Constipated? What works best for you?

Mmmmm ! gotta be the "urge to purge"---The classic express variety soapy (Good Enema)2 &1/2 Quarts....Skip the salt,select choice nozzle,& enjoy /savour the moment !!.....Do the download thing and repeat (bonus option) where necessary--usually do !..... Saline clean.......Done good ! -- That blast from the past never fails.........Relief from grief..Yeah !

I have never seen the sense of putting something in the mouth to work the butt at an unpredictable time when you can put something up the butt that works immediately. And it feels soooo good!

Enemas are the best. As admcnabb posted, I cannot see putting something in my mouth to eventually work in my butt when I can put something in my butt that works immediately and does not upset my stomach or contain harmful chemicals. When there is a problem going, do a water enema, and within 15 minutes the problem is solved.

Hi Amy K. You should try suppositories occasionally instead of your daily enemas. You can have fun inserting them, (using KY for a lube), and retaining them while doing other things, (like reading Zity). You will have as much time as you can retain the suppositories, say 15 minutes to an hour, depending on your determination.

Try using one glycerin and one bisacodyl suppository first unless you want to be daring or you feel very constipated, then try two of each. The urge will begin within 15 minutes and build and build until you give in and head for the toilet. You will be surprised at the results.

You may find the sensation of the suppositories working inside you very stimulating and might try masturbating while holding the suppositories.

Good luck.

I rarely use enemas for other than fun. For constipation try canoeing! seriously, there is something about the colon and side stretching.

Laxitives take too long, if I am constipated, I a miserable, and an enema gives quick relief. With an enema, I don't have to worry if it will work, they always do. With a laxitive, you are always wondering if it will work, and sometimes it will decide to work at the worst possible moment. So an enema is always the best possible choice for me.

Msg 28, "ricini"

Ricini might be funny, if not so ridiculous and somewhat dangerous.

If you want to mix saliva with anything, especially something as unpleasant tasting (for most of us) as castor oil, you spit into a container, pour in the castor oil and...watch them not mix.

Saliva doesn't digest castor oil. Saliva digests starch. You can demonstrate this by placing a peice of regular (not sweet) bread into your mouth and sucking on it. Eventually it will turn sweet. That is the starch-splitting enzyme, ptalin in saliva, splitting the tasteless sugar polymer (starch) from the bread into simple (sweet) sugar.

To split (digest) fat, in the body, you need the enzyme lipase. Lipase is produced in the small intestine. But lipase can't get at the fat without help. That is the purpose of bile. Bile, sent into the small intestine via the bile ducts from the gall bladder, makes the fat able to connect with water, which carries the lipase. (Btw, it is the alkaline bile that dissolves the enteric coating from bisacodyl laxative pills, releasing the bisacodyl to do it's work.)

So, saliva, having neither an emulsifier, nor a fat-splitter, cannot make castor oil into a laxative (ricinoleic acid). If it did, the laxative would work in the stomach, causing vomiting, before getting to the bowel, to produce it's laxative effect.

STRONG soap enema or a very LARGE water enema ( over a gallon) but then again I am not what you would call "normal" nuerogenic issues. Out of shear curiosity I tried a liquid ivory handsoap enema the other day.. just to see what it felt like more then anything ( yea I was HORNY) INTENSE.. prob the best clean out I have had in a long time. FYI I used pure liquid soap to get the feeling.. Not really much burning but still hard to hold.

If i am really constipated then a nice soap and water or glycerine enema work well with a nice. If only mildly constipated I would either a few table spoons of castor oil or MOM and then wait about 15 minutes and have my partner give me a deep belly massage (rubbing, kneading, vibration) while i am lying on my back and then on my side. just remember to rub clockwise following the colon. Works great and makes my belly extra noisy

LaxMe,

Thanking you for your answer I ask you: Which is the reason that Castor Oil will lose its bad taste and its viscosity after having mixed 1 oz Castor Oil with the saliva for 15 minutes?

The best remedy for me is a nice warm soapy enema or two, followed by a rinse. Laxatives are too unpredictable can really upset the stomach. Suppositories do not interest me at all. Love the feeling of release from an enema.

For constipation there is nothing better than a hot 2-quart soapsuds enema. And I think most in this group would agree with me. 😃

3-Qt Epsom Salt and soapsuds together in the same enema. Knee chest position, retained 15 minutes.

For constipation there is only one solution--a good, warm and soapy enema. It does not take that long to do and it always works for me.

The answer for me, depends on the degree and duration of the constipation. A mild case that I am able to tend to early, a glycerin suppository is my first choice. If it's been 4 0r 5 days, I'll typically go right for the enema bag. First one a castile soap suds enema followed by a plain warm water with a teaspoon of salt as a rinse. I have, on a few occasions, ignored my constipation problem for too long a period and have not gotten results from the sse. I will then resort to a milk and molasses enema. If that does not bring results, it is obvious that I have a fecal impaction and report to the ER for diagnosis and treatment.

