Reply to "Tap water enema ok?"

Yes, I would agree as well. It's probably not something you should do often, unless your GI or surgeon has advised it. Interesting points--I have read that enemas are "prescribed" in cases of individuals who have difficulty fully emptying their pouches, which can lead to fecal stasis/retention, which is thought by some to be a contributing factor in pouchitis. In these cases the GI would recommend nightly tap water enemas to help clear out the pouch. Enemas may also be recommended for those with stricture, to help empty the pouch. But again, these are all things to discuss with your surgeon.
