Experiences with

Enema

after taking enema can you walk or should you lie down all night?

Used excessive enema now it is not working. Consulted gastrointestinal expert gave some medicine, it helps but largely it is psychological. I can't pass stool its like lump and results in anal fissures. Any suggestion who had similar experience

Have to use a mini enema as constipated, hard stool. After my bowels close I get a feeling like a numbness and bloated feeling in my bowel . Feels like trapped wind and won’t completely go even after I pass wind. Does anyone know what it is.

I have been testing with Sucralfate enema since 4 months... It reduced my stool blood symptoms by 80 %. All blood tests ok.... Some gastros say it will gradually go away others say my stool blood will get worse... My Radio Onco says it will never go away but will be less frequent...

I am scared that the laxative solution and the phosphate enema that I have to take as part of preparing for the colonoscopy will damage my kidneys even more than they already are. I am also worried that the sedative I have to take as part of the procedure might do the same thing.

Is the last six inches of the rectum that a fleet enema covers enough to protect the rectum from radiation? or do i actually need a clean out with miralax or another laxative each time? All responses welcome and appreciated...tx.. Tall Allen...thoughts please???

I had a good recovery from the op. just had to go back as I needed an enema 2days after leaving hospital. I was a private patient. I used my Benenden membership to get the op done quicky.I am now a N.H. patient. I am due to see my consultant on Monday 23/1/23 at 3pm.

Last time last night when he was given enema. We have been up all night as since he is having awful stomach pains. This is not the first time it had happened too but not as severely (the pain) I feel. The hospital told me it was “normal” and that I should be continue to give him Movicol.

He had been refusing the lactulose but they gave him an enema today, so hopefully that will start to work and ease the confusion, he’s like someone with dementia. He had been up all night, and has been sleeping most of today. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to endure.

Have defibrillator so will be getting "old" CT protocol. with IMRT 15 minutes w "comfortably "full bladder , (don't think you need a fleet for each of the 20 treatments). With SBRT a bit more complicated , 45 minutes -hour being "still ' w full bladder.

I ended up using an enema, but it was still extremely painful. Two weeks ago, the same problem started again. I kept trying to hold it in and eventually it got to the point where I couldn’t. I was able to go a little bit, and had to manually remove some which was very uncomfortable.

Hello everyone, Does anyone have experience with the use of sucralfate enema for intestinal bleeding due to PRD? When the improvements start, since I've been using them for two weeks and the bleeding is the same intensity? Sorry for my bad English... Best wishes to all of you...

I was due a long awaited cardioversion next week but last weekend I was so constipated that my waterworks stopped working.Catheter fitted and an enema later I am sitting here in some discomfort.

I tried it again about 6 months ago but it wasn't giving me the same positive results especially re bowel movements, as it once did, prior to second baby. nowadays, my bowels will not move unless i do a water enema. i am 37! wtf!!?? i am on the 3 year waiting list to see a gastroent.

I took an enema and my BP went down and felt much better. Cloudy brain gone. I feel as if I lack normal impulses for a BM. I can't understand what is going on nor what I can do to treat it. I take vitamin D and calcium supplements. I do suffer from a compression fracture at L-5.

I went to see Gastro who did rectoscopy and recommended Betensol enema. I did 10 days but actually blood spots increased. I tried Mesalamine suppository...as suggested by TA...still it helped in negative sense. I took sucralfate suspension....

Getting a barium enema tomorrow to find out more where obstruction is. This is so discouraging as I just feel like it’s 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Doctor said I was at risk if bowel perforation happened and they have to get this fixed first. Anyone else have this happen?

My gastro recommended Betnesol enema to handle light stool blood two years after RT on pelvic and prostate. However I find more red blood on toilet paper than before...after 3 days of enema... Is it normal or I should stop it.. The treatment is 10 days then 3 times a week for 2 months...

NATURAL REMEDIES >take enema to relieve gas & pain >apply heat on abdomen using heating pad, hot water bottle for 1hr remove for 1hr add again after an 1hr till pain subsides >take charcoal tablets to relieve gas & bloating bt not daily they can cause constipation.

Hi All I've been reading about the link between hypothyroid and liver. I have decided to do a gentle detox. This involves castor oil on a cloth and a hot water bottle and lying it on the liver region for about 45 minutes. I've do it two days in a row. I just wondered if anyone else has done this and
