Gas

Yes gas can be a big problem for us enema lovers. The trouble is that you may not be aware of gas in your system until you start the enema and then the cramps start. I have had on occasion a few of those uncomfortable cramps and thought what is going on? You have to try to pass the gas or take a gas pill before moving on. Trying various positions does seem to help where hips are elevated can let the gas make its way to the rectum and out.

The only advice is to be mindful of the foods you eat that cause gas and be aware that when you do an enema session there could be gas in your system.

I started taking coffee enemas as a weekend ritual - either Saturday or Sunday mornings. I currently hold them as my favorite enema. I've always done SSE's the night before and had no problem taking a quart of coffee, followed by a heated glass butt plug and retaining it for 30 or 40 minutes while I chat with my Zity friends.

On about my 4th weekend of this ritual, It was cold and rainy outside and I saw several friends in the chat room - so I was delighted, thinking this was going to be a perfectly blissful session.

About halfway through the quart of coffee, I felt some major discomfort in my gut - similar to Diane's original post. I stopped short, thinking maybe the coffee was somehow causing a reaction in my colon. I had a hard time holding it until I reached the toilet. Once I sat down, some of the coffee squirted out - followed by very loud and long expulsion of gas. My insides instantly felt better and the little bit of remaining coffee came out without incident.

Sadly there wasn't enough coffee left to make it worthwhile to continue, so I went ahead and did a 2 quart rinse.

Since then - regardless of how clean I feel inside - I start my coffee sessions with a 2 quart bag of plain water - taking only as much as feels comfortable. On more than one occasion, this first bag has chased out a hidden gas pocket that would have ruined my favorite enema. Once I've finished the plain water, I've not had any problems and the quart of coffee flows in fast and easy. Then I just let it do its thing. 😃

I have found that if I insert and take out a butt plug before starting on my enemas that I can release some, maybe most, of my gas and I feel better.

First small enemas like "housekeeping". So I avoid the problem of intestinal gas and then I surrender to the fun.

One of the worst ennemies of enemas is the telephone ringing at the wrong time!

Why answer the phone at the wrong time? 😉

Like so many others here, I have experienced intestinal gas occasionally. When I do have this problem, I have found that taking an enema usually is not the way to go... at least as long as I have gas present. To solve this problem, I, too, take 3 or 4 gas pills with a hot cup of coffee. Then I wait about 20 minutes before trying an enema. To get water above the gas pocket is a real pain.... something I do not enjoy...Gas pills, given time,, will, in most cases, dissolve the gas pocket.

Just turn the phone off...As then being engaged & the only receiver of anything incoming....you'll soon know when your number is up...that way you are off the hook.

Actually unless I'm having so much cramping that I can't talk, I find it very interesting to talk on the phone or text with someone while taking or holding an enema. It's just a very cool/"naughty" (and I never use that word!) feeling to be talking, trying to sound normal while filling or holding and the other person not knowing what I'm going through. Fascinating and fun. If something happens suddenly I can always say I'll call them back.

After taking an enema and releasing the solids and the liquids I find that I am somewhat gassy for the remainder of the day. Sometimes it just passes easily and quietly in small stages, but there are time when the opposite is true. It is probably a good reason why I don't schedule myself to do an enema before a major social event.

I guess I am a really slow drainer, and I also have a gassy feeling afterwards, which always brings to mind that old saying "never trust a fart"

Barking dog and ringing phone bother me the most. I hate talking on the radio phone for any length of time. So I keep a home phone. But when in the prep for an enema, I will forward the house to my cell phone, and just keep it close by. But when that dog goes berserk, I usually need to look into it ASAP.

Good story, Diane. Occasionally I have had a similar problem, but usually stop the enema and expel what is inside, then start again.

My biggest enemy is to hear the sound of a car's tires on the gravel driveway getting closer as whoever is coming gets closer and I am half full of a nice coffee enema that I want to hold for at least a half hour!

Just one time. I was taking a 3-qt Epsom Salt and soapsuds enema, in knee-chest position. The insertion, and injection went normal. I was using a 3-inch long applicator with a half-inch flare. Nothing I had not used before.

Just as soon as I got it all in, I almost lost the whole thing right there! No matter how I worked it was going to blow, like immediately. To buy myself another few minutes, I re-opened the valve, and almost immediately, first my abdomen, then the hose started vibrating and making a high pitched whining sound. I looked up at the bag, it looked like a pint or so had backed up into the bag, so I left the valve open, hoping it would run back in but the bulge in the bag continued. Things DID settle down, and I was able to do a normal 15 minute retention.Only thing unusual was that I burped several times.

When I really couldn't retain any longer, and I went to the toilet, I closed the valve, and headed for the toilet, with the applicator still in me.

