Please be *extremely* careful with this. The capacity of a J-pouch is much less than a colon. Putting too much volume in there is likely to injure you, whereas the coffee is merely pointless.

This contains a lot of general information on coffee enemas:

The article specifically notes that there is a lot of electrolytes lost in the evacuation process so you could get severely dehydrated unless you have a good strategy to replenish the electrolytes you will be losing.

I agree with you Scott about capacity.  Not sure why you think the coffee part is pointless since there is a lot of info out there about the benefits.  I'm just not sure if there are any benefits without a colon and whether it is just as effective at detoxing the liver.

There are certainly plenty of people advocating coffee enemas, but very little of that rises to the level of “information” by my standards. Coffee enemas have been reported to cause proctocolitis, which could cause you a problem. Whenever someone is making claims about “detoxifying” anything, I think it’s best to find out exactly what toxins are of concern. If they can’t name the toxin then they are almost certainly spouting nonsense, and if they can name the toxin there’s still a significant risk that they are spouting nonsense.

Scott you are right on with that.  J pouchers don't really have to worry about anything hanging about too long in the colon, as we don't have a colon.  And our turnover is extremely rapid. 

I don't want to put anything uncessary into my body, and especially not up my poor sore butt.   

I would recommend  caution with cleanses, supplements, herbal extracts.   They are not benign.  Same goes for OTC medications, and prescription medications.  

I appreciate everyone's input/concerns and they are all valid.  Thank you.  I'm wondering if there is anyone in the group who has actually tried coffee enemies and what their results were?
