When you have an enema how much should come out?

Question

I know this is kind of a weird question, but I was told that quite a lot of waste should come out when you have an enema. I did one and not much happened. Did I do it wrong?

Answer 1

well, it should be the first few inches of fecal inpaction on the walls of your bowels. If there isn't much, then you either didn't eat a lot that day or it'll be a while (at least a few hours) before you really even have to poop. Don't worry about it and DON'T do it that often! You're fine, only do it when you're constipated! :-)

Answer 2

I'm not sure about the enema, but I heard that you carry around 8-10 pounds of waste with you on any given day. But a lot could affect that...have you not eaten much in a while? did you have diarrhea recently and clear your system out that way? do you take laxatives? anything like that could change the outcome.

Answer 3

probably not, but it all depends on how much liquid you took in.


As your colon fills with water you may have some cramping. This is good. Your therapist uses this cue to empty your colon and assist you to release. Good communication with the therapist is what makes it a pain-free experience. I stay with the client during the entire treatment. This allows me to “work” the colon therapy machine in order to move out the 2-20 feet of stool during a regular session. Also, I pay attention to a person’s body language as some people experience more discomfort than others. When someone is experiencing discomfort, I will massage their belly, or slow the flow of water, or let them sit on the toilet. One of the main jobs of the client is to tell me when they feel full. At this point, I will let the water that has been building up in the colon out. With the release of water comes stool.

Depends on how much liquid and food you put in.
