Reply to "Enemas"

I started using a fleet bottle with tap water; cleaning it with mild soap and warm water after usage and letting the bottle air dry. But it was hard to squeeze the bottle because of arthritis in my fingers so I turned to using an enema bag. I use about 2- 4 ozs of warm tap water every evening. I’m finding for the most part it’s helping  to empty my jpouch. My GI doctor suggested I do this and assured me that it’s very safe. I stop eating about 4 pm and during the day I watch my food intake and the amount of roughage I eat. I drink water before and after meals and in between (lots and lots of water).  My jpouch is over 20 years old now; about 12 years ago I started having a hard time emptying my jpouch and so my GI doctor recommended I try warm water enemas. I hope this helps you.
