 The different enemas referenced are probably for a small volume of solution since the pouch is smaller than the original colon. 

I took the same volume for the J Pouch as I did for the Colon.  Keep in mind that when you are scoped with a J Pouch they push up into the ileum to peek around in there.  Therefore it is not just the J Pouch that needs to be cleansed out.  Volume is a non factor in all of this and when prepping for scopes I use the same Fleet enema bottle.

Therapeutic enemas and cleanses are a different story perhaps.  For scope prep enemas, there should be no difference.  You are not just cleaning out the J Pouch, you are also cleansing the ileum and if it isn't clear the exam will be incomplete as to the neoterminal ileum.
