For the first time, you did fine. I feel you would have had better results if you used warmer water (like 103 deg.). The warmer water is easier to retain. When you get the ”full” feeling, you should stop the flow and wait for the ”full” feeling to subside, then resume the flow, repeating until your get the ”no more room in here for another ounce” feeling. At this point stop the flow and relax. Try to retain the enema for 5 - 10 minutes and then expell. Take your time. I have found that the single most important step is to fill the entire colon, whatever size your colon is. Your ...

Three consequetive enemas sounds about right. Your own body is excellent about telling you when you have had enough. If you get that ”sick” or ”I don’t want to do another” feeling, then stop. More than five enemas could lead to electrolyte imbalance and over hydration. For a good cleansing program, you may repeat the three enemas per day for perhaps up to a week. After that, just for periodic maintenance, another three enemas whenever you feel the need should be sufficient.   [End]

Do not be concerned about the quantity -- this is not a contest.   [End]

I have used the Fleet enema bottle and found it to be very irritating and I have to expel it within 5-10 minutes. It only seems to reach the lower 6” to 12” of the bowel. With an enema bag, I can clean the entire colon without discomfort.   [End]

Different people have different tolerances for retaining an enema. Even a person with good tolerance can occasionally experience cramping. I have found the following to be useful: 1. If possible, try not to run to the toilet when the urge is at its peak. Try to maintain your position and breath deeply until the cramping decreases and then visit the toilet. 2. A bedpan in a chair next to the bed may useful. Even if you don’t have to use it, it can boost your confidence just knowing it is there if needed.   [End]
