Anyone willing to try garlic enemas a shot? For those who can tolerate raw garlic that is, I am considering doing it myself but I'm going to try some garlic supplements first. Allicin is like 1/50th the strength of penicillin.

For me, eating raw garlic seems to help.

I imagine even a healthy colon would burn a bit with a garlic enema... I think I'd stick to just eating it.

Good luck though

LOL, if you think your farts smell bad now, imagine what they'd smell like from doing garlic enemas hahaha!

I think you're on your own for this one. I take 4 garlic cloves a day for candida overgrowth. Would you puree them and mix with saline to shoot up your butt?

Lol, pb4.

pb4, that's exactly what I thought too!

what are your current symptoms and how is eating the raw garlic helping ?

i would think keeping them whole would be best to start - more slow-release that way - and much less messy if it decides to exit abruptly!

Gives a new meaning to "garlic press" don't it!

Ouch. That would hurt.

try taking enteric coated garlic pills if you want to get them down to your colon. Or eat garlic cloves if you want a more systemic effect.

yeesh, I'm sure you'd smell all over, not only your farts.

Keep us posted (good thing this is via internet) how it goes for you.
