I asked this on another thread to but seems appropriate to ask here.
I have seen on 3 different websites that you should NOT do coffee enemas if you are sensitive to caffeine. Is this true?
I am extremely sensitive to caffeine. It gives me bad heart flutters and the jitters. My doc recommended coffee enemas but after what I read I think it probably would be a bad idea for me.
Thanks, Pam :-)

Thanks for the links WC. I can add these to my Lyme folder.
I tried doing this and it was pretty hysterical. I'm not very good at do it yourself type stuff. I went out and bought enemas. I'm determined to try it again.
Pam - I have heard many people ask that question and it does not absorb into your system as if you were to drink it. I'm sure there is a post on it somewhere.

If you are sensitive and your doctor recommended it anyway, I would start with a weak coffee to see what happens instead of starting with full strength.

I'm sensitive to caffiene and I never had a problem in that way.
A tip It's great to do a cleaning round with distilled water and a dropperful of chlorophyll. It makes it easier to retain the coffee afterwards with the colon cleared.
Haley same thing happened to me. First time was ridiculous and I thought no way...but I tried two more times until I got the hang of it. It's been one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to detox for myself.

My LLMD gave me a nice little article on how to properly do these. Here are the links for whoever wants to print them.

Another tip: Put a capful of electrolytes in the enema bag, and use coconut oil on the tip as a lubricant.
Also, if you all don't mind I've composed a little song about coffee enemas. Here it goes:

Maybe you could sell that to Folgers and "open up" a new market for them.

IVY, didn't get that from Dr. J, but from an LLMD on the Eastern Shore.
Honestly, when I do them, I just use organic coffee in my coffee maker and add some ice when it's brewed to get the temp to around 101 degrees and in the water bottle it goes.
I skip alot of steps in the directions, but I take lots of probiotics, so I think I'm covered although I would think many would argue otherwise. :-)
