I don't know how many people here are doing coffee enemas. I would like to share my experience with them, because I don't know how to deal with the side effects I get afterwards. I was wondering if there is a way to, at least, reduce them.
I find them hugely beneficial, but I was never able to keep doing them, because of the symptoms I get.
The days I do an enema (usually in the morning), what happens is that at night, after laying down in bed, I start to get bloated, having gases, some really fowl, mild gut pain, really greasy skin (more than I usually have), sphelgm, itching, sweating. I used to only think that it could just be accumulated fecal matter, toxins and probably they are being re absorbed...?
But I wonder if this explains all. Not sure here, sometimes what I think it's happening is that all food I eat on the day I do an enemas, seems to be not well digested. Because I've noticed when I go to the toilet the day after, the food that I ate seems barely digested. And, then, this is a "food party" for all bacteria in the gut.
For the reasons I've mentioned, it starts to completely disrupt my sleep on the days I do them. As I said, I would really like to do enemas consistently, but I can't just stand the fact it screws up my sleep. It's just a thunderstorm inside my gut, tons of noises and gases.
It seems it is pretty common for this to happen as I've been searching about it:
- Trapped gas after enemas
- bad gas and bloating after enemas
- tremendous amount of gas after coffee enema
- Horrible gas and bloating
I'm only putting links from curezone because it is pretty accurate regarding what I feel. But it is also possible to find other people saying they have the same issues on the Internet.

Actually, even after stopping them, I continue to have the symptoms. I suppose it completely messes my gut flora.
In the past, the only way I could solve them was by taking tons of probiotics and things definitely calmed down after.
So, my main questions are:
- What can I do to reduce these symptoms?
And
- What's the best food to eat after doing coffee enemas? Some people say to eat a regular meal. Others say it's not wise to eat fat after doing an enema (a regular meal for me was always a terrible experience I must say. And it contained fat). In fact, what should we eat on the days we do coffee enemas? And I mean, the whole day.
Then, there are a lot of other questions that I quite don't have the "right" answer.
I am not an enema expert... There are so many aspects that I am still not completely sure. The way I did was basically following my practitioner instructions back then:
- Plastic enema bags or better to have a stainless steel bucket enema kit? Or it is not really a thing to worry about? Mine is plastic.
- Grind the coffee right before doing an enema of buying an already ground coffee is just fine? I used to do with already ground coffee.
- What's the best quality coffee to do it? Should it be light, medium, dark roast coffee? From what country? Mine was dark roast.
- Again, what are the best positions to do it? I simply opted to lie on my right side.
- How much water? 500 mL, 1 L, 2L? I actually always did around 1.5 L per enemas as following my practitioner instructions.
- How much coffee? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (...) tbsps? Only did 2 tbsps. maximum.
- Should I put salt in the enema too? I would always put salt on my enema (1 tbsp.). Again, just following the instructions from my practitioner. I must say it feels really good and probably helps you to relax. Also, it may help to keep you hydrated.
- How much time? 10, 12, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour? Some even say that the more you can handle, the best for you. Other people say the opposite. I would just do 15 minutes.
- What type of water should we use? Filtered, spring,...? I always used spring water (dunno if its pH really matters for the purpose. Since I would put salt, I would probably change its pH anyway).
- What is the best time of the day to do it? Morning, afternoon or at night? I would always start doing them in the morning, but I would end up doing doing them in the afternoon sometimes, because of the lack of sleep they were creating.
- Should I eat before doing an enema? Should I be in a fasting state? Sometimes I would eat a fruit. Apple usually.
Another thing that bothered me was the time that it would take me to complete all the process. Especially the evacuating part. I must be so constipated that I can literally have 1L-2L of water inside my gut and it doesn't move at all. And to move, sometimes would take a lot of time (up to 1 hour or more). Some people say that happens because I am dehydrated. I wonder about that though.
@bruschi11 I've read you saying that you have been doing them. Do you get similar symptoms? Are you able to eat normal on the days you do coffee enemas? What is your experience with them and what is your advice when doing them?
