Hi all, I just started doing enemas recently.
I've felt once the 2 OZ of water is in like I can feel my bowels absorbing in the fluid or something.
In talking to 2 girlfriends who also do enemas sometimes I've found they did not feel that at all.
Have you felt it?

I'm not sure what you are experiencing but I found out from my recent colon surgery that the colon itself has very little "feeling".

I have felt the "getting full feeling" is that what you are refering to?

I'm not sure how to explain it, but it was like a rushing sensation that felt like a sponge absorbing water or something.
Being it was a 2 qt enema I'm thinking the fluid went higher than my colon.
LOL I'm brand new to enemas, so I don't have a clue what I'm trying to say or if it was my intestines or colon or rectal canal, but it felt high up in my stomach when suddenly it felt almost like your belly feels when you drink a lot of water all at once.

Your colon is your intestines, specifically your large instestine. It is 5 to 7 feet long. Water from an enema, even a pressurized high colonic enema, would not travel past the large instestine. I'm not sure what you are experiencing but I would guess that it is probably the movement of the water or the fullness rather than absorption.

i think i know what you mean... not sure i can describe it any better than you have, but it seems to happen more when the water is colder, and when done in a kneeling, face-to-the-floor position... It feels almost like the water has pushed aside some of the "blockage" and quite suddenly flooded into a new area of the intestine higher up the body. It does tend to result in a full, sometimes queasy feeling, and it can take a while to fully expel the water when it hits that point. In my experience, anyway.

If you do a bit of research into the subject, you'll find that there is a recommendation to add a small amount of salt to the enema solution because plain water can cross the intestinal membranes and lead to dehydration. I'd suggest doing a little homework before you do yourself any damage.

I did an enema once in my life (doctor suggested) and I felt so badly cramped and sick to my stomach..worse feeling I ever felt.

From your rectum, your colon travels up the left side of your abdomen and then across the upper part of your abdomen before going back down the other side. It's definitely possible for an enema to fill that entire length of large intestine, but once it gets to the end of the large intestine (around your lower right abdomen), it can't go any further. A sphincter between your small and large intestine keeps things from backing up into the small intestine.
As LH mentioned, do add salt to your enemas, but no more than 1 tbsp of salt per quart. Too little salt can lead to water retention and electrolyte imbalances. Too much can lead to dehydration.

edited because I suck at tsp-tbsp conversions.

As a colonhydrotherapist and physiologist I would like to say that it's quite the other way round. An enema is the safest, fastest, easiest way to rehydrate a dehydrated person. Osmosis will force the plain water from the gut lumen into the gut wall and the surrounding tissue, thereby hydrating it. Remember how we used to preserve meat and fish? Not by putting them into plain water. I think what you may have meant is that a person might lose to many minerals by (too many) enemas. This has been refuted by research. It has also been refuted empirically almost a century ago by the dutch doctor Ten Haaf who 'rediscovered' colonics, by having high colonics twice a day for over a year without any side effects.
Excessive loss of electrolytes can occur by prolongued diarrhea, but that's another story.
Adding a little salt will not harm you (that is: up to the physiological molarity), but the rehydrating effect of the plain water is benificial for therapeutical cleansing purposes. Bottom line: plain water is totally harmless.

Your colon is your large intestine. But you are mostly right: the water will not travel (and should not travel) past it, if the valve separating the colon and the small intestine is functioning properly. Failure to do so would most probably result in an infection of the small intestine. Most of the time, without proper equipment it won't even travel that far. The colon, in its propulsing and kneading action, has constricted and dilated sections, which alternate in time. In many people, some sections are constricted most of the time, resulting in a more or less 'spastic' colon. A disregulation of the peristaltsis is one of the causes of obstipation or constipation. What you describe is probably the relaxation of a constricted section, which allows the water to pass on to the next section. This happens all the time during colonhydrotherapy. So what you felt was not absorption through the colon wall, but penetration in a deeper section of the colon.

regards

Ron
