Enemas

Warning TMI below:

Had to go for a barium enema (doc was thinking colon cancer, thankfully not). The night before I had to take this super laxative, this stuff was intense. In about 10 minutes after drinking it I was on the crapper, for about the next 2 hours. After that, had to give myself an enema with the kit they gave me. Then the next morning at the hospital, got the barium shot up there, they put a balloon up right behind and inflate it so you don't "drop" the barium. I think I have an idea of what childbirth feels like for women now.

I'm going to let myself die the next time a doc says he wants to do that.

In Egypt they were obsessed with cleaning out the colon. The believed the answer to staying young and living long, was removing the waste from your bowels because they affiliated it with death.

So they would constantly consume laxatives to flush themselves out. I don't remember if they ventured with colonics though.

There was a period of time in France during the reign of one of the Louises (Louis XIV?) where the nobility was absolutely obsessed with enemas as well, to the point of having them done every single day. They even had special enema syringes made out of gold and mother of pearl, as well as different formulations scented with roses and whatnot.

They used to call them "restaurants", as in "to restore". IIRC, tobacco enemas were also quite the rage at that time which might have explained why enemas were so popular (the obvious nicotine addiction).

Ah I used to get those when I was 4. I would get constipation often then because I used to be too lazy to take a crap, and I ended up holding it in for a week at a time. Then it'd turn rock hard, and I'd get major constipation, and get a bloody anus if I was able to force it out.

Interesting. But that's a load of crap. I don't mean the crap itself, but the "colonblow" special ingredients. It's just psyllium husks and stevia. You can get stevia from any health food store, and metamucil is basically just psyllium husks as well.

Perhaps for their product to work you just consume more than your usual dose of metamucil...

Actually that is a suppository, not an enema.
 
FunnyAss Thread!

I do believe all those people who do the anal stuff get enemas all the time. I think they may even have flavored ones.

I've had a colonoscopy before. I had some blood in my stool and the doctor wanted to make sure it wasn't anything serious. It wasn't, but next time I may take my chances. A colonoscopy is when they put a tube with camera and air up your butt and probe your colon. Not fun, but I was pretty much out at the time. I do remember some serious pain though. I can't believe the fart I let out when it was over. The nurses said they were used to it though. 😱

You know, coincidentally, this came up at a discussion yesterday - apparently the membranes of the colon absorb nutrients (& others, this is important) much quicker than if it's put in the "other way" - basically, the focus wasn't so much on enemas, but I digress - essentially, you can get blitzed if you get an enema with one can of beer - if you do any more, your ass is going to the hospital for alchohol poisoning (pun intended).
