Always sick after tap water, never after salt. Is this normal?

Hey everyone, I've been into the enema scene for a few months now, I think more than a year at this point, and I've been wondering something.

See, whenever I use enemas I always add a teaspoon of non-iodized sea salt for each litre, and generally take 4 litres in (belly inflation fetish, so the more I can take in the better!). However, when I've done enemas with even just 2 litres of water, even just one session, I always feel rather sick and drained after, like I regret it. Is it that I'm absorbing water too fast and too much at once? I see everywhere on here many people taking regular 2 litre and it sounds like it isn't an issue.

Bonus: I want to try a visit to a hydrocolonic office, but since (assuming) they use regular non-isotonic water, I think I'd get more sick than anything.

Any reasons why? Is this common? Any remedies?

Definitely NOT NORMAL.

It ISN'T due to what you absorb. If you drank the water, all of it would get absorbed. As an enema, most gets expelled.

And what do you mean by "feel sick?"

It's kind of like....how to describe it.

Picture that feeling where you start to feel nausea when your about to throw up (like just starting, you aren't going to imminently throw up and would have to purposefully induce vomiting to do it). Except it's a little different, sort of like an irritation but not irritating? There's a minor bit of dizziness but it gets much stronger if I do repeated enemas. Anyways it's always in my lower body and I always feel that way after expulsion (usually I sweat quite a bit as well), along with feeling drained like usual. When I'm inflated it's not that strong, but it is different compared to using isotonic water.

Sorry I can't provide anymore sensations off the top of my head. I don't do this very often (for the above reasons) and would rather not unless absolutely necessary. Perhaps you can ask more questions and I can answer them to the best of my ability? Any question goes, I don't mind. And also thanks for the help Suzie, it is very appreciated.

So I gave it another go but just using 2 litres of water (non isotonic) and it seemed to fair much better this time around. Not as comfortable afterwards as isotonic water but it didn't make me so sick. I remember doing it in the shower could cause that, maybe because I slowed down a lot of the bag? (yes I know about the PSI and everything).

Is your water well water, is it a well-based city water system?

Could be some minerals in it.

Susie raises a great point. If you drink a glass or two of the tap water, how do you feel? If there is something in the water that is making you feel ill in an enema then drinking the water would do the same or be even worse. The only thing I can think of is that you may try reducing the volume of the enema and see if that makes a difference. If the water quality is not in doubt, it just maybe related to the quantity of the liquid in the enema that may be making you feel ill.

The rule of thumb I have always gone by is that if the water is drinkable (I have only done enemas in the USA) then it is definitely safe for enemas.

Perfectly normal. I live in a big city in Alberta, Canada and it's Well-based city water. Or river, I'm not sure. The city has at least 800,000 so I think we need a large water source.

I do not get sick at all drinking water.

Sounds like the water pressure in you, is pushing on something it shouldnt - i experience nausea too if i take a large (3 liters +) too fast and as the first thing.

I simply believe my body is trying to tell me "slow down, start off with 1-2 liters, then expell, then 2-3 liters, then expell" etc etc..

Will you realize this too in taking a soapy enema instead of a tap water enema?

That could very well be it. I take it with a colon tube and it empties a gallon probably in around 6 minutes or so. Will try slowing it down, thanks.

Never taken a soapy enema. I'm mostly a belly inflation enthusiast so I want things that are as cramp free as possible. I might give it a try sometime since I'm not an enema enthusiast, and if I do I'll post here.
