Avatar n tn I was very nervous at first but after I was educated and understood how and what they do, I felt more comfortable. I strongly recommend you talk with your doctor and then decide if its right for you.
Avatar f tn Top 10 Dangers of the Coffee Enema The dangers associated with the coffee enema, green tea enema, coffee colonic (coffee or tea high enema), and coffee or tea suppository are as follows: Adding ingredients to the enema recipe (such as coffee, green tea, vinegar, baking soda, bath/epsom salt, or minerals) is not proven to do anything superior to the effects of plain saline. Inserting anything into the anus may result in anal tearing.
458072 tn?1291415186 I also do coffee enemas regularly...Non-decaf natural coffee and natural filter..I try to do this early in the day and feel a difference.
1763947 tn?1334055319 I think it helps reduce the ringing in my ears. I bought all the components to do coffee enemas, but my hubby and mom talked me out of doing them. Some Lymies insist they feel better after the enemas.
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.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with Pelvic Floor Dysfunciton and slow transit. I am trying to do enemas every day but they don't seem to work very well. Once I put the enema in, I can't get the 'urge' to expel it... so it just sits in me. I can try to shove out all the water but it's never easy. Any way to get around this? Btw, I just use salt water - could this be the reason? I'd rather not use anything that might irritate my colon.
Avatar f tn I would be interested in hearing what your doc appointment reveals. I think you may have an anal muscle problem, particularly since you've had this since you were a girl, and could be an operation might help you. Quit drinking the coffee during the day... only drink it when you usually go to the bathroom IF you go in the morning or after work... if you drink coffee after the evening meal, it'll keep you up at night.
Avatar f tn So i woke up today feeling normal when i suddenly had to use the restroom but when i got there i couldnt go i couldnt pee or poop (sorry tmi) and i still cant go and in a great deal of pain its unbearable. Ove tried stool sofeners, warm prune juice, coffee, eating foods with fiber and nothing is working! I need help on how i could fix this problem and soon!
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 I am a first time mother with only 5 days left until my due date. I've done this all natural so far not taking anything except Tylenol and prenatals.I really don't want to accidentally induce labor. Is there anything I can do to relieve constipation that's safe this far into pregnancy?
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 m tn s without taking a laxative (have taken them 2 times - 1 week apart). Before trying the laxatives I did 2 enemas (2 days apart) with very little success. I have stomach pain and bloating. My pain seems to be in my lower left quadrant, but if the gas is bad, it is everywhere in my abdomen. I wonder if I have a bowel obstruction, but thought if I did then the laxative would not work. The pain is really effecting my life.
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.
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 been told that detoxing by doing a colon cleanse, full body cleanse and coffee enemas help remove toxins that block weight loss. I am going to try that along with healthier eating. The company BioImmune at BioImmune.com has a great detox that is easy and gentle and the only detox that crosses the blood/brain barrier.
Avatar n tn s advice have been taking 4-5 enemas at home about every other day. Even with the enemas there is minimal production and/or relief, not to mention to unbearable cramping pains! I have had an abdominal/pelvic CT scan, lower GI, sigmoidoscopy, as well as many abdominal X-rays with no diagnosis. My pathology report has come back normal from my flex sig., however, my surgeon did say that during the procedure he noticed an area that was somewhat rigid and would not inflate with the air.
Avatar f tn Please help me by letting me know if this is normal for this problem to last this long he has been thru so much that he hates to go to the doctor how do I make it easier for him to deal with Thanks This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/236577'>need help for 7 year old daughter</a>.
Avatar n tn I too suffer from chronic constipation and colonic inertia. That is when the muscles do not work. There are several tests to determine if it is a muscle issue. I do disagree with the doctor above, fiber is not the answer to all constipation. My doctor told me that fiber can just make things worse in people that have muscle issues. It just bulks up even more and then you look pregnant. The key to my finding out what was wrong was finding the right gastroenterologist.
Avatar n tn 1)only ****** before sex., rather than periodically through the week before sex. 2) how much time before the actual act of sex does one ******? How much time should it take in general? What is temperature of Water? Is it better to use fresh water than the phosphates in enemas for fear of harming inner tissues? Any other pointers for one embarking on the dark side?? Thanks!!
Avatar n tn 1 ratio apples/carrots), coffee enemas, and unrefined coconut oil on the rash. I'm starting that today, but I am also going to try putting cod liver oil on the rash since it is high in vitamin a. I hope this helps. Oh, and doctors don't seem to care much about the actual cause. Most of them just want to prescribe drugs and if that doesn't work, they're "sorry, but there's nothing we can do.
789585 tn?1289952561 They will up your regular meds and may put you on prednisone or can try the enemas which are very helpful but less side effects than the prednisone. How long have you been on the Imuran? It does take about 6 months to really work. Do keep in mind that if you do need prednisone this time that it would just be a short round until the Imuran really kicks in. So sorry about the job but agree that perhaps it is a blessing and will allow you to get yourself healthy which is the priority.
Avatar f tn Hi there...I did a little research and found that mineral oil enemas do not apear to be toxic to cats. BUT...there is an enema out there (phosphate enema) that is very toxic to cats. I think some of the confusion comes from the fact that a brand name enema (Fleet) makes both mineral oil enemas and phosphate enemas. Hope that helps!
Avatar f tn I have not had a regular bm in a week. I am losing sleep and my stomach literally feels like it's doing flips. I have tried stool softeners, hot tea, coffee, relaxing. And nothing! I am miserable. Hubby has tried everything to help me, but it won't budge. Also, on top of this, it seems I have caught a cold from goodness knows where. This is causing me to not be able to sleep either as I am up all night coughing.
Avatar n tn So I have been unable to go number 2 for about 3 days now. What can I take or do to go? Its to the point of being uncomfortable while sleeping and even being at work is unbearable..
Avatar f tn I go to work, come back and just spend in bed the rest of the day :( sometimes is even super hsrd to go to work
Avatar f tn Hi, I know what you mean. I have had this problem for up to 10 days. For me, sometimes I have to use sodium based liquid laxative for severe constipation- they sell them in drug stores. They are usually lemon or cherry flavored- but they are a last resort. They taste awful. Fleet enemas are also helpful. I've actually used them together. I also use Kleri Tea. Usually one tea bag, steeped for about 8 min, will do the trick.
Avatar m tn ve just started a flare when in the UK for xmas (had doxy... antibiotics which I think triggered it) and doc prescribed asacol foam enemas- FX they will work. I will buy a few boxes to take back to Japan and avoid another flare. It is ridiculous that all drugs are not available in all developed countries especially when we pay an insurance premium anyway. I hope you are symptom free and all the best for 2012!
