Enema Alternative

Colon Cleanse Alternative to Enemas

When taken under the guidelines presented on this website, an enema is safe and effective. However, in some situations a colon cleanse using an enema is not necessarily the best approach. For instance:

  • When the colon is inflamed, a water enema may further inflame the colon.
  • When children are constipated, they may be afraid of an enema nozzle being inserted in their body or the water from a past enema may have caused cramping and pain that they don’t want to go through again.
  • The amount of time one has for the colon cleanse may be too short to take an enema.

All of these situations may be better suited to using a rectal suppository.

Here are two short videos to assist you in the process of using rectal suppositories instead of enemas for your colon cleanse:
