"Recovery" after enema session

Often I encounter problems like gases, abnormal appetite,tiredness after very complete emptying of bowels. Good feelings of lightness and cleanliness of course are effects attained by many enemas,but after couple of hours" good vibrations" are gone. I would like to hear from other people, how you manage to transfer your bodies from "enema mode" to "normal mode".

If I do my enemas in the morning cleaning effect is better, but the day itself is quite lost, on the other hand if I start in evening when human body is tired of day, achieve good effect from the same enema procedures is much harder but nights

sleeping regains much power and side effects are less to concern( if only plenty of trips to toilet....)

After enema session I usually do not eat at least 2 hours but drink plenty of plain water or herbal teas and if I go to sleep I warm my stomach with warm hotwater bottle if I feel it necessary .

So, any experiences?

P.S. Sorry if this theme is already discussed, forum is so crowded with topics that I couldn't find what I'm interested in.

Ditto on evacuating completely and hydration with plenty of H2O and some Gatorade.

Afternoon nap after a morning session plays well as does a good night's sleep after an evening session.

It does take most of the rest of the day after a system cleanout. Basically it's the first couple of hours to let the last of the laxatives wear off,and get some Gatorade or Pedialyte into you, to restore the electrolytes then eat something but not too much, and then you can do most things, just not too far from the toilet. Sometimes another pint of soapsuds can still come out. I make sure to wear a girdle just to push my bowels back into shape. I do pretty much everything I would normally do, just not too fast at first,increasing the pace gradually, and never getting too far from the toilet for the first 4 hours.

After a complete cleanout I find that I have sexual needs that need to be taken care of. Once all is done I drink liquids and move around to get normal bowl rithems started again. I to will have a problem with gas, but this is normal. If you have a procedure in the hospital many times the passing of gas is what the doctors look for before they will release you.

I take just one enema in a session, 2–2.5 litres of soapy water. Recently I’ve done this before breakfast once or twice a week. It cleans out the colon pretty well, with a reliable caecal flush. I use a bedpan to expel, so I can lie on my back the whole time. After I’ve finished expelling (anything from 10 to 30 minutes), I move the bedpan out from under and just lie quietly for ten or fifteen minutes. That’s all the recovery I need, and after that I’m ready for the day (though the day begins with a clean-up!).

Thank you all for your experiences, Lisa's is of most use for me for this time!

Probably manhoods biggest problem is lack of sense when enough is enough. Of course, I agree that after couple of enemas there is no difficulties to return to normal life, but who can stop after merely "couple"?! Especially if all this stuff is deadly close linked with sexual pleasure( worse still when, as in my case, I have no one to share my interests), then 6 to 8 hours full of hard enema action seems less than enough and factors like morning comes with job to resume or my

anal orifice plainly saying" You bast...d, I have legal right to have THE REST" come in concern.

One of my last observations is that avoiding almost proverbial soapsuds and use of salty water, plain water or water with lemon juice allows for lighter "hangover",so to say. Taking in account how much water goes in to my colon during all those

"Enemic games"(could be up to 40 litres(european) average in one event) I should be dead of messed up electolitic balance but nope, here I am, gases and depressed mood my worst enemies. Off topic but roots of words "enema" and "enemy" sounds convincingly the same for my foreigners ears!?

Anyway thanks for any forthcoming comments and experiences!

And KISS to Lisa...

Does anyone ever got hemmoroids after a big enema session? This was a recent development, and I've never had to deal with this before. How long until they go away on thier own? Just wanted to check with the knowledgable folks here...

I need at least an hour after all the expelling has been done. Enemas can be very exhausting and more than just physically draining!

If I don't expel thoroughly, I get bloated and cramped during the rest of the day. So it is better to sit on a toilet, massage, push, walk around and bend over just to get all out.

I treat one of my large enemas as if I were training for an olympic event. One builds up to high capacity and the quality of the experience is one which when every detail is given to learning how, a remarkable event awaits you. Sometimes I even surprise myself. But for a beginner, low and slow are the operative words. I promise you that you will achieve any goal you set for yourself.

But don't forget to reward yourself after a hard workout. Enemas can be very draining especially when the setting is less than perfect. I prefer candle light and soft music. And after the blessed event I will reward myself with flowers or a box of chocolate and a fine wine. Makes me always look forward toward the next session. Sharing the experience with a special friend can often have the bonus of jump starting a romantic relationship of sorts. There are few intimacies which come close to this sort of intimacy and that can go far in aiding a fast recovery..

Hemorrhoids mean only one thing - you were straining too hard to get the enema out. Hemo's will only go away on their own if you don't bear down too hard when evacuating over a considerable period of time. Better to wait around for the last of an enema to make its way to the exit instead of trying to force yourself to finish off quickly.

The first enema is quite nice. elemating the poo a 2 3 4 enema is needed to rid the toxins from your body. this done you will feel better all day. clean refreshed and full of vim and vigor.

It takes anywhere from a few hours to the better part of a day, During that time, whether or not you eat, there is still a few ounces of enema left inside you, and it WILL come out, whether you want it to or not!!

Do you mean it will LEAK out or you have a toilet nearby to purposely expel it?

This is a good subject to discuss and share experiences, because the immediate after effects of an enema cleanse are not always fun and games. You need to be sensitive to what your body is telling you, and don't ignore the feelings. Health and "recovery" during or after an enema session are important. Let me put some thoughts together on this from experience and return soon with a follow up post. I'm not a health professional, but I have received sound advice from nurses who are.

For me, the "recovery" takes the time to clean my equipment and hang it to dry.

I can take a series of relaxing enemas and masturbate a few times over an hour or more OR take a quick two and a half quart enema and a shower and be ready to leave the house in 20 minutes. Sure, it's nice to lay around and enjoy the glow, but if I have things to do, I'm getting out to do them.

