Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Well I think any " harm " would be offset by diminishing the real pain and god knows what else caused by impaction or toxins being reabsorbed. We recently bought an enema kit in the US for Tom. THe nurse's advice was not to do more than once a month. SO far we haven't needed to use it, when we do, we will - it took two enemas on top of days of movicol, changed diet, senna - to get Tom cleared for colonoscopy and then he only cleared 20 minutes before he was due to go into theatre. I'm not sure what a psychosexual problem might be but if we're talking about homosexuality (and I do think and certainly hope we're not) being caused by it I speak as the proud sister, niece and great niece of gay men, none of whom had any medical bottom interference at all that they're aware of. LOL ly if Tom ever " gets it on " with anyone at all it will be a miracle, it would be his autism getting in the way of this, which is exacerbated by his terrible capacity to back up excrement to the point of filling his entire bowel (as evidenced by his recent xray) and which we've shown to be helped by clearing him out. This is the boy that regained 200 words after his first clear out. If we thought he'd stay still for a proper colonic irrigation, we would do it. He is banging his head as I write. In a minute he'll use the toilet and stop banging his head. My friends daughter was born without a link between her anus and bowel. Major bottom interference for years and years in order to keep the new opening from closing. She's a pretty normal young woman as far as I can make out, just glad to avoid the alternative which would have been a bag.
