Enema and Colon cleansing guidelines

Enemas and colon cleansings can be used to empty the bowel for stuffed excessive content, to treat functional bowel problems, or to improve the general health. Usually the term enama is used for singular irrigations to soften the content of the bowel so that the content in the end part easily goes out, or installation of drugs into the colon. Colon cleansing usually denotes a series of irrigations until the whole colon is clean.

How can enemas or colon cleansing improve health:

There are many conditions that can be improved by doing regular colon cleaning for a period, for example twice a week.

Bloating: Colon cleansing can help against bloating or inflated stomach and excessive gas production. This is often caused by an over-filled colon. There may be old hard stool laying in areas of the colon that do not get out very rapidly. This stool makes it difficult for the rest of the content to pass. An overfilled colon can also result from lack of daily stimulation of the colon to move. The colon is stimulated by fibre in the food and by daily bodily exercise. A diet with too less water or a diet with too less or too much fat can also cause these kinds of problems. Then content accumulates in the bowel, and passes through only when the pressure has got great enough. Colon cleansing can help to overcome this situation, but should be combined with a change of diet habits and lifestyle changes.

Edema: Colon cleansing can help against edema in the body. An over-filled colon will make the pressure in the abdominal cavity increase. This hinders blood and lymph to drain fast enough back towards the heart, and the body tissues get inflated with stuffed fluid.

Poisening from a bad microbial flora: Many persons suffer from a bad microbial flora in the colon. These bacteria, yiests and fungi make products that are toxic to the body, and make a person susceptible to other diseases. The symptoms of such a poisening are tiredness and all kinds of diffuse pain in the stomch and the rest of the body. Colon cleansing can flush out the bad microbial content and allow healthy microbes to take over the space. However, for a good microbial content to remain, change to better lifestyle is necessary.

Problems with upptake of nutrients: An over-filled colon or poorly working colon, will affect the whole digestive system, will hinder uptake of nutrients, and make a person under-nourished This can result in under-weight, general weakness or general problems with dayly functions. Cleaning out and letting the colon start from scratch can help the digestive system to work more properly, and then nutrients are absorbed effectively again.

Hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoids are partly caused by increased pressure in the stomach. Colon cleansing that brings the stomach back in shape again can hinder hemorrhoids to develop as a complication to the stomach problems. However, when there allready are hemorrhoids present, one must be more cautious when performing colon cleansing. A small enama can help to flush away hard stool and thereby improve the situation. Bigger colon cleansing regimes can however increase the pressure in the stomach temporarily, and this can worsen the hemorrhoids.

Headache, fatigue, and loss of appetite: An over-filled colon or a colon with bad microbial content can cause these kinds or symprtoms. Most often the symptoms are caused by the mechanical impact an overfilled colon exerts upon the abdominal organs and further on the rest of the body. Colon cleansing for a period may help to relieve such symptoms.

About the diet: colon cleansing can help to get an ill treated colon and stomach back in shape. However, in order to hold the digestive system healthy thereafter, it is necessary to adjust the diet and general lifestyle.

Anatomy of the Colon:

The rectum is the end point of the digestive tract. The rectum is powerfully musculated, and is surrounded by the powerfull levator ani muscles. The anal sphincter closes off the rectum from the body outside. You can easily stretch the anus to about 1 inch and also further  if you proceed slowly and cautiously. Between the anus and the ending colon there is also a spincter or ring of muscles.

The sigmoid colon is a looped section of the bowel just above the rectum, shaped like the letter s - sigma, The loop occurs at about a depth of ten inches, as can be felt if you push a firm object into the rectum, and up through the inner sphincter. The sigmoid comes in two sizes in humans. Some people have long sigmoids and some shorter ones.  Those who have the big sigmoid can probably take about a full quart of water more than those with the short one.

The descending colon is in the left side in the lower abdomen, and can be easily felt with compleetely relaxed abdominal muscles. It goes from the left wall of the pelvis up to the splenic flexure, that is covered by the left rib cage.

The transverse colon extends from the splenic flexure to the hepatic flexure on the other side right across the abdomen, and is sagging down at the middle, by many people as much as 3/4 of the way down at the middle abdomen.

The ascending colon extends on the right side from the cecum where the small intestine ends, up to the hepatic flexure. The small intestine expels its content into the ascending colon in liquid form. This colon part has greatest vulum and greatest ability of water absorbance.

