A member asked:

Can i take a whey protein enema for faster and better absorbtion? thanks in advance.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: This not a good way for you to do this. Rectal alimentation is last resort for getting nutrition in certain circumstances. The rectum is able to absorb certain things but I would not try this. Just stick with a shake!
