Will preforming enema at the onset of a stomach virus help get over it faster? (since you're helping your body get rid of it)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely.: Enema only affect a portion of the gastrointestinal tract. And most of the pathology of a gastroenteritis occurs inside the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and probably won't be "washed out" by an enema.
