Fleet Enema EXTRA (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "So about an hour and a half ago, a nurse gave me this enema. I had had a bowel movement about 10 minutes before, but this is what the doctor wanted so I wasn’t going to protest. It was inserted, which was definitely not a pleasant experience but that was what I expected anyways. Immediately afterwards, I was already waddling over to the toilet as if it were a race against time, and gravity, at that point, and the experience in there wasn’t very pleasant (again, what I expected). More of the enema than stool came out at first, so I had to do all the pushing myself which was still quite difficult. This was uncomfortable and I was already quite nauseous. It could be unrelated, but I had been gagging up salty saliva which was unusual for me. The bowel movements were all very uncomfortable, and extremely painful which worsened the nausea. My stomach burns and is still having sharp cramping pain all over. Even my back and chest. I expected a much more relieving experience."

Fleet Enema EXTRA (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "This WORKS!! I never take the time to write reviews but this gave me so much relief. I have had impacted stool/constipation twice in the past two weeks. The first time I used a suppository and it didn't work at all; in fact, it made the pain worse. I finally decided to try this enema the second time around. It didn't hurt to put it in, but it did hurt pretty badly when the stool was coming out. 10-15 minutes later, two huge mounds of impacted stool popped right out. I was sooooo relieved. Use this if you have impacted stool/constipation. Note: I did have to get in the bathtub after administering the enema and pooped in the bath, kind of gross but it did the trick. Cleaned myself and bathtub thoroughly after."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "Had to take oxycodone for 3 days and figured it would back me up. I felt like I had to go but nothing came out. Tried the fleet enema and waited 3 minutes before I had the urge to go and a piece as hard as concrete came out and then the flood gates opened. My butt is a little sore and past uses have prepared me for a day of some cramping but this stuff sure works"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "I have been struggling with constipation for the first time. It’s been a good five days without *significant* movement. I tried this fleet enema and I have a feeling that because I didn’t hold it in, it didn’t work. I only had a couple pebbles come out, and now I’m worried about side effects, dehydration, and a potential impaction?? I pushed the saline out immediately. But just stressing :)"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "Fleet enema’s have always worked great for me. I can always tell when I need to go home and use a Fleet Enema, so that I will feel so much better. I go home insert the tip and hold the solution in as long as I can, and then after going, I feel so much better!!!"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "I suffer from having IBS and I get constipated a lot and suffer from it. Like others I have either hard stool that won't come out or only little hard pebbles. I sometimes have to use my finger to break up the stool so I can get it out. Two days ago I used a suppository to try to have a B M it had been 5 day with out one and started feeling sick with stomach cramps and nausea. The suppository I used didn't work. I was in so much pain the next day I used a fleet enema. The only thing I passed was the water. I took my Colae stool softener.. that wasn't helping me any way but I was desperate. I knew that I would need to go to the ER the next day if I didn't have a BM. Well 17 hours after I took the enema I had a bad stomach ache and I didn't stop pooping for 2 hours. OMG I felt so much better. It cleaned me out.. but why it took so long to work on me I don't know. I was so sick the night I took the suppository and nothing came out. I THANK GOD AND THE ENEMA I TOOK. I feel so much"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "Ok. I had been basically constipated for 2 weeks, only going a very little (a couple of peebles at a time). Having lots of gas & then OMG! Fecal incontinence. Had leaking sticky stool (very little) but it freaked me out. Contacted my doctor after taking Sorbitol 2x a day ( due to opioid meds), tried miralax, still nothing. The leaking bothered me more than the constipation but was uncomfortable with the bloating & feeling full all the time. The doctor recommended I use the saline fleet enema. I couldn’t hold it long at all, but it has relieved it somewhat. No leaking that sticky stool, so it is half a success. Will do a 2nd enema tomorrow & see if I can hold it longer & really clean things out. But I did get relief. I will keep Fleet enemas in medicine cabinet from now on."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "I ended up 4 days ago in A&E as I was in ridiculous pain from a bowel obstruction. 4 days of 8 bags of macrogol didn’t touch it. I could not pass gas and was in terrible pain. I was eventually given a Cleen (Fleet enema). It only partially worked, although I couldn’t not leave the bathroom for 5h. When eventually released from hospital, I was told to keep on 1 bag of macrogol a day until it all regulated. I must say, 4 days later, I am still in a great deal of pain, still can not pass hard stool (if any), and still feel extremely sore and feverish. I think this may work for mild impactions, not for severe ones."

