Re: help I feel like crap!
Hi meesh, you ask "Does the "urge" return quickly or does it return days later?"
That depends. There are people who can take daily enemas for a month or more, and upon discontinuing them have a natural BM the next day. But for most of us, if we have been taking enemas on a frequent basis, it usually takes a while to get back to normal. Of course, a lot of that depends on what you are eating and how much exercise you get.
What I suggest is that suppose you take daily enemas for say 2 weeks or so, then you feel thoroughly cleansed and quit, but then don't let yourself go for more than 48 hours without a BM. At this point give your self a smaller enema, 3/4ths or 1/2 of what you have been taking. Try reducing the volume each 48 hours until you restart normal daily movements.
Eat lots of raw fruits and veggies, and try to work out, or at least walk for 30-60 minutes a day. Hopefully you will get back to "normal" in a reasonable amount of time. But that's not always guaranteed. Many of us require a life long program of assistance to maintain regularity.
Best wishes, Valerie
