What tests do they do?

I’ve been referred to oncology by my go but no idea what tests they will do as I haven’t been asked to do an enema or special diet - I was expecting a colonoscopy

Movicol disimpaction

Been on Movicol then recently put on dulcolax and 12th December had an emerald done and then 8th January had another enema done. Now on a Movicol disimpaction regime with Movicol and picosulfate - we are day 4 into it on 10 sachets and still nothing just little loose accidents in underwear.

Tea tree oil enema candida

Theres places selling tea tree oil to use for enemas. But I can't find any forums where people have had luck with them or any info that they are safe? Has anyone tried this?

Colonoscopy and enema

Hi, I’ve just been told I have to have a colonoscopy and an enema and I’m really worried, especially about the enema. This is at York Hospital and I just wondered if people could share their experiences, good or bad. Thanks

Vomiting & constipation

She also had an enema 3 days ago. I guess my questions are: 1) what’s the longest disimpaction might take? 2) have others experienced such prolonged vomiting (10 times + a day)? Thank you for your time 😊

Staying overnight for laparoscopy

I've not really had much information about what it's all going to be like next week (except that I'll need to have an enema the night before). Has anyone had a similar experience? What would you recommend taking in for my overnight stay?

Bad taste in mouth, Azathioprine??

Kind of gross and a sort of update. Fyi there is alot of tmi so lease scroll on if you gag easily.

After said episode I completed an enema and all I’m going to say is that it both smelled horrific and felt horrific but I think it may have helped clear some things up. I’m not sure that she is going to send me to a gastroenterologist just yet and I’m not sure if I agree with this.

Swallowing

Dad was admitted for an enema 11 days ago as there was no bowel movement for 13 days. He then took an infection which has now cleared but he is not drinking or eating so still in and losing weight. Therefore on and off the drip.

Chronic Constipation Since PD Prescription Changed

The enema worked, but BMs are still not normal. I believe that the extreme change in my PD treatments is removing all fluids from my intestines. In August, my Kt/V finally reached 1.74 -- which is acceptable but still on the low end.

Vitamin B

I am on Pentasa tablets, suppository and enema daily. I am bleeding, nauseous and so exhausted. I am tempted to start taking vitamin b complex. I am having a sigmoidoscopy in a couple of weeks. All my bloods are normal. Anyone out there found they help with fatigue? Thank yoi

Concerns about Salvage Radiation

Did you do enemas before each session and is it OK to do a daily enema? I am not particularly regular and would like to be in the best position to avoid damaging that area. Also, I had surgery April 1st and am still not fully continent.

Constipation and laxative use... Help?

Last Saturday I had 50mg of dulcolax and I never went to toilet so yesterday (Wednesday) I had another 50mg of dulcolax and it never worked either, so this morning I went to see my GP and she gave me miralax enema and that never worked either.

Natural Treatments for Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis

Enema Because the drug acts on the rectum which is close to the focus, it can also be directly absorbed by the prostate gland, thus increasing the local blood circulation of the prostate and promoting the elimination of inflammation.
