I had a total gastrectomy about 7 weeks ago due to a stomach cancer diagnosis. Subsequently I developed a C diff infection for which I took Metronidazole for 3 weeks. During the third week the doctor took the test 3 times and they were all negative. My diarrhea symptoms subsided considerably after 2 weeks of medication but they seem to have returned today although not very severely. I am concerned that I may have a relapse.
A family friend (who gave birth 35yrs ago) said that before she delivered she received an enema. Do they still do this?? She also told me morning sickness starts in the second trimester and i definitely know that is wrong lol.
My mom told me that in the hospitals Some of them give you Enemas and I really don't want one!! Unless I for some reason need one, but she also said they do it as a precaution so the baby doesn't swallow or breath in BM. I'm all for it if it Needs to be done for her safety but I'm not sure about it.. Any stories or advise.
Has anyone had to use a enema or went to the er and had one done? Should i try it myself or go to er? Does it hurt? What should i expect? Im really nerves and kinda scared :( never had any of these prob. Be4 and this is all new to me..
No enema
Self-administered or given by nurse
If constipated at onset of labor
To start or stimulate labor
At times, enemas have been able to start contractions. Doctors or Midwives might want an enema performed to help stimulate or speed labor. The decision of whether you will or will not need an enema should be discussed with your doctor or midwife during one of your prenatal appointments.

For the past ten days I have been taking Metronidazole (Two 250mg oral tablets, twice daily).
I took my last pills lastnight around 10:30 pm.
My question is, would it be okay for me to consume alcohol on Saturday night?
I know my pharmacist told me to absolutely stay away from alcohol while I was taking the pills because I would vomit alot, and he said most people wait a couple of days after they've finished before they drink. Im just wondering if two days is enough time?
Metronidazole can cause diarrhea as a side effect. But it may be also working on the infective cause of your dog's illness in the first place, so don't stop it without speaking to your vet.
Meanwhile keep your dog hydrated. If you can find an unflavoured electrolyte drink like Pedialyte that would be great. Plain water would do for a short time but Pedialyte would be better.
My heart beat is erratic most of the time anyway but when I tried taking flagyl for campylobacter, it didn't affect my heart at all. I just got extremely sick and intestinal issues worsened. They had to switch me.
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!
Can pulps be detected with this B. Enema and if found how will they be removed? Will this B. Enema replace the colonoscopy in my future screenings? If no pulps were found up to the hepatic flexture, why do I need to proceed with this recommendation of the P. Enema?
My parents and I have been doing it over the past few months. We boil coffee to do enema with enema buckets that we have already. The reason I started doing it is because of constant fatigue, always feeling tired and of course, my bowel movements are not so constant. After the first time doing, I felt some improvement. After each time I do enema I feel better and better. Until the last few times I did I start to have this pain I mentioned, which worries me.
What is the practice ragrding enema in the US hospitals? Do women get enema in the hospital before labor or is it suggested to do it at home before heading to the hospital?
What strength of H2O2 did you use for the enema, and what symptoms did you have for which you prescribed the H2O2 enema in the first place?

It sounds as though the doc wants to perform a barium enema which is basically a special x-ray of the large intestine (colon and rectum) to look for structural featues and look for any changes/abnormalities. Before x-rays are taken, a liquid called barium sulfate is placed into the rectal area. This provides a 'contrast agent' that can highlight specific areas inside the body for a clear image.
