Enema-tastic!

Ok I did a 2nd enema - this time using the long flexi-tube. Boy what a difference! I slid it in about 4 inches and WOW! It was so easy. I managed to get 2 litres inside me no problem.
Once the water is in, it tends to meet up with whatever is already in there and stimulate a bowel movement. As a result I couldn't hold for more than a couple of minutes (I was trying to do a retention enema).
A *lot* of stuff came out - mostly partially digested food, and also I suspect the psyllium shake I had taken in the morning.
I have a few questions:
Now that my colon was empty I was tempted to refill the bucket and do it all again. Should I have done this?
When is the best time to do an enema?
If I want to do a retention enema, is it best to clear the bowels beforehand - if so how to do this? Should I just do a clear- water enema first? If so how much water and how much salt?
Will my ability to hold the water get stronger over time, or should I force myself to hold it in?
Sorry about all the questions, but I am excited about the world of healing opportunites that this enema bucket setup has opened!!!
Thanks Shelley!!

MoreThis is a reply to # 308,623This is information I got from my naturopath a couple of years ago. It is best to do a flushing enema before a retention enema. Salt, vinegar and lemon juice all help clean out the lower portion of the colon better than just plain water (note-I have tried them all, I got the best results with white vinegar, the lemon juice burned). After you are sure all the fluid from the flushing enema is expelled, then you can do the retention enema. Generally much less fluid is used when doing the retention enema. For a coffee enema use about two cups, this will allow the solution to flow into the intra hepatic veins. For a probiotic infusion enema 1-1 1/2 cups a liquid is used and the abdomin should be massaged while the hips are raised to allow fluid to gradually reach deeper areas. These are the only two retention enemas I've ever done. I'm sure Shelley can give more exact information.

This is a reply to # 308,652Hopsino thanks for the great post.
All of that makes sense - to use less water for a retention enema. Also cleaning with vinegar - wonder what Shelley thinks of this?
I can't do a coffee as I'm adrenally exhausted, so probably not a good idea.
But the probiotic sounds interesting. I was speaking to my colonisist the other day, who said he had had negative experiences trying to implant flora this way. How about you - did you have good results with probiotic enemas?

This is a reply to # 308,660I had good results with probiotic enemas as long as I used live acidophilus and minmal water.
I wouldn't recommend white vinegar, but apple cider vinegar absolutely, especially at the outset of a candida protocol. yeasties hate the stuff. :)
My favorite retention enema is liquid chlorophyll or aloe vera because they're so soothing. Baking soda is too harsh, don't like any salts really except for basic Sea Salt .
And instead of coffee, consider using Gotu Kola decoction - make tea and use that as the enema. Great stuff.- Re: Enema-tastic! Johnny Vegas

This is a reply to # 308,681Are you psychic or something - I was just about to ask you this very question!!
Thanks very much for the info Shelley. I'll stick to ACV on your advice.
One last question - how often would you recommend enemas to me (i.e. someone with bad case of candida)??

This is a reply to # 308,684Just about daily! After reading everyone's struggle wtih candida taking so long, I attribute my speedy recovery from leaky gut to my just about daily enemas. I stuck to a great diet for a long time, and knew about the power of digestion, but otherwise, it was all about keeping the colon clean.

This is a reply to # 308,685When you say to do daily enemas, how many days? I have done daily for several months and am always amazed at the stuff that comes out after I have already had my morning BM. They aren't retention enemas. It's kind of a rinsing of the colon...since I started seeing how dirty I still was inside ofter I pooped.

This is a reply to # 308,767It rather depends on what you're doing and how you feel. :)
If you're taking any kind of detox compounds, footpads or suffering candida overgrowth or leaky gut, you should enema-tastic near daily.
Once you start equalizing, then just once or twice a week should be all you need. Once you reach your health goals, then you only need to do them post-flush, after really bad cheats, during seasonal allergies, or when there's a flu virus going around.
Any time you're symptomatic, enemas will help you stay within your comfort zone. :)
