Subject: Re: The Enema and Suppository board is history Author: Bonnie's Kid [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Thursday, June 27, 2024, 03:51: pm In reply to: Deputy Dog 's message, "The Enema and Suppository board is history" on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, 04:26: pm I suppose that this is one of the few discussion forums where enemas are a topic of active discussion. I recognize a few of the posters that have been active on other sites, and am glad some have gravitated to other forums such as this. Carol A has posted some very insightful thoughts and recommendations. In my household growing up, enemas were a common treatment for a variety of issues. Our family pediatrician made house calls, and the question always posed about our bowel activity, and then a suggestion that we kids be given enemas to assure regular BM's. On top of that, the adult's family doctor, and his nurse, also were proponents of the efficacy of enemas for mom and dad. I discovered their thoughts as I got into my teen years and saw the adult's doctor rather than the pediatrician who had retired. The 50's, 60's, and 70's were forefront in my upbringing and maturation. I'm sure that is why I continue to use enemas as an older adult. I'm intrigued by the experiences of those who grew up in similar households and times. Coffee enemas seem to be the latest thing in maintaining a healthy existence.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: The Enema and Suppository board is history Author: Sue mom divorced [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, September 09, 2024, 02:15: pm Debby, I also thought the same way. My mom, and aunt, were believers in giving an enema for most anything. I used to think the same. When getting a bulb enema on the table, wondered if I was the only one getting an enema or was some other kid also getting an enema. As I got older I would snoop. And discover I wasn’t alone in getting enemas. This was in the late 50s and 60s. I wondered how they felt getting the enema. Few times I remember my friends mom telling her younger brother she was going to give him an enema. Once it was all prepared she came and got him. Was exciting in a way knowing he was going to be given an enema by her. Never saw him getting it. But knew what he was in store for. Blessings for all. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, September 09, 2024, 04:02: pm To be sure, I didn’t mean any offense or getting weird when told I wondered the same as you did Debby. One would think it is, was, normal feelings, most likely, for a child to wonder if they are the only one who was getting an enema, or got syringed , by their mom or aunt. Did your mom use the bulb or higginson syringe to give enemas Debby? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