When the expulsion came, it was gassy, and painful, and took a while to get everything out. When I went to re-fill the bag, I unsealed it, and it was COMPLETELY EMPTY! That bulge was just gas, which all came out when I loosened the stopper.

My first wife had MAJOR gas problems. That is how I was able to get her to let me give her enemas in the first place. The only enema she ever had was in labor and hated it, so she was very anti enema. She would gladly give me one but would not receive even though she had bad gas on a regular basis. We were on vacation and she woke me up in the middle of the night with gas pains so bad she begged to go to a hospital. We area in the middle of nowhere, about 1.5 hours from a hospital. I finally convinced her that I could give her an enema with my travel syringe and have relief quicker than the hospital. After all, they would just give her an enema anyway. So she laid down on the bathroom floor on her back and I finally got the entire bag in her. She farted up a storm on the toilet and felt much better. She slept like a rock. From then on she would ask me for an enema every couple of weeks or more often.

I, too, often had problems with gas while I was taking enemas. But, I found that if I take 2 or 3 little green gas tablets an hour or so prior to injecting my water with a cup of hot coffee I have no problem with gas. In fact, the water, be it salty, soapy water or hot Epsom salt water, flows gently into me filling all the nooks and crannies of my intestines. There is nothing like it, believe me.

My sub has complained when there is gas ahead of his enema solution. I've had to stop the enema a number of times to let things "settle" so I can finish off his bag. Sometimes he hates when I give him a morning enema and haven't let hiM "vent" off the gas first (his morning fart). I just grin and let the water chase it deeper.

There have also been a few times when he's been so gassy that I've given him an enema just to chase the gas out. Maybe it's more to help the gas "find it's way out". Those enemas have been gratefully appreciated by my sub.

Perhaps a worthy consideration with "Gas being the enemy of enemas" is that old fashioned "flatus tube" when it comes to flatulence..They closely resemble a rubber CT & were once the go to for alleviating gas issues...Can be quite fun too ...think of the possibilities...Slickened rubber tube....maybe one cotted finger (yum)...one primed up bum...stir in a bit of tickle n tease...ooooh !!..hard to beat a sweet looking derriere. Flatus tubes for gas problems are relatively easy to fabricate.....just choose a suitable FR diameter new or pre-loved product of chosen material...adapt to satisfy & away ya go...Literally !!....I'd Lay (lol) odds one wouldn't gripe about it either.... Kinda like a three in one deal.. The more you put into it the better the out cum.

[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 was browsing some older posts and I ran across this one. It has saved me from a lot of distress and I want to take this opportunity to Diane for posting it.

I am a life long klismaphile and I take enemas for both medical reasons but far more often for sexual pleasure. However, a few months ago I began to experience frequent episodes of constipation and upped the frequency of the enemas I took to relieve the problem.

A few months ago I made some changes in my diet. I cut out most carbs and meat and switched to eating a lot more veggies and fibrous foods. I believe this added a lot more bulk to my diet, resulting in frequent bouts of “tough shit” and difficulty defecating.

Taking more enemas was not necessarily a bad thing, but it did seem to result in an unfortunate effect; namely passing gas. Oddly, this did not usually occur immediately after the enema but after a few hours and much more the following day. This presented real problems because although I began to enjoy frequent enemas the copious farting subsequently was decidedly not pleasurable.

Then I ran across Diane’s post and I purchased some Simethicone and used it

Immediately. The reduction in gas production was astounding. Oh, I may produce a small fart or two the evening after I take an enema but nothing like the pre-Simethicone eruptions, so I take my hat off to Diane for sharing this valuable information! ?

AZDiane,

Way back at the beginning of this thread you said you were a multiple daily enema girl. After about 7-8 years since then, does that still apply? How many and how much do you take a day, and if so, are they for any sort of medical need or just for enjoyment? Thanks,

Eric

Like most boys growing up I really enjoyed farting. However, I did have to be careful when I might let one go because my mom always thought it was a good excuse to give an enema. I must have been 11 or 12 at the time and as a family we were watching TV. Without giving a second thought I cut one and it was not only noisy but had a bit of an stench about it. That was it, mom told me to meet her in the bathroom and soon I was on the receiving end of her red bag getting a good dose of warm soapy water that without a doubt cleaned me out good. That was the last time that I was careless about farting in the presence of family.

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

Oh, yes! The combination of air bubbles and water is very stimulating to the colon, and you will get strong cramping.

You can often do some positioning on the right side to cause the gas bubbles to rise up the transverse, then go to knee-chest

to get the bubbles to move up the descending colon to the sigmoid, and then quickly get on the toilet to expel the gas.

It is a little tricky to not have the bubbles end up back in the transverse when you move to the toilet.
