Hi All!
This topic is still foreign to me but I am curious if there are any other bottoms out there with similar cases.
I recently found out I have a tortuous/redundant colon, meaning I have a longer colon or more loops than the average person. Due to this I was experiencing bad constipation and piled on stress. Last time I bottomed was July.. I know, tragic. And I just got “diagnosed” in April.
Before the issues began, I was able to take it rough, deep, girthy, toys, plugs, whatever. After multiple attempts to just introduce myself back into position since July, I have found that I’m not able to douche for what could go on for like 3 hours. Now I don’t do that because it could only make matters worse.
I have began increasing my fiber and changed up my diet to low fodmap and hydrated regularly, which is recommended by my doctors.
However, I miss bottoming. Just to be honest. So I’m curious if there are any persons on here who have a similar diagnosis, or a similar issue when it comes to douching and any tips or tricks?
(A friend recommended to try light douching a couple of times a week to just release some “build up”. )
I don’t use a shower douche as it’s too aggressive on my body personally, have a couple of times. I tend to use (US) Fleet Enema bottles, I dump the saline water out and refill with room temp water that I will boil and let the temp lower. I feel like I’ve become a scientist just to bottom.
Help :(
