e***a Question....?

Question

I have had a constipation problem for the past few months and the pills my DR. prescribes have workde. But I ma not wanting to take pills any more and have talked to my DR. about an enima and he says it shouldnt hurt as long as it is not too often and not too much volume. What I was wondering was if the temp pf the water mattered and is tap water ok? I know hot water is a big big no no but what about luke warm or just slightly cooler than luke warm? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I prefer luke warm and 1-2 liters. You can use tap water but bottled water is more pleasant. Preferably a spring water such as Evian.

Answer 2

use Fleet e***a's

Answer 3

You don't have to use anything with Fleet enemas, just use it at room temperature.

Citrate of Magnesia [Magnesium Citrate] is a great laxative.  Look for a 1/2 pint green bottle. You drink it.  Tastes kinda yucky, so hold your nose, and chug-a-lug, til one bottle is gone.  Be very close to the toilet....If one's not enough, chug the 2nd one.  GUARANTEED RESULTS.

When you have leveled out, you can try Miralax, now over the counter stool softener, if constipation is a regular problem for you.

You MUST drink a lot of water, to avoid constipation.  The digestive track needs to stay well lubricated for the stool to move easily through it, and avoid constipation.

Eat lots of fruits, veggies, cereals, like rolled oats, and whole grain breads.  All these things combined will help you.

Answer 4

My mom used e***a's on us everytime we got sick when we were kids.  There are colonic spa's where they do something like an e***a and flush out your system. However I don't think that is considered healthy now. Seems that the water running through your system clears out all the healthy bacteria and can cause more problems than helping.

Try eating a different diet.. Such as lots of FIBER, as in Oatmeal/Grain products (cereal bars, cereal)  Apple Sauce is a good one, not apple juice.

Answer 5

Luke warm water is best but e***a's can also deplete the body of vital nutrients and intestinal flora so it is important to replace with proper supplements, be sure to take an acidolphilus product to replenish your body. A better way would be to take a natural laxative supplement on occasion, I would recommend a castor oil . But the big thing is if you have constant constipation then there is a problem in your diet and/or liquid intake because your body is not processing properly to get rid of waste material.

One you rid yourself of the constipation be sure to drink enough fluids, add fiber to your diet and eat enough fruits and vegetables. i would also recommend a good vitamin/mineral supplement.

Hope this helps
