I wanted to know if anyone is into really deep deep colon-filling enemas. What got you into it? What things do you use (equipment, mixes), how you do it, maybe any special things you do to relax, and so on. Especially how you feel during the day after you do it!

I'll go first.

Why I do it:
I originally tried to do a deep colon enema when I read online that it can be more effective to clean your insides than paying to do colon hydrotherapy by a professional. It's supposed to clear out all the waste matter that's been in there for years, and can rot and cause disease and sickness when you get older. There can be up to 20 pounds or more of rotting stuff just sitting in the colon. Also, for women, the thought of having a flatter belly - can't go wrong!

I bought a shower kit (the Streem Master) and it was my first enema kit. It has 2 nozzles, a small one that I've never used, and a large one that's nice and round, and often goes in with no lubrication - I use this one. I found that I like to do my enemas standing up with one leg propped up, so doing it in the shower seemed a perfect fit.

Using just shower water, I couldn't initially fill up. I kept expelling lots of waste matter, but not much water was going in. I had up till then, a low-fiber diet, so I must have been very constipated. Over the first 2 weeks, I became really aware of where the water was flowing in my body. I could feel it going up my left side, across my body and ending just below my right breast. For days that's as far as it went, and when I expelled, the water ran clear. I thought I was totally clean!

Someone at work told me to try buying whole psyllium husk and drinking it in water, a few times a day. It should help clean the colon. After 2 or 3 days, I had an enema breakthrough! The water moved down the right side of my body. I kept getting wave after wave of nausea, I think caused by the toxins being loosened, and starting to irritate my colon as it moved around. a few enema fill-ups cleared out tons of dark, sludgy waste matter, and I instantly felt good!

Since then I am often able to fill my entire colon on my first fill-up. Since I still take psyllium husk with water every day (about 2 times) I'm often able to go to the bathroom before jumping in the shower, and when I expel my first enema, it almost always runs clear. I have to fill up, jump and dance, massage my colon, and do it a few times to get even the tiniest chunks of hardened, stuck-on waste matter to come out. Every day I'm able to get a small handfull of tiny bits of stuff out (looks like bits of chopped peanuts), and until nothing comes out, I'm convinced I'm not totally clean yet. Someday soon I'll get one of those colonoscopy things done, and we'll see if my enemas pay off!

The best part of doing a deep enema every day is that I feel so light and thin when I'm done. I don't have gas all day long. I still go to the bathroom once or twice a day to do #2, so all is good. Also, a nice side-effect is that I no longer have any type of food cravings. At all! So I basically eat vegetables and fruits all day long, focusing on fiber and vitamins (celery, avocados, bellpeppers, cantaloupes, etc) and I eat a tiny dinner. Every night, I can't wait to wake up so I can get in the shower and fill up!

While I'm filling up, I sometimes get those urges to expel. I squeeze the tube to stop the water, take a nice deep breath while arching my back and looking up, and then I exhale, slouch my back (so I lean forward) and look down - basically an over-exaggerated way of taking a deep breath - and the urge goes away. I often count while filling up. I can usually count to 100, sometimes 150 (yay!) and someday I think I'll make it to 200. Enema counting. Haha

Anyway, that's me, deep shower enema gal!

Anyone else do deep cleaning? Squeak, squeak!

I also do some large volume enemas in the shower. I generally do it with a gallon Klystra bag and a large delrin nozzle that helps me hold it in. Some times after a couple of these I use a nozzle attached to the hand-held shower hose and take that until I just can't hold it and the water is coming out as fast as it is going in. I don't know how much that is but based on the feel it is considerably more than the gallon. I do all of this with warm water and then after I'm done I take a cold tap water enema that enters fast leaves fast and tightens everything back up and seems to wake my system up. Also the cool water helps return my body to normal temperature after the warm enemas and my colon generally absorbs the left over cool water so I seldom have any trouble with the trots afterward. During the summer I especially like doing this because I am outside a lot and this hydrates me as well as cleaning me.

Thanks for the tip on doing a final cold water enema, I read about that but forgot to try it, I'll start adding that to my regimen!

Let me know how it works for you. It took a little getting used to but now I rather enjoy the sensation. I do tend to squat when releasing it though!! It is colder on the back of my warm legs than it is even up my kazoo!!!

Wow, the cold water is a nice sensation, it's like a cool feeling slithering through me, and I was able to really fill up... I also squatted down when releasing everything and it made my spine tingle a bit!

Usually my body takes about a half hour to relax after an enema to where I can feel how clean and empty I am, but it happens almost immediately after the cold water enema.

What a nice way to start my day!

Great!! I'm glad it works for you. Everyone is different. When I have been out in the heat those cool enemas are the best! Instant cooling and re-hydration.

DanL, you are right that a cool one feels refreshing. I can't match you for volume though as I am a two quart max sort of person. Also I like it slow and soothing. Wife gives a perfunctory enema so usually I do solo with imagination.

I've often wondered if size has anything to do with capacities. I'm 6'2" and big. I'm not talking about fat. Even when I was lighter I was big. I'm Scot and German and am the runt of the litter but still built like a barrel.
