Hi Paul, As a "survey of one" an option you might want to ask about is the Peristeen system, it uses tap water as an enema--while sitting on the commode a specially designed foley catheter goes into the rectum, a balloon is inflated and tap water goes into the bowel via a squeeze pump. The average bowel program empties 7" of colon. Peristeen empties about 1/2 the bowel--about 2 1/2 feet of colon.
I wrote an article about it for New Mobility: /www.newmobility.com/2014/04/peristeen-for-bowel-management/ The average time it takes to empty the bowel is 30 minutes--time range is between 20-40 minutes. Hope this helps. Bob V On May 9, 2014, at 7:47 PM, Quadius wrote: > I wish I could get my bowels to move in 75 to 90 minutes.
