Nausea or vomiting while having Enemas

I have only gotten sick once and that was with 2qt m&m it was bad

I haven't thrown up, but I've been nauseated, particularly when my system was bloated and bound up with a lot of stuff that needed to come out. Sometimes enemas aren't all that pleasant. Detoxing with enemas, especially during an illness, can be accompanied by nausea, chills, sweating and/or lightheadedness. At least that's my experience at various times. I think it depends on what state physically and even mentally your body is in at the time. I'm not into painful enemas, so I try to think ahead and minimize the discomforts.

Obviously, it also depends on what type of enema you're taking and the solution you're putting into your colon. And, you should be smart and aware if you're doing enemas. They can disrupt your system's electrolytes; they can affect your digestive tract; they can affect your body's chemical balance; they can be harmful if you have certain medical conditions; they can cause major nausea, even vomiting, if you take them on a full stomach or force too much solution into you.

That's why if I'm genuinely sick and need a "good" enema or two to detox, my husband is a better giver than if I do solo. I'll have the discipline with him to focus on the process needed for a good cleanse than "playing around the with benefits," if you ladies know what I mean (and I know you do!).

I have experienced "throwing up" what appears to be enema water a couple of times, but not within the past several years. It was like I experienced about 30+ years ago when my wife and I visited her brother in New Orleans one week-end. He grilled ribs and within 7 hours, I became very nauseous and went out into his yard to vomit. I "threw up" what tasted and smelled like "poop". The abdominal cramps that accompanied the "throw up" were extreme. So, I know it is possible, to regurgitate contents from below. It is no fun and I do not think I'd advise it. Today, I do take large volume enemas nearly every day, and whether any of the fluid enters the small intestine, I do not know. The only time I get nauseated is when I haven't eaten and stomach acid builds up in the stomach itself. Also, no fun....My advise is to Be careful and know your limits.

I see we have some very knowledgeable people riding this site. Seriously it is comforting knowing there are people around who can give GOOD advice and are sincere. I believe the only time I have had a little nausea was when I tried to take too much. For me that's a little over 4 quarts. Any more than that and I get waves of nausea and have to quit. Since I don't like not getting my enemas, I never push my limits. I'm not smart enough to know what damage it would cause, so I just don't push it.

If I go over five quarts I will get sick ,I stick with four quarts if really cleaned out five quarts . But I have found that's my max or I will get sick and that's not my bag?

I have never experienced nausea and vomiting as a result of putting even 4, 5, or 6 quarts of plain tap water.

My best time for a enjoyable enema is after a bowel movement in the morning. start w. the shower shot several rounds with that. then start with a 2qt enema then work your way up to a 4 or 5 qts. this is a great way to start the day. you will feel good all day.

I've gotten sick and thrown up during an enema before. A couple of times, actually. I forget why but I don't think it was volume. Maybe soap or something else. I do remember that it passed fairly quickly and but still wasn't pleasant at all. The Iast incident happened a few years ago.

I've felt nauseous a few times when taking really (and I mean really) strong soap solutions. This only happened when for whatever reason, I wasn't able to expel fast enough or the enema got 'stuck'.

I managed to hold it down but it wasn't pleasant and I could easily have thrown up if I hadn't concentrated.

For the first time in my life, I vomited during an enema earlier this year. I should have know better. I had just eaten a good sized meal and had made the SSE pretty strong with soap. As I laid in the tub filling up, I threw up my supper, rinsed it down the drain with the running shower hose, then took the rest of the bag. I knew right away it was too much stimulation of my vagus nerve. Now, I only eat very light amounts of food before irrigating and use milder concentrations of soap.

Nausea yes, very rarely. I have never vomited during an enema and hope Im careful enough to never experience that. I only do plain distilled water enemas, I never use soap. I tend to wait until my body really needs need to intervene.

Generally, if you vomit, it's because you did not take the enema on an empty stomach.

The stomach empties part of it's contents into the small intestine about every 20 minutes, and the small intestine likewise empties part of it's contents into the large intestine at about the same interval, though usually not in sync.

As a result preparation is important. ALWAYS fast at least 8 hours, before taking an enema. Before you do a major cleanout, it is best to wait 12 hours if you can.

When I do a total system cleanout, I don't eat after lunch the day before. I knock off the alcohol after 3 PM and the caffeine after 6 pm

For lunch I eat WHAT I normally eat, but only half as much of it.

