The beginning started just fine, but you had more typos in the last paragraph than your previous 1000 posts! 😁 😁 😁 😁

Years ago after sugery I had a very bad gas problem in the hospital. What they did to releive it was to give me a rectal tube. It was an empty red enemas bag with a standard black nozzle. The bag was wraped with a warm towel.The nurse would insert the nozzle like she was giving me an enema. Then I would just lie there for about 30 or 40 minutes.

Looks like Mashie was typing one handed again.... Where were the other fingers? Inquiring minds need to know! 😳

Susie, lol. I was rereading my post today before I got to your post and as I was reading it I was thinking to myself, geeze, that's so bad.

Then I got to your post where you pointed out most of them. And thank you by the way for doing so. Believe it or not, I greatly appreciate that.

Needless to say, that would be the result of a few things, dyslexia, melatonin, and exhaustion. LOL. I really need to learn better bedtime hygene, take sleepy med and go to bed, not take sleepy med and answer posts. lol.

I am going back to correct that right now.

And I only wish I could use masturbating as an excuse, but I think I was even too tired to do that last night, lol.

"take sleepy med and go to bed, not take sleepy med and answer posts"

Thanks for your sweet response, Mashie. And thank you for letting us laugh with you. When I read your post this morning, at first I hought it was me and maybe I just needed to let the coffee hit bottom!

And thanks for the tip about the knee-chest position.

Hugs,

Diane

You are most welcome Diane. I am glad that I gave you a bit of a laugh today. I think I gave myself one too actually. Oy Vey.

Well I hope it works for you. Good luck, and hugs back.

I thought maybe the typos were retained for punning purposes - "doesn't cost a scent", followed by words that are this close to being "shit" and "pong"

You would probably do better if it were a OTK enema. My "K" is always available to you. 🌹

Gas should pass without any problem. if not. you may have a kink in you colon

Recently, a Colon Hydrotherapist gave me a ten second injection then drained it. She told me that that small amount of water, was to clear low gas. That's what it did! I have been experimenting with the idea and inject between ten and sixteen ounces of water before my enema and then expel. I find that two things happen and they are:

1. Gas does indeed get expelled and cramping seems to be minimized.

2. The sigmoid colon opens and a colon tube passes much easier.

What is your experience?

An enema a day keeps the doctor away.

An enema a day keeps the doctor at bay!

A small enema is very efficient at clearing gas or stool that is built up in the rectal vault. This does permit filling the colon without much resistance that may result in premature cramping or expulsion. I will often use a bulb syringe for a couple of quickies before crawling in the tub for a much more effective series of soapy or large volume enemas.

I have made a number of appointments for colon hydrotherapy to resolve some constipation issues while I was on the road. Two of those therapists injected smaller quantities, with me in a Sim's position, to clear out any gas and impacted stool prior to the regular colonic. I believe many hydro-therapists suggest taking an enema as a prep for a colonic if one is constipated. This likely applies to being distended from gas also.

Good idea, Will have to try that the next time.

I find that if I take one or two gas pills and then drink a cup of hot coffee or two and wait about an hour before taking an enema, I have no gas problem and I fill easily.

An enema prep for a colonic is great when impacted or "gassy," but the only therapist who recommended it to me without being asked was elderly and well informed about the benefits of enemas for her family and a few close friends. I try to follow her advice for a better colonic.

Yesterday dawned the perfect day for me to play enemas by myself. Hubby was off for a short business trip before the sun rose, I had the shopping and laundry caught up, and a light breakfast inside me. Time to play!

First I took three or four little in-and-out squirts of water while on the toilet, just to empty anything that might be down low. Then I retired to my bed, put down a waterproof sheet and covered it with a towel, and set up my nice new amber travel bag hanging from the IV pole close beside the bed. I set up a "trickle clamp" on the hose so I could get a very slow rate of flow. I lay down on my left side, pulled my legs into a Sims position, inserted the noz, and opened the clamp. Ahh, a sweet enema, all mine, for me.

It initially flowed slowly and easily, taking about ten minutes to trickle the bag to half-empty. And then suddenly, I was overtaken by a high-up painful cramp! This wasn't the kind of broad sweeping cramp that morphs into an orgasm, this was a hurty ouch damnit cramp. I had great trouble retaining the quart I had in me to make it to the toilet, where it came out with a violence and brought with it a big gassy fart.

