>Varies. To save money I just clean & re-use a Fleet enema bottle, filling it with water.
I think water will be safe, unless you use a huge volume. But rapidly drinking a massive volume of water by mouth might not be safe either! Everything in moderation, as they say.
Plain water given rectally is partially absorbed.
>Sometimes. They're more convenient to take at work, for example. I find the suppositories less effective though.
A convenient alternative might be a micro-enema. Have you tried one? You could easily take them to work. Each enema is narrow and only a few inches long.
>I'm currently chasing up Mebeverine with my GI doc but it looks like it isn't available here
I didn't think it was, I don't think alverine is available either.
