Douching and gut flora/probiotics [was: Actimel]
« on: 25 November 2016, 10:40:18 am »
If you anal douche 2/3 times a week, is it advisable to drink Actimel or something similar, as I've heard that douching can upset the natural bacteria in the gut and it needs replacing.

Anal douches don't reach the gut. They squirt a bit of water up probably no more than eight inches up.  The lower intestine is five feet long. Any microbes necessary in that last few inches will be replaced when the next poo comes passing through.

Enemas and colonics only affect the colon, not the small intestine where digestion takes place, but prebiotics and probiotics are a good idea anyway (or so they say)