I don't normally vomit from an enema. Nausea is not unusual, but vomiting is. If I DO vomit, it is usually trying to get a bottle of Magnesium Citrate down. I have learned to kneel in front of the toilet when I have to do that.

Only kind of enema from which I DO sometimes vomit is a 4-qt strong soapsuds enema.

Wow, I'm learning so much from this thread. I tried to read thru and see if anyone else answered this yet, but didn't see it....

How "deep" is that for most people? I have a number of very longgg colon snakes and none of my bottoms have taken them all the way yet at all but, now I'm wondering how deep is too deep!

Think of the large intestine/colon as the old SLINKY TOY. Stretched out on a table it can be five to six feet long. Inside your abdomen, it lays over a length of three to maybe four feet in some with a tortuous colon.

See for yourself. Get an anatomy illustration of the large intestine, take a rubber hose and trace it over your or a friend's belly where the illustration shows it. You'll see the length it follows INSIDE your abdomen is much less than the lengths described in text books.

That is why you can't get the entire extra long tubes in.

PLEASE don't try to get the tubes past the ileocecal valve into the small intestine and don't listen to people who say they do it regularly. They are either lying or mistaken. Their hose is almost certainly folding over someplace inside the colon and they don't realize it--it isn't going into the small intestine. You can damage the ileocecal valve or puncture the colon. Like I said in my post, the gastroenterologist has a light and a camera on his scope. All you (or I) are doing is pushing in the dark. Don't over-do it. A punctured colon will guarantee you a colostomy bag, possible peritonitis and the potential for months of post-operative sequelae, problems and delayed healing or death, not to mention the colostomy itself and IF they feel it will even be reversible at a much later date you'll be in for more convalescence and healing time.

Haha, no urge to push past that area Susie! That's why I'm asking!

So would you say three feet is safe depth?

OR a better idea to judge based off of the area on the person, tracing as described?

PLEASE listen to moderator S. Susie! She is telling you exactly about the anatomy of the large bowel and how it varies from one person to the next.

Alice, trace a hose over the belly of your friend. That will give a rough idea of the length.

DON'T over-do it.

It won't be that different from person to person.

Also remember that the farther in you go, the more difficult it will be to advance the tube.

While I hate legalities, injuring someone that way could get you sued or have criminal charged levied. Be careful.

As with most S&M activities, it is far better to have wished for more than to have gotten too much.

I have never experienced nausea or vomiting during, or while having an enema. I have had nausea, and subsequent vomiting, after having used multiple enemas. In one instance, I had cleansed prior to a medical procedure. I was NPO until the time of the procedure, and had taken 2-3 enemas beforehand. After getting home, I took another large tap water enema for the fun of it. I was expelling and began feeling queasy. Shortly thereafter, I hurled. Recognizing the error of my ways, I hurriedly replenished my electrolytes with liquids, vitamins, and a couple of bananas.

I knew of the potential risks, but was too worked up to ignore the urge at that time. It was a mistake that I only made one other time over my 60 years of indulgence in my favorite pastime.

Multiple enemas/colonics can cause some electrolyte imbalances. It may relate to sodium levels, magnesium levels, dehydration, or water intoxication among other things. That is why we need to be cognizant of the issues and always be safe and sane with the solutions and quantities.

While there may be no verifiable health or medical benefit to our indulgences, the psychological rest, relaxation, stimulation, etc., is sure a source of some pretty simple pleasures. Enjoy a good enema for some shits and giggles, just don't overindulge to the point of harm!

Oh my, yes, I assure you I take this very seriously, hence why I'm asking for clarity/best practice! I appreciate this advice/input.

Taking multiple enemas quickly can deplete body potassium levels. I found this out after all my radiation and having BM's every 45 min. around the clock. One symptom of too little potassium is nausea. If it continues, you get cardiac arrhythmias. I've been in the ER 4 times from dehydration and potassium depletion. They always did the same things; a liter of KCL in one I.V. and a liter of D5W in the other arm. The only time I vomited from one enema was when I had consumed a very large dinner beforehand. Guess it was from too much stimulation of the vagus nerve.

You can get nausea and vomiting of the lower intestine by having "retrostalsis", where the normal peristalsis goes in reserve and intestinal content moves backward. You can taste bowel content and odor. This happened to first wife during last trimester of pregnancy. I gave her a large volume enema to try to force peristalsis to resume naturally and her OB-GYN gave her an Rx for Phenergan suppositories. It worked.

