"Report" - Sodium Phosphate home reciept.

I received my order of 16 ounces of Sodium Phosphate from the company in the URL. It's used in preparing meats and cheese ... I didn't know that !

A Fleet Enema contains 6 grams sodium phosphate per 100 mL solution. One teaspoon of granulated white sugar = 4.2 grams. The consistency is about the same so I added one and a half teaspoons to a 2 quart enema solution at about 103' degrees. Slowing took the entire enema. Nothing .... but in about twelve minutes, whammo ... it began to do it's magic. My understanding is the fleet enema is about a half a cup and just works the last portion of the bowel. Prepared in a two quart enema it fills much more of the colon. Voiding was pleasant because the peristalsis was quick and complete. I don't think I will do these as often as other enemas but it's definately on top of my list for a great enema expericance. Anybody else have similiar experinces with these powdered sodium phosphate products. I might add it is hugely economical. My $10.58 purchase should last many years.

I'm no expert or doctor here ............. but I'm going to recommend not using that stuff.

Just a few years back, doctors were prescribing Visicol tablets. These tablets were a concentrated sodium phosphate, for cleansing the bowels in prep for a colonoscopy.

Several tablets were to be taken orally with a lot of water over a period of time.

There has been litigation from people using this, and I think the FDA pulled this from the shelves.

It's my understanding that some people suffered acute phosphate nephropathy (renal failure) ............ among other problems.

Although the problems are primarily created from oral dosage in strong concentration, there is also info out there about taking the Fleet 4oz. enema.

And you're taking 64 ounces of it rectally. That solution is going up pretty high and is covering a lot of surface area in your intestines.

I highly recommend you do some research before you go any further.

While Fleets PhosphoSoda is off the market, the two prescription Sodium Phosphate based products, Visicol® and Osmoprep® are still on the market. The problems with Sodium Phosphate are related to insufficient fluid intake, so that the sodium phophate ingested was grossly hypertonic. The concentration of phosphate in the urine got too high because there wasn't enough water ingested, and the solubility product for calcium phosphate was exceeded, causing calcium phosphate crystals to form inside the kidneys with diasterous consequences.

However the dose of Sodium Phosphate/Sodium Biphosphate in a single fleet enema is isotonic in about 1.3 liters of water, so taking it in 2 liters of water is probably pretty safe. The colon is pretty good at aborbing water.

The amount used was equal to emptying 1 fleet into two quarts water. My experiance was more plesent than two ounces of Dr.Bonners. The Sodium Phosphate used was "Food Grade" so what difference does it make which end it goes in? I think I'd rather empty it out in 12 minutes than to allow it into my digestive system to be absorbed to who knows where. But I do appreciate your concern.
