HealthAndYoga™ GutFlo Enema Kit (Stainless Steel Bucket- 2 Quarts, One-Hand Clamp, 2 Nozzles, Complete Tubing- Hose & Colon Tube)-for Coffee, Water & Gerson Colon Cleanse Therapy- Home Use-Latex Free

My autistic son has been needing an enema a few times a year since he was little. I have been buying enema bags and they have always worked well until they break, and then I have to buy another one. He is now 16 years old and 150 pounds. A few months ago, my son took an enema from the bag and it worked well. Then last week, I gave him an enema and it didn't work. I tried it again and still didn't work. That has never happened before. I got the feeling that the bag just wasn't getting enough water in him. So I went on Amazon and ordered this enema cup. I figured that with a cup, you can keep pouring water in when a bag might run out. It worked!Well, this Healthandyoga thing is definitely good quality, much better than the enema bags. The stainless steel looks shiny and sturdy. The tube is a firm plastic, unlike the bag tubes that form kinks often and had to be straightened out. This thing even has a colon tube, which I find rather interesting, though I haven't tried it. I imagine it is to inject water deep into the upper colon, which would probably make it work even batter.So I used this on my son. I had a gallon bucket of warm water ready, pouring more in as the water in the cup went down. I think I used like 3 quarts of water (the enema bags are about 1 quart) before water starts leaking out, and it worked! YES!

After reading the health benefits of enemas I decided to go for it. I purchased this particular kit because the stainless steel bucket just seems a little more sanitary to me and seemed like it would hold up/last longer than plastic. I was afraid that using coffee for the enemas would eventually stain a plastic one and would look gross. This kit is great, I like how it has 2 different nozzles, a clamp, and the surgical hose which is plenty long enough when I hang the bucket from the towel rack and lay on the floor. It's easy to clean and works well, does not leak from connections. The bucket also has a hanger type thing on the back to hang it on a nail or something like that, kind of like an attachment on a picture frame. Now that I have been doing enemas for about 5 weeks or so, I could probably use something that holds more fluid, this holds about 5 cups when I hang it from the towel rack at an angle. I hang it at an angle so i can get as much of the liquid out as possible as the spout is not right at the bottom. Unless I'm going to do the 2 liters like some people do, this will suit me just fine.

When I became interested in doing coffee enemas, I asked around to see what people were using for the enema kits. Alot of people were using disposable plastic enema bags you can get at Rite Aid or Save-On, etc. The thought of all that plastic going in the landfill didn't sit right with me. Also, the point of the enema is to detox, so why would I put the organic coffee in a PLASTIC(!) bag? No thanks. I searched amazon and found this kit. I liked that it was stainless steel and some of the replacement parts are also available on amazon. I've used it about 6-8 times over the last couple months and here are my thoughts:-The stainless steel can is nice because it is sterile, but not so nice because (a) you cannot see the level of the liquid and (b) because a good portion of your liquid goes to waste because it falls below the hole that allows it to flow into the tube. If you want to salvage all the liquid, you have to reach and take the can with one hand and hold it up and tip it to the side of the hole.-The tubing is not able to be sterilized. I used one of my Medela sterilization bags for use in the microwave (you add water and it steams to sterilize) and it melted the tubing. That it cannot be sterilized like my breastfeeding kit is a downer for me.-The kit is supposed to include a valve in addition to the pinch clamp but it did not come with the valve.All over again, I don't think I'd order this produdct. I wish I would have spend the extra money and gone with some of the fancier, better designed enema kits on the internet.

This kit does the job very well. It is very easy to administer. I found each piece in good condition and easy to use, including the clip.Today was my third time and best yet. Works well if you put it on a counter and then lie down on the floor with a towel under you.The small straight tip works well for the colon enema. Place the clamp near where the edge of the tubing meets the tip.Make sure you let the water (or solution) run freely through all of the tube first to let out air. Then clamp it. Then get into position.Lubricate tip don't forget (personal lubricants work well or good olive oil, just avoid petroleum jelly or mineral oil).I had no trouble opening and closing it with one hand.Good idea is to do in the morning before you eat. I look forward to my new routine.Also very easy to clean. Happy cleansing and be well! :)

Well I have never done an enema before and quite frankly was a little concerned about sticking something up my bum. :/A naturopath had suggested coffee enemas to help clear up some gut issues and cleanse my liver. He recommended this enema kit.I have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought. I used the can and it worked well. All of the tubing and such is well made and easy to clean and assemble. After ordering replacement enema catheters from another source I like Health and Yogas better for the fact that they are not as wide. With lubrication there was really no uncomfortability inserting it. After an enema you definitely feel clean inside.I like the little travel bag it comes in as well.If enemas are your thing or you are a first timer, I would give this a whirl.