Now when I take a bag full I always precede it by eating a small snack, like peanut butter crackers. Eating bananas or dates also contain goodly amounts of potassium. Nothing beats a potassium supplement like K-Lyte, Clortabs, but these are only available by Rx.

I have vomited in the past from taking enemas, but only if I add too much soap, hang the bag too high, or take the enema abnormally fast.

Every time I read one of the enema related boards in Zity.Biz I am amazed at the ignorance of people. There are comments on this topic that are just plain wrong.

Let's start with the colon tube comment and the ileocecal valve, and small intestine. Since the average length of the colon is 5 feet, you are not going to find colon tubes long enough to reach the valve. Even if by some miracle you did, you would not be able t force the tube through. You are pushing on the end of a 5 foot tube, it is more likely to fold over and kink. Also. The comment about colonoscopies is wrong, the doctor does not push the scope into the small intestine.

It is not necessary to fast for days before taking an enema. In fact, it is not necessary to fast at all. I regularly take large volume enemas on a full stomach.

The person who recommended taking 4, 5, or 6 quart enemas in the morning before work has obviously NEVER TAKEN AN ENEMA IN HIS LIFE!!! Enemas that large will invariably result in some liquid being retained and you will be peeing every few minutes for hours. One of the functions of the colon is water absorption. Waste enters the colon in liquid form and the water is absorbed by the colon until the waste is solidified near the end resulting in the nice firm feces we all expect. So any water left in the colon will result in excessive peeing. Plus I suspect the poster is another of the bullshitters who try to impress people with his supposed capacity prowess.

Basically vomiting is caused either b too much in your stomach or just overdoing it on the enema itself.

I have had a bit of nausea from large quantities of strong solutions, especially if you've recently eaten. I've also vomited from Susie's Very Rough Ride, but that is a VERY strong solution with lots of soap, glycerin and bisacodyl.

Occasionally happened for me in my earlier years with enemas ('60s/'70s) when using solutions that were too strong, too large, or both. The most recent time was several years ago, when I took a one-quart M&M enema using a retention nozzle to hold it a mere five minutes. Everything was fine, until I began expelling it - then all hell broke loose. Fortunately, the bathroom tub was close enough to lean into.

In 50+ years of enemas up to five quarts, never had the slightest nausea or vomiting, but I also use fairly unstimulating solutions. I've certainly had my share of gut-wrenching cramps and irritation and rarely accidents, but all down in my abdomen, never in the upper tract.

I am new at enemas. My play dr is really into enemas and gives me plain tap water enemas with some salt and soda in them and I cant take much at all, so he puts tubes in me about 6 to 10 inches, no problem, and lets it drip in slow. I can only take a third or half a bag at a time, then I cant hold it anymore and I go let it out. Rest a few mins and he gives me several more like this , I feel a little 'sick' but not bad and drink mineral water as he gives me the enemas. He gives me about 4 small half a bag enemas with a rest in between drinking mineral water. Havent had problems. But was afraid it would make me sick. I had a colonic irrigation once before colonoscopy which got me clean. That was 45 mins of constant flushing water in and out but as like with the enemas, as soon as it feels full I want to let it out and not try and hold it because that makes me feel kind of sick which isnt pleasure to me.

The full feeling doesnt turn me on either. The insertion and taking it out slowly is a turn on and being placed in a submissive position, and feeling embarassed/humilated somehow in a strange way turns me on. Having enemas scares me. He uses a very small tube which can get in all the way about 2 feet with now problem, dripping in water as it goes, then advancing more, and more water a little at a time dripping in . At the same time, it feels like someone is caring for me and it feels nurturing , like being a kid again and taken care of which never happens to me. I am a macho guy, very independent, lalways taking care of family etc, not used to anyone doing anything for me or caring for me. I' d rather have frequent repeated slow insertions and tube slowly taken out with small amounts of water each time. We never use anything but tap water with some salt and baking soda. Have not had any problems and it suits me well this way so far.

Hi, im 23 years old and usually do enema to clean my gut, but sometime i use to much water to enema and it make me feel sick and vomiting. So I wanna ask if i use too much water to enena will i burst or just vomiting the water out of my stomach? Im just curious

Unless you have an issue with weak intestines or use stupid enemas (too much pressure) there shouldn't be an issue. It's just that barfing isn't enjoyable for most people. You really don't need to use that much water either.
