Do not eat after using it. You will be able to eat straight after the test. You may drink water before the test, but not other drinks. You should use the enema even if you have just had your bowels open.
If there is no medical reason not to eat then you can generally speaking. You may not feel like eating though as an enema can sap your energy depending on bowel size and length of time it takes to finish. Saline or water enemas are more gentle then chemical ones but the cramping while you hold the fluid in and let it work can be intense. Say if you’re really backed up and constipated for example. You should probably let your gut settle down before eating, but if you want to you can.
Now if you’re in the hospital you need to check with the doctor first, they will inform you if it’s ok or not. Some medical tests require you to abstain from eating for a length of time. If you are bloating, having pain, or some kind of obstruction or bowel/intestine/colon issue then no. Doctors in those cases need you not to eat, even if a enema gives you relief. This is usually in my experience so they can empty you of stool and see if your body will kinda trick itself into jumpstarting or continuing digestion when it wasn’t before. I have gone through two major non-surgery bowel/intestine/colon/stomach hospitalizations where I was in serious pain and discomfort. Both times they did not want me eating nor did I want to.
If you were a little constipated and did a home enema; then if there is no discomfort or pain afterward it should be safe to eat. But I recommend waiting 20–30 minutes to let things settle. I’ve never wanted to eat after a enema personally.
Yes you can. Just know that by stimulating the stomach, you also stimulate the colon, or large intestine, the organ you just filled with water. It’s called the gastro-colic reflex. It may cause additional contractions. With nothing in the colon to expel, there may be some cramping. Give it an hour or two.
You’d better. You’ll die, otherwise. Seriously. Whether it’s one hour or five days, the first time you eat after an enema is eating after an enema. So if it’s NOT safe to eat after an enema, there’d be a lot more dead people in the world.
The answer is: what sis you take the enema for? If it was for an operation, then, no, you can’t eat until the doctor says it’s safe for you to eat solid food. You might be on liquids and ‘clear food” (ie Jell-O and aspics) for a week.
If it’s for a colon cleansing, there’s usually some progression of foods you begin to eat to purify the body.
If it’s to relieve constipation, you can eat right away if you want. Just try to stay hydrated and eat foods that will rebuild the ‘good’ probiotics in your gut flora, like active culture yogurts, Kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles, Kefir, etc. Licorice and licorice tea is good, too. And Marshmallow root, (available in most health food stores), will help protect your intestinal lining. I also recommend American Health Super Papaya Enzymes Plus, particularly if you are having acid reflux. Bitters help with digestion, too.
Yes but it should be light and add pure cow ghee little bit and restrict am ount.eg you can start with moong daal or you can start with mashed banana with honey.
