Are multiple enemas a day dangerous?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Multiple enemas in one day can cause a shift and alteration in your body chemicals like sodium and potassium, and rapid shifts in these either up or down can be very serious. Worst case scenario could lead to seizures, coma, death. When we do this with kids who are really backed up and constipated, we actually put them in the hospital and monitor these things as we do the enemas to prevent problem

Yes: Not sure why a person needs multiple enemas a day. Are you on a detox regimen that calls for frequent elimination? You can potentially harm your natural ability to eliminate waste by frequently using enemas. Also, certain enemas cannot be used more than once daily.