Fleet Enema EXTRA (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "So I have Crohn's disease and I get constipated A LOT most times after pushing for 20-30 mins it finally comes out! This time I knew something was different( I'm also pregnant) I looked up info and after sitting in a warm/hot bath I found enemas online. I went out and got the extra one and after using it, it took about 10 mins because I was super backed up! But the relief was soooo worth it! Not sure if it's for everyone but I got super hot, and nauseous right after taking it! But it works !"

"I have blockages that develop over time high up in my intestine, very bad and bothersome. This product has done more for me then all the rest together. I will miss it. I hope the claims against it are found to be exaggerated and can hardly wait to use it again."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "I was prescribed the fleet enema by an ED doctor as I had no bowel movement for 2 weeks, was vomiting after eating, and had a very distended stomach. I used the enema and waited 5 minutes then had a bowel movement followed by a massive pain in my stomach, however, it was like a snaky type of bowel movement not diarrhea or like water. I still feel compacted at the top of my stomach, how do I know if it worked?"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "One things for sure, is that this product does what it’s supposed to. I’ve been constipated for almost 2 weeks due to medication. Yesterday I had an EXTREMELY painful bowel movement that had me literally crying & left me with a super painful hemorrhoid. Today I decided I couldn’t go through that again, so I tried Fleet for the first time. Getting the nozzle in was weird but so much easier once I relaxed and beared down. I was able to use 2/3 of rhe solution & waited maybe 1 minute before I felt the extreme urge to go. My experience was painful, not necessarily a strain but more like a burning sensation. I feel so much relief after going. I was SO scared to try, but it’s worth it."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "I rarely leave reviews but feel compelled to after finally getting relief from constipation. I’ve been constipated since a medical procedure I had about a week ago. I tried Colace, Smooth Move tea, and a full dose of Miralax today. I had cramping and a small, hard BM but was still very bloated, uncomfortable, and constipated. I decided to give the Fleet Enema a try before contacting my doctor. It worked within about a minute. I had an explosive BM, followed by some smaller, soft BMs over the next 30 minutes. I’m feeling a lot better and am so glad I tried this."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "I have a history of positive HLA-B27, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Marfan Syndrome and IBS. I regularly have OIC and have used enemas multiple times in the past but generally try to use other means first, this time, I shouldn't have waited. After days of taking multiple laxatives and continuing to not go, I finally broke down and used the enema. Inserted, administered half the bottle, assumed the position and waited 5 minutes like normal. Felt the urge to go so I sat down and immediately expended the water, poo'd a few small turds and that was it. Its now been 7 hours and I continue to cramp, get dizzy, sweat profusely, have heart palpitations and then I go a tiny bit. This has by far been the worst enema experience of my life. Word of advice, when in doubt, douche it out."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "I was impacted horribly bad. It was in misery. I tried stool softeners, ex-lax, and water. I hadn't had a BM in five days. I felt the need to push and I pushed until I couldn't push no more. I had a rock hanging from my bottom but wouldn't come all the way out. I was in total discomfort and misery. Every time I sat down I would scream in agony. I read about the Fleet Enema online and went to the pharmacy and purchased two. It was hard to administer since my stool was so close to the rectum but I managed to make it work. After administering the Enema, I immediately felt the urge to push. In a very painful push, I released the impaction."