That was my clue. I took two Gas-X pills with a glass of water,and worked another Gas-X up into my rectum, and waited. In less than ten minutes I had the sensation of needing to poop out more water, but when it came it was mostly just gas, a very long intermittent fart from way up high.

The next slow enema trickled in without incident,and I chose to follow it with another, four total quarts that made me look thirty weeks pregnant. When it came out it brought quite a lot of brown stuff from way up high, but very little gas.

Intestinal gas is the enemy of enemas! For all practical purposes water is an incompressable substance. Air (and/or methane) is not, and when squeezed by the enema water can produce seriously hurty pressure against the intestinal wall.

Anybody got any "gas ruined my enema" stories?

Hugs,

Diane

You are right: "Intestinal gas is the enemy of enemas!" - In this cases I prefer to swallow 2 oz Castor Oil, this early in the morning, not having breakfasted. In cleansing the bowels in this manner you will not have any problems with intestinal gas.

I will have to try the Gas-X. Like you, I have had the experience of not being able to get past a certain point on a bag, and just have to let it out and start over. Almost always I am gassy when that happens. I try to have a good pee and good fart before starting, but sometimes the gas is too high up to come out until after the first enema. I think my mom was aware of this too because I remember that she never insisted on continuing if I complained of cramps. She would let me expel whatever I had in me and we started over if she didn't think I had enough. I think that is why even today I prefer several small enemas to one big one.

Diane,

Funny thing you should mention that!!!! That's why I usually take my enemas lying on my back with a pillow under my butt elevating my hips!!! ......GAS!.....Also route the tubing "above" your butt so it goes upward towards the bag. As the water goes in and hits the "air pocket"* the air will flow upward to the rectum, get to the nozzle and with a "WOOSH" you have a major "Gas Eruption" in your bag!! 'Sure feels good to get the gas out though!!!! Try it!!

With a "WOOSH!!,"

highwater

* (Air Pocket) what "Non Aviators" call In Flight Air Turbulence!! eg, "we hit an 'Air Pocket!!'"

Diane, The simethicone in the Gas X you took orally broke up the small bubbles in your stomach and essentially merged them into one large one which proceeded through your digestive tract and out via your anus. Along the way it picked any other gas bubbles along the way.

And yes, all of us who do enemas have encountered the gas blockage a few times.

Highwater's trick make sense to me as a way to avoid the problem.

I usually stick my butt high up in the air once I have inserted the nozzle. Then I'll pinch the hose with one hand and open the valve with the other. This allows any air pockets that have gathered at the top to escape via the enema hose. Then it's just a matter of coaxing the air up and into the bag. I usually do this in front of a mirror to make sure I get all the air out and because of the position this puts me in, it actually looks kinda hot.

Diane, when I feel gas pressure while taking an enema, (usually on my back), I first roll onto my left side and let the water move past the gas, then back on my back and let things settle again then finally on my right side to fill the ascending colon. The multiple positioning lets the water flow past the gas and the gas move "up".

Diane,

I had a similar experience last week during one of my "sessions". I had a degree of "fullness" before the enema but attributed it to really needing an enema. Not so. It was gas and the resulting cramps were akin to being cut in half!

Needless to say, the expulsion was explosive...and the relief that I was seeking came in a short time.

You are so right...gas is the enemy of a good and enjoyable enema!

Deb

I have experienced that on many occasions! Several times, I have prepared an enema, purged the air from the tube and nozzle, inserted the nozzle, opened the clamp, and waited as the enema wouldn't start flowing! After a short period, the enema would start and I would begin to feel an immediate fullness and slight cramping. I have also found that taking Gas-X before the enema, does help. The only problem with that, is that most of my enema fun is spontaneous and not planned out, so there is little time for the stuff to work.

I have found that if I put in a large butt plug and wiggle it around before I begin my enema, I will release a lot of gas.

Ive found gas when i get the need to have a bm, im usually either constipated or got the trots. so when i get to feel the need to go, i find im more full of farts than poop, and i spend a lot of the day feeling like i need to go again real soon, but if i sit down and try........nothing.

There was a time when Flatus tubes were used to alleviate gas.