I guess I include myself in those who do not experience any negative effects after my enema sessions. The vast majority of the time I do expel all of the last enema within 15 minutes of the last injection and often never have a delayed expel. I do experience that subdued lighter feeling in my bowels after an enema for the rest of the day if I do my enemas in the morning.

I would say if you are having negative effects like gas and cramps you may want to experiment with doing smaller less enema fills and see if that makes a difference. Maybe that will reduce the ill effects. If you can't expel all of the enema soon after you have finished, I would recommend staying on your feet and walking around the house so as to let gravity take effect and get the last bit of liquid down into your rectum.

Everybody has their own learning curve when doing enemas and sometimes it just takes time and experimentation to find just the right way to do them so you get the desired outcome from your body.

I am with those who usually do not need an extended recovery after a good enema. Sometimes, if I have had several enemas in a series, the last one may be slow coming out completely. After waiting and walking around for about 15 minutes I give myself a small shot of pure glycerin, and it seems to kick-start my gut to expel any remaining. It is rare for me to retain so much that I need the toilet later. Sometimes there is a bit coming down later but I can hold it and in time it absorbs.

Switchablesusie:

I ALWAYS get one strong obviously enema-induced expulsion a few hours later. As long as I get to the toilet, it comes out like any other enema expulsion. If I can't/don't leaking is a possibility.

For those of us who have "sessions", the response is different from person to person. The recovery times differ, and the solution to left over water is quite different, as noted in this posting. Everyone has their own way of dealing with it. For myself, like Lisa, there is always some water left over. What I do, after a 6-7 bag session is wait an hour or two, continuing my daily routines, and once the rumblings start, I will take another 2-3 qt. enema and the expulsion usually takes the leftovers with it. The only downside seems to be the fact that my intestines take several hours to return to their normal size. Three quarts of water is a pretty big stretch for me.

My doctor encourages me to rest before, during and after my enemas. He says that the more relaxed I am the easier the procedure will be for the both of us. I don’t watch my enemas either, I had to close my eyes.

A final enema of six teabags of mint steeped in a pint of hot water for 15 minutes and added to cool water to make a liter to liter and a half total enema plus 2 ounces of pure vegetable glycerin added to it will get rid of any gas. I sometimes insert a capsule or two of acidophilus into my rectum and, using my 6 oz. bulb syringe inject some warm water to dissolve the capsules. I do this at bedtime, the quantity is small so all the enema gets absorbed while I am sleeping. This replenishes the good bacteria in the colon.

Overall it' better to cool your heels and not do anything very strenuous for 3-4 hours after the enema and let your system recover!

Doesn't have to shut you down all day but don't head right to the gym, or to the Chili Bowl for at least 3-4 hours

I usually do not require recovery time beyond a few minutes which probably contributes to my enjoyment and how frequent I indulge in my private pleasure. Most times the amount retained after an enema is small and can be retained until absorbed if not close to a toilet. There are exceptions. The more I do in a series the more I retain, so if I have had a series the last one may leave more behind needing to stay close to a toilet for an hour. I do experience a bit of tummy rumbling for a while. I take enemas because I like them so a long recovery or residual problems would surely cause me to reduce frequency or quantity.

Ditto Cheryl77177, No recovery time. I wait until there's 'nothing left' up there. Rarely have a surprise later. Absorbed and urinated out later.

I usually take soapsuds first and a water rinse (or two).

Always better after the expulsions. 😃

For me, there is usually no extra recovery time necessary. As some have indicated, after expulsion, I usually clean and care for my equipment and put it in it's usual place. That's about all the extra time required. I may have a final squirt on the toilet after moving around, but this is certainly manageable any time of the day or night.

While I prefer not to indulge in a large meal right after, there are those occasions that it is advantageous to empty out and make way for additional intake. If invited to lunch or dinner after an indulgence, I don't find that an enema interefered.

I have previously mentioned that a smaller cold enema usually assures that I've emptied any residual solution.

Usually there's not much recovery, but sometimes if I'm really constipated I get extremely hungry after and eat a bunch.

Sometimes my bowels aren't cooperating and it takes a while to get everything out.

Oddest issue was one time where I had some visual artifacts in one eye for a half hour. Never had it before so it might not have been enema related, especially ask was also sick at the time. It was kind of like when you stare at a light and there's a dancing white spot.

I don't really have a set time, and no two enemas are exactly alike, but typically I am "up and around" in 2-3 hours. I can eat SOMETHING in about 3 hours, and a full meal in 4-6 if I avoid overly spice or fatty food.

3-4 hours before that last pint or so of fluid passes out of my system

6-9 hours before I really feel just like I did before I started the enema.

It takes about 36-48 hours before I can really get a close to normal poop again

A minimum of 4 weeks better 6 before I use any other laxatives, or enemas again That is uncomfortably often for bisacodyl, but I will occasionally do it

The one thing I am after an enema is hungry. As to a recovery time, there’s never been one. Enemas have always made me feel better.

I am curious about this and have written similar comments elsewhere. i suspect a lot of this has to do with the types and frequency of enemas one is getting. Our bowel, gut, is home to a vast micro biome that we live in symbiosis with. For many that micro biome may consist of some non beneficial bacteria (lots of recent evidence/science on the types of gut microbiomes), others may have more beneficial bacteria to begin with (people who eat a lot of plant based fiber). Most enemas are like antibiotics in that they are indiscriminate about what they remove. Soap sud enemas are known for their irritating component and i'd expect they result in an inflammatory response. So, an enema can be a double edged sword, taking out the 'bad' and the 'good' bacteria. Part of "recovery" would be the recovery of that biome and how it recovers depends on what it is fed.