While standing upright in front of a mirror with good light against the abdomen, after taking the colon cleansing soultion, the contour of these structures can be seen clearly.

Temperature of the cleansing fluid

The temperature of the water you can read with a thermometer, or estimate with the tip of the tongue, or against some sensible skin area like the face.

Cool water is 30 - 35 degrees C ( 86 - 95 degrees F ) Warm water is 40 - 42 degrees C ( 104 - 108 degrees F ) Hot water is 43 - 45 degrees C ( 110 - 113 degrees F ) Don't take water any hotter than 40 C or 111 F beacause it is a chance you can you can scald the colon.

Guidelines for cleansing solutions

1. Pure water colon cleansings

Pure water can be used for small colon cleansings with the purpose of cleaning out the end part of the colon and the anus. It should never be used in greater or prolonged enemas, because pure water will enter the blood stream through the colon wall. and dissolve the blood, and make the body tissues swell Also the brain swells and the pressure inside the head increases. This is dangerous.

2. Isotonic Salt colon cleansings (Saline Enemas )

Isotonic colon cleansings have added salts in so that the salt consentration is in balance with that of the blood. This prevet water from being absorbed through the colon walls and dissolve the blood. Here are some variants of salt solutions:

Warm water with salt: Warm water with 1 tablespoon of salt to each quart.

Baking soda colon cleansing: 2 tablespoons of backing soda to each quart of water

Mixed salt and baking soda: 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of salt to each quart.

3. Soapsuds colon cleansings

A soap solution can be used for enemas. The soap you must be a pure natural soap without any additives that may irritate the colon. Here are some vwriations of soap enamas:

Ivory Bar soap colon cleansing: Hold the soap bar above the top of the enema bag when filling it. For a stronger ivory bar soap colon cleansing, use a container, put some of the bar into it and whirl the water around. before taking the bar out again.

Castile soap colon cleansing:  Premeasured packets of 2/3 Oz of soap can be bought. Instructions on packet usually says to dilute the contents of packet with 1 or 2 quarts of lukewarm water. This is usually too strong, and half the amount is usually enough.

Castile Liquid soap colon cleansing (Dr. Bronner's is one brand): Use about 1 teaspoon for each quart of water. Dr. Bronner's soap is available in plain (green label), with Peppermint (blue label) and with Eucalyptus Oil (brown label). The Eucalyptus oil variant will cause a very bad reaction in the colon, so do not use this for colon cleansing enemas. The plain Castile soap is recomanded. You may want to finish with a plain water colon cleansing to prevent any soap from remaining in the bowel to cause irritation.

Kirk's Hardwater Castile Soap colon cleansing: This soap dissolves very fast. If you hold it in the running water filling the bag, take the soap away when the bag is about half filled, or the solution will be too soapy.

4. Oil colon cleansings

Inject about 4-8 fl. Oz of mineral oil, vegetable oil or olive oil. Oilve oil is probably to be prefered. Hold the oil in the colon for 1 hour or more.  Then  admister a soapy water colon cleansing 3 times, and expel the oil and soapy water together. Oil enemas are good to movw out hard stool.

When the oil is in the colon, do not expel gas. If you do so, you will expel a blast of dirty oil with it. If you really need to expel gas, get into the knee-chest position for one minute, and then hold a piece of toilet paper over the anus, to prevent oil release.

5. Coffee colon cleansings

Coffee colon cleansings assists the large intestine and liver in getting rid of the toxic substances that have accumulated there. The caffeine in the cofee is absorbed through the inner walls of the colon and distributed to the whole digestive system. The caffeine then stimulate the movements and secretions of the digestive organs, making a rinsing effect.

6. Exotic colon cleansing Solutions

Beer (usually warm) or wine enemas are sometimes used, but they may be dangerous, because you get drunk from them, and it is difficult to controle how much alchohol is absorbed into the blood stream.

Lemon Juice helps dissolve fecal masses. Use 1/3 cup real-lemon per quart, similar to a lemonade recipe.

Epsom Salts (2 tablespoons per quart) can be soothing to the colon.

AIR can be pumped into the colon. However, some reports suggest that air can cross over into a blood vessel and be transported to the brain and cause brain injuries or even death. This practice therefore does not seem advicable. If you also mix air and water you can get very unpleacent cramps.

Urine can be used for enemas and many claim that urine is stimulating and rinsing the whole body. Use your own urine to aviod getting infected. The urine should be fresh, so that it is not full of microbes when you use it. New urine is a nearly steril fluid, and if you do not suffer from any urinary infection, your urine is free from microbes.

