I am not new to bowel cleansing but am new to using enemas. For now, I am just using reusable bulbs and do about 16oz at a time.

I do not want to do anything with any kind of salt (epsons, sea, ect) as I find I just absorb it, retain it and it makes me pass water throughout the day longer than anything else. This is why I quit doing salt water flushes.


I tried a coconut Oil Enema twice and the urge was too strong right away and most of it came right back out and then a few hours later I'd feel gassy and more would come out. I liked the idea of coconut oil because at least it was clear and I could see what was actually coming out but this just didn't work for me.

So far the coffee enema gave the best results. I could actually retain it for 5-10 minute. But, it seems to come out throughout the day.

When I tried 1/2 water and 1/2 coffee, it seemed like I absorbed it because afterwards I had to urinate more frequently. So I guess I shouldn't have done this?


I've actually been juice fasting for 3 weeks now and up until this last week I just used the herbal laxative teas and I wanted to try enemas but I really hate the urges to go to the bathroom hours after doing them. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried them at different times, first thing in the morning, at night and in the middle of the day after drinking juice.
