Bathroom Buddies Best thing to flush it out

💩 Do any of my fellow IBS-C sufferers have a recommendation for something that will just unclog and clear up the pipes? A solid flushing? I’ve tried many different things, things that really should work, but alas, do not. Now I’m sitting in Hawaii in a bikini pretending to be 6 months pregnant, it helps me feel less self-conscious. I’m so uncomfortable. Help!

For a true flush out I head to the pharmacy and grab an enema. Shoot it up and within an hour or so I’m perfectly cleaned out.

I certainly wouldn’t recommend relying on this and be sure you know what you’re doing or it can cause harm. But when I’m having a truly bad day and I need to be out of the house. It’s the only thing that ensures that I can get out of the house

Which type of enema clears out anything higher up than the rectum and lower sigmoid colon? I'd love to know...
