Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "Anxiety sometimes makes me constipated, but it was really bothering me this time. I was scared to use an enema...but uncomfortable enough to go for it and I didn't make it through half the bottle before I had to go...seriously less than a minute. It was miraculous. I feel so much better and had no pain from it, only a little stomach cramping but only a few seconds worth. I guess I'll just save the other half lol. Would definitely recommend. Oh..I also put coconut oil on the tip because I was nervous Haha and that worked too."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I was having constipation issues and hard stools that wouldn't come out due to Medicine I was on for bladder infection. So I went an got a fleet enema and took it within a second of taking it, I was able to go but it hurt cause the plug wasn't closed and the stool had to break free of that and once it did everything came out. It left me sweating alot and minor cramps in my stomach while using the bathroom but after like 5 to 10 minutes cramping stopped and I felt better. Fleet is good but if your poop is so hard it hurts when it does finally come out."

Fleet Phospho Soda (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "Very strong but gentle. Box says wait 30 min to 6 hours. Found from personal experience that you don't take this unless you plan on staying home. It always took 2 hours to work for me so once I took it and then ran some errands, expecting to be home in 45 minutes-plenty of time of course (since it was the only time I ever took it and left home) it started working in 30 minutes as the box said. Once you feel a "gurgling" feeling in your intestines you better get to a bathroom. Fortunately I was close to home but barely made it home since my insides had turned to water. Once it starts working I have a few watery movements over 2 hours then all is well. No cramping, tastes better if diluted with lots of cold water. Drink it as fast as you can."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Bowel Preparation "I had a horrific reaction to this Fleet Enema when I had to use for a bowel prep. I have internal hemorrhoids and did not know it until after my scope, but my insertion was horrible. It got 10 times worse when I applied the fluid. It was so bad I was could only use 1/2 the bottle because of the pain. I had to go to the bathroom immediately where most the water came strait out, I did go to the bathroom as well. But I had so much rectal swelling, seriously it had me in tears. I would prefer magnesium citrate any day then to have to go back through that. I also still have rectal pain from the trauma and it’s been almost a month now. Please be careful!"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I love these. My fiancée has been struggling with intense constipation. She hasn't had a bowel movement other than a few bunny poops in two weeks. We finally decided to do the enema. The top is incredibly easy to push it. She said it was s tiny bit uncomfortable but didn't hurt. I squeezed about 1/4-1/2 into her rectum, at times slowly and other times quickly accidentally before she screamed to take it out and rushed to the bathroom. She's been having a successful bowel movement for ten minutes! That's how much was impacted. And it only took three minutes of this enema to get it out!"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I have struggled with chronic constipation for years, unfortunately, ever since I was a child. Fleet Enemas are a lifesaver for when I need some relief. They are easy to use, and for me, get most of the job done. I am rating it a 9/10 only because sometimes I still have some stool left inside me even after enema usage. However, I have problems with motility issues, too, so I am pretty sure it is my body and not the enema causing that. One tip I have is to try and hold the enema in for as long as possible. I try for five minutes. When I started using using enemas, I held in the solution for one minute and only initially expelled the clear fluid. The saline makes you feel like you really have to go, but if the shorter you hold it in the less stool will initially come out. There is some cramping for me when I try to hold it in for the 5-minute period, and it can be difficult, but it is what gives you the best results!"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Bowel Preparation "I’m sure this is great for constipation, but I was not constipated and told to use for bowel prep before an examination - was fine and easy to initially evacuate and then had no issues. But about 4 hours later I’ve started experiencing unexpected stomach cramps and diarrhea. Not sure why the effects are lingering for me."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Bowel Preparation "I had a painful insertion. I think I might have hemorrhoids. It appeared to do little. I had applied about 1/4 of container and had voided bowels just a few hours earlier. Impossible for one person home alone to use effectively. Designers must know this."

OsmoPrep (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Bowel Preparation "I have taken OsmoPrep twice, once for my Colonoscopy, the second time for surgery. I had no problems either time. No vomiting, cramps, pain. I did have to cut the pills in half because it was difficult for me to swallow them. Other then that, no problems."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "Did not finish the bottle because I immediately felt the urge. Had a lot of cramps but listened to music to get my mind off of it. Started around 6:30pm kept getting up to use restroom. Felt good after two hours. Give yourself enough time. Definitely worth it!"

OsmoPrep (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) "This is my experience with OSMOPREP: Procedure was at 4pm Thursday so the directions state to stop eating 12 hours before starting treatment 1. I ate dinner at 5:30 Wednesday and nothing after that. Started taking only 3 pills with 8 oz of water Thursday 5:45 am . after each pill taking I took a walk to prevent bloating and nausea. It worked well plus the walking seemed to make room for more water. So after 5 glasses of water and 15 pills things were good. The treatment started working about 1 hour after the first pills and 15 minutes between. "

OsmoPrep (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Bowel Preparation "After about the third set of 4 pills each followed by 8oz of water I had projectile vomiting. I was so sick and in so much pain. I thought it was going to be a great alternative to the liquid prep which I can not tolerate at all. Now a week later and I am still having bloating, stomach cramps, black bowel movements, weight gain and very swollen ankles (which is something I have never suffered from). I also did not take the last set of 4 pills and had to give myself a fleets enema to complete the prep. I noticed afterward however that it says to use caution if taking lisinopril and oxycodone so perhaps that is why I had such a difficult time."

