johns74 said:Vitamin E is similar to progesterone, so it's expected to have slight anti-testosterone effects. But it's also anti-estrogenic, improves circulation, so at the right amount it's overall effect might not be low T symptoms. If it does produce passivity and such, taking K2 increases testosterone (excess vitamin E increases vitamin K requirements).

I can try it, but I'm not sure how it could go anywhere past the rectum.

Why would it be different than a conventional suppository? Those get absorbed...

I have been trying to help him trouble shoot this issue and we have made some progress, but are still looking for a complete breakthrough. Basically, he has no ability to create the necessary contractions to expel solid waste. I am wondering, do you think vitamin E administered rectally could be helpful? I myself have noticed vitamin E has made my tissues a lot more supple and seemingly adaptable to stimuli. For example, in my workouts I can make more complete contractions of appropriate muscle groups.
Thanks for any insight anyone can give.

Large doses of oral vitamin E have been anecdotally shown to help IBS-C (the type with constipation). If your friend does not have any bleeding issues, I would try 2,000 IU - 3,000 IU at night and hope for some "resolution" by the morning. The reason I suggest taking the vitamin E at night is that in such doses it will probably be quite sedating. Combining with magnesium will probably increase both the pro-pooping and sedative effects.
Ddixon3 said:Thank you both for your reply. I'll definitely recommend the therapy. Haidut are you suggesting rectal administration? Or do you think topical or oral would suffice?
I don't beliefe he has any bleeding issues at the moment but will double check.
Thanks again. Should you have any other insights or commentary they would be much appreciated. Will keep everyone posted!
I would think just past the anal sphincter would suffice. You can look up a Google image to see it if you'd like. That's normally adequate for administering medicinal suppositories. I couldn't find any pictures of a wazoo though!Katty said:Going to use some of narouz's terminology here... How far up the wazoo do you need to put it? If it's just inside the opening, is that sufficient?
