Mayo Enema

Hi All,

I'm looking for a recipe for a "Mayo" enema, which as the name implies, was developed at the Mayo Clinic.

I think the ingredients are:

16 fl. oz. warm water

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup baking soda

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I would like to verify the proportions before I try it.

Thanks!

Rob

I use this same recipe often. I'm not sure of the name but, this is a strong enema. The trick is to mix it properly. First mix the sugar and add it to the bag then when u are ready you mix the baking soda and administer quickly. One note, you might want to use a balloon nozzle if you want to hold it very long, because it is pretty strong.

I have to definatly agree with Bullet's post here... if you use that recipe make sure to use some kind of inflatable balloon nozzle, or even better use a double balloon rectal catheter!! I was given this recipe by a fellow enema enthusiast and wow... it's VERY POWERFUL... so if you try that recipe, be prepared to run to the bathroom within a few minutes or just use some kind of inflatable nozzle unless you want an accident. Trust me, this recipe works, if you want a good clean out. This is one of my favorite recipes to use.

I have tried it and found in impossible to retain. It wanted out NOW.

I agree that the name "Mayo" enema refers to the Mayo Clinic where it was apparently developed, not Mayonnaise.

I'm not sure what the clinical indications would be for giving such a strong fast acting enema though.

Actually the recipe is 1 oz baking soda, 2 oz granulated sugar and 8 oz of water. Whether or not it was actually developed at the Mayo clinic I don't know. But, there are sources listing complications from it in certain cases. All these sites are from nih.gov, so it's a reputable site.

Thank for the feedback!

I tried this recipe some time ago, but couldn't remember the proportions.

What I do remember is it kicked my butt! 😮

You have to be in the right mood to try this. For the full effect, I recommend delivery via a nice long colon tube that is removed and replaced with an inflatable plug once the enema is injected. Have your rinse ready to go, set a timer for say, five minutes, and enjoy!

I did the 1 oz baking soda, 2 oz granulated sugar and 8 oz of water recipe here one night.

Blended the sugar an water first, adding the baking soda right before i pumped the mixture throu the double balloon nozzle.

After some minutes things started to happen, giving me wave after wave of delicues cramps. After about 45 minutes it burned out and I expelled. Did never got the must expel feeling some reports, just like the way I loves it.

Is it safe to make a bigger mixture, and what about holding the stuff for a longer period ? Maybe some in the health business know?

The mayo enema is wonderful. It is quite easy to take and has a very strong effect. The volume is quite manageable for me also.

I researched this at some length a few years ago and discovered that, while it definitely doesn't involve mayonnaise, it also is unrelated to the Mayo Clinic. Haven't a clue where it got its name, but I have read about the chemical reaction that causes the startling results. It depends heavily on injecting it as soon as possible after adding the baking soda. The instructions I saw said to take it in the knee-chest position with the bag at maximum height.

Tried this recipe last night but somewhere I found a mixture of 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of baking sodaan16oz water. It had an unusal cramping and about 15 minutes into it big cramps started. I went thru about 10 of them and found it impossible to hold. Rinsed out in the shower with a 36 fr colon tube. I will try this recipe again.

Did this mayo enema last night, with a recipe from this site, ! cup sugar 1 cup baking soda 2Qt water. This was a ruff enema barley holding it in with much cramping. Was as strong if not stronger than a M&M enema, A very harsh enema perhaps a little to strong for me.

I tried a Mayo enema many years ago after reading about it in my then wife's Taber's medical manual. I think that the real recipe is about 8 ounces of solution....and that's more than enough to turn one's bowels inside out. I've done them a few times since then to see if it was just my imagination regarding how powerful they were. It is for real.

I also tried the "Mayo" enema. A very intense enema. Couldn't hold more than couple of minutes.

Sounds like something not to try if your diabetic

I wouldn't suggest doing this one.

About this recipe you might wanna check out this sight:

I've tried the Mayo enema a couple of times and found it to be VERY potent! In fact, the second time I tried it, the cramps were so intense that I got very nauseous. Really haven't tried it again lately, but as another post on this thread pointed out...you need to be in the mood for this one!

I must ask, is this enema administered with a rectal tube, colon tube or is the douche nozzle sufficient. I have read the posts above from those who have used balloon catheters which is an item that I do not have.

Now, to the enema's effects. Is this similar to the lemon and baking soda enema where you wind up loaded with carbon dioxide?

For genuine medical use, this would be administered with a nozzle, not a long tube since this solution is for severe constipation where the patient would be really plugged up and you wouldn't be getting a colon tube far inside anyway.

Its effects are similar to that of backing soda and lemon juice, but the pressure and gas with lemon juice and baking soda is faster to develop than M&M.

Don't use these highly sugared enema solutions of you have diabetes.

Thanks Susie

I never heard of it but I will be trying it.

The mayo enemas described are similar to the "old 1-2-3" which calls for 1 Tbs glycerin, 2 Tbs epsom salt, 3 Tbs of water.

You can double the amounts and use an empty Fleet enema container. Be sure to shake well to dissolve the epsom salt as much as possible. The results are pretty quick with this one.

