Is it okay to use an enema once a week?
Posted by: Peg : Category: Enema
So I usually go for #2 three times a week, and one of those times I use a laxative (an enema). Would that be harmful or is it okay to use an enema once a week? I know it's definitely not a good thing, but my question is whether it's a bad thing?
Seems like that would be a bit harsh on your insides.
Gotta vote for bad thing.
And why in the heck do you need a laxative or an enema in the first place? Are you a scat freak? Or are you constipated? Eat more fiber and skip the chemicals(laxatives) and enemas. Salads, whole grains, fresh veggie. Maybe a glass of Metamucil once a week. Or house about prune juice…
Skip the enemas unless you are "into" that sort of thing…

You should be asking yourself why you only go #2 three times a week, that's just not normal. I go at least once a day, sometimes more.

Eat more fibre in your diet or use a fibre supplement, if that does not help then see your doctor.

Enemas are not necessary. Your colon cleanses itself if you are eating sufficient fiber and drinking enough (8 glasses) of water.

frequent flushing can force the body to absorb more water than it should via the large intestine, causing hyperosmolar cell rupture…which is bad for your whole body. Don't do it.

you should be having a bm almost every day……..try using activia and eating more fiber. more fiber you eat the more you'll, well…a laxative is not good on the digestive tract. you will lose too many electrolytes.