Enema equipment guidelines:

1. Standard fountain syringe

The standard colon cleansing equipment called a fountain syringe consists or three parts. The three parts can be bought as a kit or purchased separately and put together as one whishes.

The first part is the container or bag that contains the cleansing fluid. The container can be made of rubber, soft plastic, enamel or hard plastic. They can be closed or open in the top. Usually they are ment to hang up at a practical height to allow the fluid to go in at a preferable rate. Closed rubber bags can also be used as hot water bags. The capasity of the container can be 2,3 or 4 quarts.

Then there is a flexible tube from the container. The flexible tube is furnished with a clamp or a walve to open and stop the flow of fluid.

Often the container and the tube are made as one unit.

The third part is the instrument to be inserted into the rectal opening. A rigid nozzle is The most used type. There are nozzles to be put just through the opening, and there are longer nozzles to reach the depest parts of the rectum. 

However, there also exist flexible rectal or colonic catheters to be inserted deep into the colon for deeper irrigation.

There are also rectal catheters, called bardex tubes, having an inflated baloon at some distance from the tip to hold the catheter in place. If it is wide enough, such a tube can be used to flush the colon several times without the need to go to the toilet to expel the bowel content.

A 2-quart open-top fountain syringe is the best colon cleansing  instrument for the beginner.

2. Enema nozzles

There are many different types of nozzles available for inserting into the rectum. Good to use is a nozzle with a bulb on the end, to help you hold it in. These are called "N-Tips".  Many types of enema equipment can also eaily be orered throug the internet.
The N-tip is really made to help patients hold a barium colon cleansing, but many people use them for other colon cleansings. It is made of molded plastic.

You can also find enema nozzles with an inflatable baloon te hold it an the inserted fluid in place. In this way the fluid can easily be retained for some time.

3. Enema catheters or colon tubes

A standard nozzle will not easily the fill heigher parts of the colon unless the amount of solution used is so great that it gives some pressure. A tube to be iserted deeper can therefore be used. Such tubes are called colon tubes or enema catheters. They may be made form rubber or syntetic plastic types.

Some of these tubes have an inflatable baloon at the base. By inflateing the baloon after full insertion, the tub holds itself and the iserted fluid in place.

There are also more advnced colon tubes to be found, that have a inlet for cleasning fluid and an oultlet for contents flushed out at the base. In the tip there are a hole for the fluid going into the bowel, near the base there is a hole for the content to be flushed out of the bowe. Such tobes also typiclly have a baloon to inflate in order to hold it in place. With such a tube, several irrigations can be made in squence without the pationt having any need for going to the toilet.Nozzles and tubes.

The Colon Tubes  come in many sizes, and are usually measured in "French" sizes. 28 French is a small tube, and 36 is fairly large. Colon tubes are found of length up to 3 feet long.

There is not necessarily any great difference between a colonic catheter and a urinary catheter of a large size. Therefore urinary catheters can be used, but a catheter used as a colon tube must never be used in the urinary tract thereafter.

4. Guidelines for Conversion of French size to standard measures

Catheters or tubes are measured in French size, inches or mm. Here are a table for conversion between these measures.  

Fr. size      Inches        mm
   18            ~¼         5.7
   24           .30         7.6
   28           .35         8.9
   32           .40        10.2
   36           .45        11.5
   42            ~½        13.4
   48           .6         15.3
   60            ¾         19.0

5. Materials that bags, tubes or nozzles are made from

Rubber is the traditional material for many of these products. However, ruber is dissolved if you use vazeline to lubricate the rectal opening or use oily enemas. Equipment made of plastic is robust against oily substances.

Some people also are allergic against rubber, and serious reactions sometimes occur. Rubber also give some friction against the skin in the rectal opening. This helps to hold the tube in place, but can be unpleasant.

Because of these reasons, smooth plastic equipment is probably the best to use.

6. Differnt enema bag types

A 4 quart colon cleansing jug can be made from a Rubbermaid 1 gallon orange-juice pitcher. Drill a hole near the bottom of the pitcher, insert an all-thread pipe nipple of about 3/8" size, and seal with nuts pressing on rubber washers sealed with RTV (bathtub caulk) or contact cement. Attach plastic tubing to exposed end of pipe nipple, held with hose clamp, and sealed with same sealant. You will have to make or order a large diameter colon cleansing nozzle or colon tube, although the end of the plastic tube can be smoothed off and used just like that.

