Drink 32 ounces of water or more first thing in the morning, every morning. You will feel great.

Look up "vitamin C flush" and learn about candida/yeast overgrowth.

Sometimes you just get too backed up, and nothing you eat or drink will help. Not even OTC meds helped. Trust me - I had to go to Urgent Care a few weeks ago. 2nd most painful and uncomfortable experience ever, 2nd only to having an infected tooth and needing a root canal.

ANYWAY there are some great medicines that don't require resorting to enemas. I forget what they gave me, but it was a syrup I had a couple times a day and within 12 hours was feeling so much better. Hopefully you are not just doing this to lose weight, though.

Sorry for the TMI...

the OP doesn't say anything about problems like these though. It's asking about an enema to get rid of "old" feces that everyone supposedly has trapped in them.

Seriously, you can have old waste in you bowels. Not normal but is very painful if not taken care of. If you are have a problem, go to your local walmart and get acidophilus. It is recommended by doctors. Normally you take one or two a day, but can take four til the problem is gone. Don't recommend old home remides, they don't sound safe and I'm sure they won't work

But that's just it... "Not normal but is very painful". If you have this problem you know something is wrong. You don't have to read an article to find out.

Kind of proves my point. If someone really has an issue like this, they KNOW about it. There's no reason for a perfectly healthy person to go and get an enema. If you have medical issues that's a different story.

To OP, you don't have to have an enema, there is some kind of liquid med that will basically do the same thing.

Two words...Magnesium Citrate. $2.50 @ Walgreens

It is actually pretty interesting reading all of the responses; well, after you weed through the ignorance. Anyway, I have diverticulitous and other digestive problems. I am not thinking about an enema, I simply stated that I seen that article when I was researching digestive issues and thought I would ask the question. I am always looking for ways to deal with the issues naturally; physllium husk is one but it is like drinking sand.