Fleet Enema EXTRA (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I'm a big eater and I can't empty out as fast as I load up. Sometimes I'm on the road waiting for the next rest stop. And when I get there, usually nothing happens. This is why I love the Fleet Extras, you can carry a couple in your pocket and they are ready to help you when your only chance is that one stop along the interstate for the next two hours."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I’ve been constipated for a week now due to doctor prescribing zofran. I tried everything. Stool softeners, juice, milk of magnesia, and nothing was working. Saw fleet in store and thought I’d give it a try. It is easy to use, has lubricant, but had to get S/O to help due to I couldn’t hold it in for that long. In about 5 minutes it started to work. It was a little painful (cramping) but nothing like other laxatives cause. I feel completely empty and better then ever!"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I've suffered from constipation my whole life. For multipul reasons being perscriptions, anxiety, and just plain scared to go there are times I don't go a bit for 3 almost 4 weeks. Scary I know but let me tell you if you are reading this passage I'm writing stop. Grab your fleet enema take a deep breathe and give it to yourself. There is nothing to worry about and this discomfort you have been feeling will all be gone a short time after admjnistering the enema. It will not hurt and you will feel better. Quit worrying!!! Hope this helps I feel anyone who deals with this pain."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I had hernia repair surgery resulting in a ileus. Doctor prescribed Miralax and glycerin suppositories. Pain was off the charts. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks due to complications. Finally I was given several enemas and the relief was immediate. I just wonder why they made me wait so long."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I was constipated for 5 days I also have hemorrhoids I couldn't go at all I I think I waited too long by the time I tried using colace so I went to CVS and for around 4 dollars I got fleet. Let me just say I felt very uncomfortable it felt it felt really weird I was scared to use it even a minute later I had to go. I didn't even use the whole bottle as directed. My advice just take your time it's well worth it."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Bowel Preparation "Just used this product for first time in preparation for hemorrhoid removal surgery in the morning. It kicked in within 3-4 minutes. Seems to have cleared things for now. I get to do it again in the morning, oh joy. "

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "Giving this a 5 out of 10 because it worked but ruined my entire day. While it claims to work in 15 min to an hour, that was not the case for me. It took about five hours for this to work for me, a good portion of which my stomach was cramping painfully. I was in and out of the toilet for three hours after that. Fortunately this happened on a Sunday, so I didn’t have to worry about work, but I just felt sick, tired and achy the whole day. Had this happened a work day I would’ve needed to take it off."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I used the Fleet Extra Strength Enema kit and I feel like a new person! I felt the urge to go in just 4 minutes! However, the only downfall is the cramps that follow until your whole colon is cleansed. These cramps lasted about 7 minutes and once everything was out of me I felt amazing! Highly recommend the extra strength version!"

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I'm 7 days post spinal surgery and had been provided stool softener after surgery to help movement. After 4 days, trying sennacot, dulcolax, Beet root juice, plums, prunes & milk of magnesia I tried Fleet. Like the other reviews state, it isn't really uncomfortable, but just gets things moving. I recommend that you buy more than one, as I bought the twin pack and it was only a few dollars. First use, I only moved things enough that the hard bits came away. Then, there was some relief. Later that evening, I guess finally the other items I taken pushed the rest through so I had bad diarrhea on/off for a while. However, I felt 10X better. The next day, I kept normal with a bowel movement and again on day 7, I'm using the 2nd bottle."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "Perfect. Worked extremely fast. I was backed up for about 6 days before using fleet. I was scared to use it at first, but the lube on the tip made the experience as painless as it could be. I had relief in 5 minutes."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I have a physician-confirmed allergy to petroleum/petrolatum (inhalation-reactive to fumes; contact-reactive, e.g., a tiny dollop of Vaseline touching my skin; and ingestion-reactive, e.g., cannot consume produce w/petroleum-based wax coating). If I come into contact with petroleum/petrolatum, I suffer acute respiratory distress for 3 days which is how long it takes for the petroleum to exit my system. This is exactly what happened after I used a Fleet enema, and the company confirmed that the tip is coated with Vaseline (a TOXIC CHEMICAL). So I was inserting a dangerous, toxic chemical into my body where it remained for 3 days causing acute respiratory distress. Since the application of this toxic chemical to the tip of the product renders the product not sterile, why don't they leave the tip untreated?"

For Constipation "I am a fairly healthy 71 year old male. All my life I have been going 10 to 14 days between bowel movements. Over the years my doctor has given me various prescription and non-prescription drugs to try and shorten the time between movements. None worked. Three years ago, on my own, I discovered FLEET ENEMA. This is a great product. I now have movements every two or three days. Feel great. Sometimes I have to use 2 or 3 bottles to clear everything out. I highly recommend this product."

Fleet Enema (sodium biphosphate / sodium phosphate) for Constipation "I experienced severe constipation from using zofran in pregnancy. I was backed up for several days and unable to have to bowel movement. I went to ER and they asked me to try magnesium citrate, fleet enema or senna laxative pills. I purchased the fleet enema. After 4 minutes of using the product, I had the urge to have a bowel movement. The liquid came out and I continued to push but the stool was too difficult to pass. I stayed in the toilet for half an hour trying but eventually gave up. I went to sleep after that feeling discouraged and thinking I would have to try something else the next morning. A few hours into my sleep, I suddenly felt mild stomach discomfort and leaking watery bowels. Went to the toilet and everything came out quickly like diarrhea although some of it was still hard but much easier to push than before. I was so relieved and comfortable after using this product. Highly recommend."