A 4 quart bag can be made from a Faultless brand ice bag. Drill a hole in the center of the plastic cap, and adapt as above with the pipe nipple, etc. Get an 8-32 Eye Bolt with machine screw threads, 2 8-32 fender washers as large as available, and 2 8-32 nuts. Poke a hole in the center of the end of the bag opposite the filling mouth just big enough to take the eye bolt. Screw one nut onto the eye bolt. Place a washer on the eye bolt. Put contact cement onto the washer facing away from the ring end. Push into the bag from the outside. Coat the other washer with contact cement, and place over the exposed end of the eye bolt inside the bag. Screw the other nut on to hold the bag between the two washers. This should provide a leak-proof hanging hook for the bag. Glop some contact cement on the inside washer and nut to prevent rust. Voila! A 4-quart colon cleansing bag!

Guidelines about positions:

An enama and colon cleansing can be taken in many positions. The preference of position may be different if you take the colon cleansing by your own or have someone administer the colon cleansing to you.

Laying on your back, and possibly with your knees bent up and your legs spread apart is one alternative. By this position you can easily watch how the colon cleansing solution spreds in your abdomen. First you will se that the region above your groin expand when your sigmoid colon fills up. Then the left side of you abdomen engorges as your descending colon fills up. The the rest of your abdomen is pumped up as yor transverse and ascending bowel fills up. In this position you also easily can massage your abdomen to easen the distribution of the solution and to better clean up you bowel inside if you take the colon cleansing for medical reasons.

In the sims position the recipient is lying on his left side with his right leg bent up bringing his knee towards his chest. In this position the colon cleansing nosle can easily be held and supported by the right hand. In this position the sigmoid and descending colon easily fills, but some more pressure is needed to fill up the rest of the colon that is in the elevated right side.

You can also use the oppsite of the Sims's position, that is laying on your right side and bending up your left leg. In this position you ned some more pressure to make the water flow in, but then the water easily fills up the transverce and ascening colon right down to the innermost parts of your colon.

By the The Knee-chest-position the enemee is supported by the knees and the shoulders, so that the butt and rectal opening is up in the air and the breast and head down. In this position the water easily flows down filling the transverce colon. The position is good to delute deep-seated constipation and to let gas inside the colon easily float up an out.

You can stand upright while taking the colon cleansing. If you do so, you have to hold the enwma nozzle firmly in place. This position has the advantage that it allows filling in more water that any other position.

You can lay down on your belly,  but preferably with your upper body elevated by means of some pillows or just by supporting your upper body with your elbows. This position restric the amount of water you can hold because of the preassure up on the abdomen, but it may feel very stimulating.

Sitting on the floor allows you to tense certain skeletal muscles. The floor helps hold the nozzle in. This may not be the greatest position for filling and cleaning the bowel, however.

You can sit on a chair, in a bathtub or on the floor, bending up and spreading your legs and arching your lower back so that your rectal opening is exposed and easily at hand. This position lets  your arms be free to do any manipulation you wish.

Leaning over the edge of the bathtub is similar to getting on your hands and knees, but it leaves your hands and arms free, and is a little easier to stay in that position for a while.

How many irrigations should be used

To clean out the colon totally, several subsequent irrigations are necessary. However, a total flushing of all contents is seldome necessary.

Often it suffices to instill a small amount of fluid that cleans out the rectum and the end of the colon, and that stimulates the rest of the bowel to empty itself effectively towards the rectal opening.

To get a more thorrough clensing, first flush out the terminal ends of the colon with a small enema. Then instill one or two greater and deeper enemas so that the fluid reaches all the parts of the colon. Then the contents of the whole colon will be softened and will get out in some hours.

To clean the colon totally out, you must admister several larger enemas until the content that comes out is totally clean. Such great procedures imply some dager, isotonic salty solutions must be used in order to hinder the blood to be deluted with to much absorbed water.

How much cleansing solution should you use?

The capasity of the bowel to resceive enema fluids vary greatly individually, and from time to time for each person. The personal variations are due to factors like the size of the colon, the exendability of each  individual colon, and the muscular resistance in the colon towards filling. The colonic capasity averidge to about 7 quarts if the colon is empty and totally relaxed, but this is seldome the case.

