Do you do them? How often? If not why, why not?

Sometimes I play a racing game to get my phone from the other room once I get the urge :D

Didn't know where to post this

    What are you gaining (or I guess losing) form the enema? are you using it to lose weight? Because that's completely unneeded, plus you run the risk of becoming dependent on them if you continually use them because your colon will lose its ability to pass stool on its own through muscle movement. The only weight you lose with an enema is temporary at best.

    I've had a bowel obstruction and that's the why I've used one. I'm pretty sure it's the ONLY reason to use them.

    What does the phone have to do with it? I'm a bit baffled by that part.

    Most colonoscopy preps finish with one.

    I hear that people do them once or twice a year to clean out back up and bloating, but I would just detox.

    Since this is in debate I think it would be a good idea to point out that the frequent use of enemas can actually be harmful. Our entire digestive tract contains useful bacteria and washing it out can lead to an imbalance of your natural flora. That means you'll have a harder time going naturally and your absorption of certain nutrients will be inhibited. The more often you do them the more likely you are to become vitamin or mineral deficient.

    There's also the risk of perforating the rectum, which could lead to the loss of your colon and having to poop in a bag for the rest of your life.

    This looks like one of those threads that will fill up my feed and cover up the last thread I posted in that still fills up my feed. And, by the way, filling up my feed is a heck of a lot better than filling up my you know what.
