Enemas for IBS
Purpose of Enemas Enemas have been used to varying degrees for different types of conditions and symptoms. IBS patients primarily go under this procedure to clean out their rectum in hopes of clearing their bloating, gassiness, constipation, etc. What are Enemas This procedure is believed to help remove toxins and build-ups in your colon. They say a healthy colon equals a healthy life. This is true if only the colon can be properly cleaned by enemas.
Areas of Concern The largest concern with enemas, is that the fluid injected into the colon can actually disrupt the bacterial balance that exists. Yeast can start to proliferate if the good bacteria count has been reduced and flushed out by the fluids. Another concern is the possibility of puncturing the colon walls the performing the enema which can lead to infection and other immediate problems. My recommendation is to avoid enemas altogether. There are many other type of treatments and remedies available that can treat your symptoms.