[color=#222222]The Mayo is a very reactive enema. The quantity is small and contrary to my preferred method it must be taken rapidly. It consists of: 1/2 cup of granulated sugar dissolved in a pint (16-ounces) of warm (105-F) water and 1/4 cup of baking soda.

NOTE: Over the years I’ve had a few correspondents that have tried the Mayo and informed me that it wasn’t as reactive as I’ve described. My thoughts concerning that result are that different people have different tolerances and reactions. Other possibilities are that the enema was not thoroughly mixed before taking it or was taken too long after it was mixed.

First be sure that the sugar is well dissolved in the pan before pouring into the bag or can, the baking soda is added and mixed into the sugar water immediately before injection. I flow a little of the sugar water through the hose to remove air, put in the nozzle or colon tube and then add the baking soda to the bag and give it a good shake or if using a can a good stir to quickly dissolve the soda, then hang the bag or can high and take the enema rapidly (1/2-minute or less) and get it as high in the colon as possible.

To accomplish the high injection the enema is best taken in the knee-chest position and if your skilled in its use, use an 18-inch, F-30 or larger rectal tube inserted as far as you can before starting the flow, then open the clamp and if you can, continue the tube insertion all the way without forcing as the enema goes in. This will insure a high enema that will do its best work. If you don’t have a rectal tube then use the longest nozzle you have so the injection is as close to the top of you rectum as possible.

Of course if you have someone who can administer the enema to you than you can relax and leave the work to them. When the enema is in remove the tube or nozzle, its thin diameter will lend nothing toward helping your retention however a thick butt plug will give you something to bear down on and can be of a help.

You’ll feel the enema working immediately and it will provide a strong reaction with a lot of pressure. The sugar, soda and water combination generates a lot of gas and the pressure resulting from it initiates a strong peristaltic reaction. If you can, hold the enema for 5-minutes you will have done well. The longer the hold, the better the enema will work.

For some people the reaction from this enema can last for several hours and you may wish to follow it up with one or two saline rinse enemas, 1-tablespoon of sea salt per quart, to help calm things down, don’t put more soda water in yourself. Plan on spending a full evening or up to half a day.

Oh, and one other little piece of advice, take the enema close to the potty, you will need to use it in very short order.[/color][/b]

Hi Marlene

That sounds like a really demanding enema,not for the faint hearted,but one I would like to try. I think, like you suggested time and being in the vacinity of the loo are essential

Thanks for that info

I am interested in the Mayo Enema Vs Lemon Juice and Baking Soda. The lemon juice added to baking soda releases carbon dioxide and plenty of it. I was wondering what Baking Soda and Sugar mixed in enema water might yield. Any chemists on the site?

Hi Rob,

Everything is correct except the sugar is brown sugar. Been having them daily in hospital for this past week. No extreme measures and pain free. Within 10 minutes No chemical effects.

@k2mmw: The reaction of sugar with baking soda produces carbon dioxide.

Its effects are similar to that of backing soda and lemon juice, but the pressure and gas with lemon juice and baking soda is faster to develop than M&M.

Don't use these highly sugared enema solutions of you have diabetes.

Susie's warning bears repeating. Enemas are fun but not worth dying over. Play smart. Play safe.

Here is how I think that the Mayo enema works. The sugar is broken down by the bacteria in the bowel. The more bacteria/fecal mater the greater the reaction. The sugar also causes some water to enter the bowel. The break down produces gas, CO2, and fatty acids. The soda neutralizes acids and in the process produces more CO2. Excess sodium from the soda causes more water to enter the bowel. Tried 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup soda in 1 quart of water. The reaction lasted for four hours with several trip to the pot. Reaction started in about 10 minutes with little or no cramping. Could be dehydrating and cause electrolyte loss.

This is my first post, though I have been lurking for months.

I love the cramps of a M&M enema, so Marlene's description of the Mayo enema doesn't worry me too much. http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=forum;ox=display;topic=70817 post #23

25 minutes ago I took a Mayo enema.

I did 1/4 cup sodium bicarb and 1/2 cup brown sugar, in 16 ozs warm water.

Back in a minute... I must go again...

35 minutes ago I took a Mayo enema.

Just juice and gas and I KNOW I'm going to have to go back to the toilet soon as I have cramps now.

I took the enema in the sims position on my left side and when it was all in me, I went to my computer chair and sat on a rolled up dish towel to have pressure on my bottom to help me retain the enema through the cramps. The enema felt like nothing but water to begin with but after about five minutes cramps started and at the ten minute mark (I have my kitchen timer counting up) I ran to the toilet to expel. I'm going to the toilet again now.

45 minutes ago I took a Mayo enema.

Just juice but it is getting clearer.

Back to the initial expel: I hadn't had my BM today but this enema caused me to poop everything out of my colon as I haven't had any real solids come out in the last two trips to the bathroom. I'm still having some cramps.

60 minutes ago I took a Mayo enema.

I just went to the toilet again and expelled a small amount of nearly clear juice. I still have wonderful mild cramps but have to get on with my day so I'm going to rinse now and try this enema again when I have more time.

Barb, welcome to the club! Your experience with the Mayo enema was very much like my first time. It created copious amounts of gas, but the cramps were actually tolerable. My second one was an altogther different experience!

Let us know when you try another Mayo so we can compare experiences!

Again welcome...and don't be a stranger!
