coffee

Avatar m tn These electrolyes regulate your heartbeat and can producte arrhythmias of your heart. Enemas provide a fast laxative when you really need it. The volume of chemicals in enemas is far less than the volume of colon washes, hence the name, colon washes. Colonoscopies use to require one drink a gallon of medical detergent over an 8-hour period to clear the colon for inspection.

458072 tn?1291415186 Make sure you are using organic coffee.....there are pesticides etc in regular coffee. You don't want to defeat the purpose. Decaf is only for drinking...lol How are you doing?? I have missed talking with you! Any update on your sleeping patterns? How's the thyroid?
Avatar f tn I believe from reading about this treatment that it could be very harmful for those on chemo for OVCA, the coffee enemas will irrate the colon and will dehydrate you. the other mentions products may interfer with your chemo.
Avatar f tn Hello, I must ask why are you using the enemas? Did the doctor prescribe them because you have been constipated? You stated that you have used 8 of them already, is that in one day or over some time? It is possible your pain is from the frequent enemas but it is hard to say. Please give more info so that I may be able to answer your questions.
Avatar f tn Paula, you are in my prayers, hope you are up and out of there soon. Home always seems better to me, my own bed! I know you are ready to get home too.
7913021 tn?1418048620 I agree with Ashleigh, coffee helps me. I was doing enemas almost every other day. I finally resulted into taking a small amount of castor oil. Due in less than a week so if it assisted with starting labor i sad fine. I tthrew it all up but had a clean system that lasted two days. Back to trying coffee because castor oil experience wasn't a good one.
Avatar n tn Hi. I'm assuming you're referring to Gemzar (generic name: gemcitabine), which is a chemotherapy drug commonly used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. I'm not sure what particular side effect of gemcitabine you're thinking of which could be counteracted by taking Lugol's solution. I have used this drug on a lot of my patients and have never used Lugol's to counteract any of Gemzar's adverse effects.
Avatar f tn Have you gone for a walk or tried relaxing in a warm bath? Walking helps get things moving.
Avatar n tn In the meantime, you may try using mineral-oil enemas and regular enemas to see whether you can induce a bowel movement. If the enemas give you a partial bowel movement, try a good, safe laxative to further help with your constipation. Dulcolax, 5-mg, is good. The tablets are tiny, and I take three tablets to gain the greatest relief. Your bowels should loosen in 5-6 hours. The Gastroenterologist may need to use an endoscope to look inside your esophagus and stomach for clues to your pain.
Avatar f tn t worked well for me. Nurses expect enemas to clear you out properly, and this never seems to happen for me (my most-recent experience of an enema 3 years ago involved heavy uncontrollable anal flow for the next three days, as opposed to my normal slight annoying staining). I found somebody online who discovered she had 'incomplete bowel evacuation' from having a hospital MRI of her rectal function.
Avatar f tn but I am very pleased that ggreg has come in with her advice and I really hope that this helps and offers you some relief before the operation (now in HK??). Maybe you are extremely lucky and ggreg's advice might just avoid the need for surgery?? Before I had my total colectomy operation I asked the surgeon whether there was a risk that any liquid spillage from the incisions in the large intestines could enter the abdomen and cause peritonitis.
Avatar m tn Defecation is easier if I put lubrication in my anal canal and take a hose and shoot some water inside for an enema. Coffee enemas were in the Merck Manual until 1972 and male gays do this all the time, so I regard all the precautions and "dangers" listed on various websites as a product of the sissy culture now spreading in the English speaking world.
Avatar f tn I have never had to do enemas, but have you tried adding magnesium citrate to help your muscles?
1088509 tn?1352236247 Good Morning Ladies, What are you thoughts on regular coffee while your pregnant????
Avatar f tn Yup I did but if you eat something that wi usually make you go for me it wasn't the healthiest choice (chinese) it was so good loosened me up and the next day I was normal again lol
Avatar m tn None of the things I am taking is harmful to your system. So if you decide to try this you will know it is safe for you. Good Luck.
Avatar f tn go to Wal-Mart and get the fleet brand saline enemas ... hold it in as long as you can ... like ten mins or more .. I was having that same pproblem for two weeks and it worked ... also keep up on your stool softeners everyday I take four just to keepthings moving ... hope you get some relief girl !
Avatar f tn t be good for you or baby..maybe visit the ER and see what they can do for you..poor thing I know your probably so uncomfortable!prayers going your way!
Avatar n tn Yes I was told by my OB-Gyn that enema are OK occasionally - but you may want to check with yours! She also told me that Colace is also OK for emergency - 3 pills/day. Earlier in my pregnancy I was very constipated and twice I had to drink some strong phospho liquid. I now take Miralax several times a week - Miralax does not go in the blood so it's more gentle on baby. But again ask your own doctor as doctors don't always share the same philosophy.
Avatar f tn I am drinking a cup or two or a day a few times a week sometimes more sometimes less. It just depends on my schedule and if it even sounds good or not. I have about 2 sodas a week also. I can't cut caffeine completely I tried that and ended up bed ridden with migraines. It got so bad the nurse at my dr office actually yelled at me and was like "for the love woman will you just drink a damn mt dew!?
Avatar n tn My first effort would be a series of coffee enemas. A series being 1-2 per day for as long as it takes to get the bile flowing again. Lots of vit C also. Look up CEs, glutathione, castor oil packs over liver, whole lemon olive oil drink, Hulda Clark Liver cleanse recipe.
1738923 tn?1327326669 I also do organic coffee enemas which is VERY soothing to the liver -- kind of like when you have an itch and finally able to scratch it. I also do the master cleanse diet, or lemonade diet, once every 6 months for 1 week.
Avatar m tn I think it depends on the type of enema. Using enemas frequently for constipation can cause your rectum to "forget" how to have a bowel movement naturally. Using enemas for "colon cleansing", I believe is not good, because your colon doesn't need any cleansing, it does this itself.
