I'm with you I have avoided shoving anything up my ass, I do take a fruit cleanse mix everyday, yes the enema advocates will all bag the hell out of my post telling you it's the only way to do it. But for me I stay with what feels right for me. Just got to drink lots of water keep things moving, back ups are unproductive! Take a good liver support. See how you go, no point worrying about that, just stay with feels right for you. And your not soft if you decide not to go the up the bum! Goodluck. Best wishes
