@JEK posted:I've used a tap water enema/cleanse regularly for over 7 years. I started this regimen shortly after the creation of my j pouch. It enables me to sleep through the night and go for long stretches between bathroom visits. I've had no problems, however I am planning to move out of the country and have been advised by my doctor to use only purified bottled water (and to be sure to avoid bootlegged water-bottled water that is actually tap water). My doctor also mentioned that carbonated water filters out toxins and should therefore be a consideration.
Um...was he able to name at least one “toxin” that the carbonation “filters?” In any case, the purified bottled water suggestion is probably wise in places with questionable water supplies.