A realistic averidge colon capasity is perhaps 4 quarts. Timely variations by the same individual is due to factors like de amount of stool presented, the ampount of gas in the colon, bodily position, and variation in bowel muscular activity. The volum of the cleansing fluid should therefore be between 2 and 4 quarts.

Guidelines for the filling of the bowel

Before insertion of the nozzle, the anal opening should be lubricated with vazeline both outside and inside the anal hole. Also the nozzle shuold be lubricated.

Relaxe and isert the nozzle slowly with a gentle but determined pressure. Then the rectal muscles relaxe, and the nozzle glides in easily. Then fill up your colon slowly. If you feel resitence or urge to expell the solution, stop a while until the colon relaxes again befor filling further. Massage your stomack with your fingers to distribute the solution inwards.

Retention:

It is difficult to retain an colon cleansing in more than 5 minutes because of the pressure from the peristaltic action of the bowel. In the first of a series, the bowel is seldome clean, and this adds to the pressure. However, by intence colonic pressure, it is seldome wise to rise up and let go on the toilet seat at once. When rising up, the gravity will add to the pressure, and an accident easily occurs. It is better to wait to the peristaltic motion have passed through the whole bowel, and expell the bowel contents in a quiet moment.

A trick to use is to lie face down on the bed, and wait for three waves of cramps to pass down. After the third cramp, you can expel, and get a real good expulsion. If the cramps are extreme, however, just don't wait. Another aid in retaining the water is to get into the knee-chest position when the pressure builds. This causes gravity to hold the water in.

Another method is to lie on your back, and massage the colon with both hands. Whenever you feel pressure building, or can feel a big bulge with your hands, massage around that area until the pressure relaxes.

Some people recommend rolling from one side to the other every minute or so. The idea is that the water will flow repeatedly downhill, alternately filling the descending and sigmoid colon and then running down to the cecum. This is supposed to break up any masses in the transverse.

Need I mention that some people use a butt plug to hold the water in?

Emptying the bowel:

It is most practical first to try to expell the colon cleansing fluid by sitting on the toilet chair. However this position may make it difficult to get the fluid out, the ascending colon must work the enrma fluid upwards against gravity, the transverse colon will sag down holding a large quantity of water, and the descending colon will kink at the junction by the sigmoid because of the weight of the water, and thereby lock the fluid. You can however unlock the descending-sigmoid junction by getting up and laying down some while, getting into the knee-chest-position, laying at your left side or turn around flexing your body as if you are looking over your right shoulder. It may be necessary to expell the fluid laying in the bathtub. This will however require you to clean yourself andthe bathtub afterwords.

Colon cleansing the colonic way

By this method you use a thick cathter with a inflatable baloon to hold it in place in the rectum, or  a hollow speculum in your rectum. The cathter or speculum shall be in place the wole time and not be taken out for expellation of the enema fluid. There must be a tube used to pump in the fluid and another divergent tube through which you can empty the colon. There must also be valves or clamps to be opened and shut appropriately for instilling and emtying the fluid. There must also be a pump to pump in the fluid and a great container to hold all the fluid needed in a series of flushes.

When everyting is in place and the catheter or speculum is inserted into your rectum, you pump in the fluid slowly. You shall not use too much fluid. The colon shall not be filled completely. Then massage your stomack to distribute the fluid inside your colon. The open the outlet and let the fluid go out. You can ease the emptying by pressing at your stomack. Repeat this procedure several times until your colon feels clean.  By this method the end part of the colon will be cleaned out first, and step by step steadily higher parts of your colon will be cleaned out.

Getting rid of gas in the bowel

A lot of gas in the bowel makes it difficult to get a good cleanage of the bowel, and to get the enema fluid out. It is a good idea to get the gas out before you instill the enema fluid. If it is still to much gas in the bowel when the fluid is inside, you can also try to get the gas out before you sit down to expel the fluid. To get the gas out, you can use the following procedure.

Sit down at the floor and press with a hand at the lower right part of your stomack. Bend a little foreward when you do so. Then lay down on your back. Keep pressing at the lower right part of your stomack. Slowly roll on to your right side. Press higher up on the right side of your stomack with a hand. Move your hand towards the upper mid section of your stomach and press there. Then roll further the same way onto your stomack. Now keep on pressing under you at the upper mid part of your stomack, Then rise your backside up so that you get into a knee-chest position with your head as low as possible. Press at the left upper part of your stomack. Try to relax as much as you can in this position. Now the air is at the end of your colon and will often go out without any strain. If not you can rise up and press the air out with more muscular force.
