Abstract from ”Studies on the benefits of colonics and enemas”
Soapsuds enema from a nurse's training handbook.
As Schmelzer et al. describe it, the ideal enema would effectively
cleanse the colon with minimal side effects, essentially the same as
the goal of the colonic irrigation. Enemas, like colonics, cleanse the
colon by stimulating propulsion and secretion. The relevant factors
include enema volume, the presence of chemical irritants, and the
osmolality or tonicity of the solution. The instillation of a large
fluid volume into the colon stimulates propulsion; this is especially
relevant to colonic irrigations which typically use pure tap water with
a larger fluid volume than enemas. Chemical irritants stimulate both
propulsion and secretion to rapidly empty the colon; using a hypertonic
solution to draw fluid from the body into the colon through osmosis,
and directly irritating the mucosa are the principles of the popular
Fleets sodium phosphate enema. Soapsuds enemas use the principles of
high volume and chemical irritation.
Schmelzer et al. (2000) found that soapsuds enemas produced
significantly greater output than tap water and were equally well
tolerated. Most subjects who received tap water enemas retained more
fluid than was eliminated. Based on these findings, they advised that
nurses should use caution when giving repeated enemas to patients
sensitive to large fluid loads. This is relevant to the question of the
fluid load resulting from a colonic irrigation, in which a larger
volume of water is used than in the typical enema.

- soap suds enemas by Vikinggirl

After the soapy enema, to wash out, would it be helpful to use salt in the rinse enema to avoid absorbing the water without expelling enough of it? One doesn't want to gain weight while having a great clean out! lHow to get the water out? Does the soapy enema retain water as well. Could a salt solution be added to the soap to avoid the absorbing of excess water in the system, then another water enema with salt?
