Re: more information... Re: orthophosphoric acid
I'm SERIOUSLY pressed for time, but I'll try to offer some basics.
If you've experienced lower left sided discomfort, that can't possibly the the cecum area...that's the sigmoid region. Possibilities? the tubing pushed too hard into that area and bruised it or perforated it slightly (you would have seen blood if it were perforated, though). Or the water pressure did the same. I honestly cannot imagine any 'basic' thing it could be (that would have been caused by an enema).
Professional hydrotherapy/colonic machines measure & control both pressure and temperature of the solution; abdominal massage is both helpful to get the water throughout AND to assist the hydrotherapist/oneself to sense blockages and pressure issues. A home colonic/colema is done with the water receptacle elevated slightly above the level of the person (it really shouldn't be a meter & and half above, unless one is very experienced with accepting a flow rate of that speed/pressure).
One can accomplish a very successful/safe high enema using only a one quart enema bag - they just need someone there to refill the enema bag. Simply insert the first quart of solution via flexible tubing (with NO hard/metal tips) into the sigmoid/descending colon slowly --that'd be six-eight inches of tubing-- (starting on left side) turning onto backside while massaging the fluid toward the transverse (making room for more solution)...then repeat, more massage, more changing of sides, until one is laying on their right side. Then expel after a few minutes. It's time consuming and takes a bit of practice to 'work the kinks out' while learning to read and feel how fast your body is able to relax & expand to accept the solution.
OR, one that's experienced CAN insert the full 15-16" of tubing into the ascending colon, and just allow the solution to flow in that way. Obviously it takes some time and effort to learn to do this safely & properly.
Allowing water to flow from a slightly elevated position through a small flexible tube while stopping/starting the flow (hence allowing the colon to expand slowly, naturally and gradually) is VERY different that using pressure to 'push it throughout' the ENTIRE large colon. I would leave "pressure" to the professionals.
If I were having pain or discomfort in my sigmoid area after doing any type of an enema, I would cease doing enemas immediately and apply the most basic/baseline protocols I know. I would use castor oil packs nightly over the area (a natural cloth-cotton/wool- saturated in warmed castor oil, put some type of plastic over it, and then wrap yourself in a towel (or better yet a couple of ace bandages to keep it in place) and put a hot water bottle on it and go to sleep (a heating pad works, but some people recommend against them because of the EMFS - I choose the warmth to drive the castor oil into the skin myself...especially if pain/discomfort is involved). Something is WRONG if you're feeling discomfort, and healing/fixing it is imperative.
You'd can be very surprised at the healing power of a simple castor oil pack, a few of them might easily remedy the situation.
I would do the castor oil packs every night and several times a day apply a series of hot/cold packs. 3-5 minutes as hot as you can stand it, and 3-5 minutes as cold as you can manage. This will increase circulation to the area and both help to break up any congestion there AND increase the circulation of healing blood. This is another thing that is HIGHLY underestimated as far as effectiveness...and both castor oil packs and hot/cold therapy have virtually NO risk of doing harm. I would also increase my water intake to a minimum of 2 liters a day. If there's congestion there, it's 'baseline' can easily be dehydration. Perhaps it was you (I don't remember with all the emails I get) that mentioned that more than a liter or liter and a half of water a day is hard on the kidneys. JUST THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE! Dehydration is VERY hard on the organs and the whole body...it's THE baseline reason that our blood is thick (like molasses, when it should be like water) and having to pump 'syrup' throughout the organs makes it very difficult for the organs to function properly and helps them to become clogged & sluggish (not to mention the lack of oxygen and stress on the heart). In any event, any discomfort in the colon (especially if it turns out to be some type of clog or obstruction) needs to be soft & hydrated so that the body can more easily remove it.

t h e d o c t o r w i t h i n - WATER
After doing a few castor oil packs AND hot/cold contrasts, I would expect to have substantial relief. If I got it, I might then do a very soothing warm water, low enema (with fresh aloe gel or slippery elm bark in the solution)...as I would probably perceive the castor oil/hot-cold had loosened something and it would be beneficial to introduce fluid to help wash it away. But that's what I would do if it were ME, and without knowing you, talking to you personally, and having a lot more knowledge about your body, diet, symptoms, lifestyle, etc., I wouldn't advise what you should do for you.
As far as what you choose to do to make sure you get all the debris out of your colon after your next liver flush...? The recommendations and knowledge I have I've already offered. I think the Salt Water flush is an excellent bowel cleanser, and would probably be FAR safer for you now than anything else I can think of.
Like I mentioned, I always have 2-3 bms daily (more on liver flush days). I have never had ANY reason/symptom to make me think that I'm not getting out all of the liver debris. I do the coffee enema because it stimulates the flow of bile, and that will help push along/out anything that 'didn't quite make it'. I've never had anything 'stuck' in a duct or experienced any type of discomfort on flush days. I have experienced liver discomfort in my back along with right shoulder pain "freeze" that took several flushes to remedy (but that's just typical of the process/progress for some).
'Hope that gives you some help/insight/ideas -
