Fred4, I was very interested in your second post to this thread, but I feel the need to explain the one point on which we disagree:
Most withholders, including some I've known when we were kids, and some I've known when we were adults, do not react well to increased fiber, which can end up causing severe blockages. Why? Because withholders are very good at withholding, and eventually in the large bowel, the liquid held by the fiber will be absorbed by the body.
I certainly understand why you feel the way you do, and I admit that most withholders resent their enemas, because the enema cannot be denied; it thwarts the withholding, which for many is done for emotional reasons.
Today's treatment of choice for whithholding is a nasal tube with installation of a gallon or more continuously given directly into the stomach (usually Golytely). Eventually of course it comes out, but sometimes not until even a very young child has a gallon or more of liquid inside of him or her.
I wonder what those of us on this forum who have problems with the enemas given to them as a child would think if they'd had that done to them.
