Question
Tests showed that my fiance' has a blockage in his intestines and told him to do a 3 day cleanout with prune juice and laxative. Would using a Fleet's enema cause him any harm? I realize it might not help, but could it hurt him?

Answer
Dear Tiffany,  

I am sorry that your fiance' is having this problem. I would suggest you follow your doctors advice. An enema should be used if the other suggestion doesn't work. The only negative side effect I've heard of from using enema's is possible kidney damage, but that is usually a result of using too many enema's. I will keep good thoughts for your fiance's quick recovery.

Sincerely, Ken
