At Home Enema Newbie

Hey guys, with one more month to go before I'm back on insurance... I'm about willing to try anything to feel better!

I'm thinking some enemas might be in order!
I do know that my UC appears to extend through most of my colon... but I'm experiencing some terrible rectal inflammation that is pretty recent.

So... I've never done an enema. I'm a complete newbie to figuring it out. I haven't even gone to the store to look at what all it entails.

I would Love Love Love some advice on how to use them (tips and tricks not in the directions) or preferred brand/type... if those are even options.

I've looked up some recipes and did a search here on the boards but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for;
If anyone has any favorite recipes, etc... it would be much appreciated.

I'm thinking vitamin E cuz that's basically the one most talked about.
At this point I'm willing and ready to attempt to shove almost anything up my butt if it means ill survive until Insurance kicks in next month.

My favorite is a standard mesalamine enema. I've seen people post about vitamin E enemas but I don't know whether they have good success rate at healing inflammation. Another big one is a FT, fecal transplant. You would have to do a lot of research before attempting this though. You need a tested donor and their feces... Have you considered trying dietary restrictions and supplements? I think I've seen more success with those routes vs. vitamin e enemas. You could suck it up and pay out of pocket to see a GI if you're really miserable. I've had to do it, cost me about $300.

I kinda get the brushing, but what exactly do you floss down there ?