If I am busy i at first take a suppos or two. If that not cure after some hours i will take an enema. The last thing i will use is a laxative - mostly i dont need to take laxatives

Anice SSE is best for me. no waiting for results. Laxitives you never know when it will start to work

My first preference is for a nice soapy enema. It works tight then and is fun to do. If I'm traveling, I'll use a Fleet enema but it'd not nearly as much fun.

Enemas have always worked best for me. I tried laxatives but not only do they take too long to work, but take too long to stop! A simple enema series cleans you out and you are good to go, with no surprises.

Due to our laxative/suppository/enema upbringing, both my sister & I are chronically constipated. We both agree that nothing beats a good Ivory suds enema for quick relief. If time and/or equipment or a place are not available, then bisacodyl suppositories are the fall back remedy. At least one weekend a month, we get together (both widowed) for a complete cleaning out. Our ritual starts at bedtime Friday night with downing 4 ounces of castor oil emulsified in orange juice or chocolate milk. We diaper up, just in case, and go to bed. We were raised nudist at home, so the diaper is our only garb. If we don't wake up with dirty diapers, we usually get a good BM first thing. We have breakfast, which is not infrequently interrupted by second or third BM's...castor oil IS compelling! We relax for about an hour, then fix our first Ivory SSE. Once we are both hosting 2 qts of suds, we plug each other for a 30 minute hold. Although we do NOT have sex, we usually masturbate each other to lessen the cramps. After this enema is history in the toilet, we fix our second enema, 3 qts of Ivory suds...very strong. We plug again for 30 minutes. After releasing, we do 4 qt SSE's, using double balloon rectal catheters. This one is only held ten-fifteen minutes. After we release, we check our toilets and decide if another 4 qt SSE is warranted. I make this decision, because Sis would take 4 qt enemas all day. We might repeat the 4 qt SSE, or go to the first 4 qt rinse. We release rinses immediately. We always do at least two salt and soda rinses. If Sis is in a playful mood (i.e. she's horny), She asks me to give her a final rinse or two with 5 then 6 qts of salt & soda. I enjoy doing this, because I love seeing her "pregnant" tummy. I have never known her NOT to orgasm with 6 qts filling her. After we finish, we relax in bed and usually fall asleep. We go out to dinner when we wake up.

He was right my mom and my grandmother, a warm enema and then I felt better. It 'embarrassing but very effective and harmless.

Well first I would say I am lucky not suffer from chronic or severe constipation. But when things begin to slow down and output (BM) does not keep pace with the food input, I can do several things.

First more fiber in the diet will help but this is not a cure all. Second, I will use suppositories to help start a BM and it always seems to work and gets a result but really does not help clear further up into the colon. Lastly, enemas are the best way to get an immediate result and for me can clear very high up into to colon. I do enemas on a fairly regular basis (once every week or two) regardless if my system is working well or not. It is always surprising to see how much poop there is in my system even when I am not having any constipation issues. Just to note, I very rarely ever use laxatives since my other methods do work.

Doing a thorough enema cleaning for me is like hitting the reset button on my whole digestive process. The day after my enemas, I will either not have a BM or maybe just a small one. Usually by the second day my system begins to cycle back up and goes back to being regular.

Never been constipated

For constipation, nothing beats an enema.

I haven't had much success with suppositories.

If an enema isn't practical, I will resort to Dulcolax.

When I get TRULY consptipated, it usually occurs in the rectum and sigmoid area. Before I can consider a decent enema, I have to alleviate the blockage.

The best method for me is squeeze bulb of warm water. Sometimes I'll precede the bulb with a couple of glycerin suppositories as well. I'll hold this for a while - between 5-10 minutes. That's usually enough to get things loosened up and moving outbound. After I've gotten rid of the clog, I'll follow up with a proper 2 quart soapy enema. The following rinses may go up in volume depending on how my body seems to be willing to accept it.

After my bowels are returning clear of solids - I always clean up with a series of rectal douches and thorough exterior wash with my home made hand held bidet.

An enema has always been the most efficient and effective cure for me. It may not always be the most practical.

Laxatives were unheard of during my upbringing. Suppositories were pretty uncommon, unless prescribed by the pediatrician in lieu of an enema. Enemas were very common and usually the method of choice around our home. A quart or two of water was far less expensive than other ways. Mom did wear out a few enema bags by the time she passed on.

A bulb syringe is quite handy in a pinch. A quickie injection can initiate relief pending a "good enema". If in a hurry, the bulb enema can postpone more drastic measures and can be accomplished in a matter of moments.

I hate being constipated. Feeling like a brick is up your butt. Laxatives leave me cold. I hate the taste of castor oil or milk of magnesia. I don't the protracted time they take to work. I hate their unpredictable and often unscheduled effects. Give me a nice warm SSE any day.

Large volume baking soda and water enema, nothing else.

When I am constipated I either take a warm Epsom salt enema or a strong Ivory soap enema followed by a rinse.

Actually here in the Roman Catholic areas of Germany is carnival. All persons of a certain group taking part in carnival celebrations have a clothing filled with straw. In order to avoid any bowel movement during the high carnival days they will eat exclusively soup of flour. It is well known that in the morning of Ash Wednesday everyone of this group (men and women) will swallow a big dose castor oil.
