Inflating small intestines as well?

Hi.

I'm, new here, but I've been inflating for a few years with water and air, and reading you guys' forum posts. Recently, while inflating with air (using my small Whisper aquarium pump), I reached my limit, so I decided to start letting air out slowly while sill being inflated. Eventually, I felt air moving in the bottom right of my belly. I was so startled by this unusual experience so I immediately deflated. I've been able to recreate that sensation by lying down on my stomach, leaning to the left to focus the inflation on my right side, and then when I feel pretty full, I relax a little and the air keeps going, giving me that unusual inflating feeling again. If I allow it to keep going, I feel even fuller than before! However awesome it is, though, is it safe?

I have read a few things on here about inflating safely. I remember reading that water inflation with too much pressure (shower inflation, typically) runs the risk of flowing contents into the small intestine that only the large intestine is meant to contain, which could lead to infections, or death. Knowing this, I will not try this with water, ever, and I won't advise anyone to try it with water either. Still, though, I'm doing this with air, so that makes me wonder: would inflating past the large intestine be safe? Could one inflate all the way to their stomach, achieving maximum capacity? Could the small intestine even handle being inflated?

 

Thanks for indulging in my exploration of inflation!

Hey dude, I saw your message and will try to answer it in due time but am busy for a couple days. I'll leave a response when I can!

At the risk of a bunch of "blow back" from others on this site. (like the pun btw?)

Be safe and have fun with it. Stop if it hurts but as long as you're relaxed and take it slow many people including myself will inflate until I even burp...meaning air has traveled all the way through the small intestines. However you can become nauseated when it gets just south of your stomach. So just be careful.

I'm hoping that "Sixteenthly" sees this...he's very knowledgeable when it comes to human physiology.

This is either one of two things. You either are just finding that you are using another section of your large intestine (there are 3), and are filling the right side of it. More unlikely and number 2 is something I haven't heard of before. I doubt it to be true but it's worth listing regardless.


Whenever I did this in the past and I inflated too much, the air would rush through my small intestines and into my stomach causing me to burp and become quite ill. It sounds like you aren't inflating too much and are actually controlling your iceological valve and filling your small intestines as well at a controlled rate, something I haven't heard of before actually.


Also regarding water, it's perfectly safe if you get an enema kit. Out of the shower has risks but a kit poses no threat to the average individual.

Hmm, now this is curious, something I haven't heard of before. Whenever I did this in the past and I inflated too much, the air would rush through my small intestines and into my stomach causing me to burp and become quite ill. It sounds like you aren't inflating too much and are actually controlling your iceological valve and filling your small intestines as well at a controlled rate, something I haven't heard of before actually.

After a bit of cautious experimentation, I do believe I am managing to inflate my small intestine. It is not consistently easy to do, but with a lot of patience, and with a less consistent flow than an aquarium pump, I can manage to do it.

I bought a handpump (the kind for the do-it-yourself blood pressure checking devices). With it, I can adjust to pressure without having to release any air. After a couple of times, though, I barely need to transition into inflating my small intestine -I pretty quickly start to feel air moving around in my lower belly, right below my bellybutton. 

Once I make it past my iceological valve, I can reach even larger capacities, such large capacities that my spine starts to feel pressure... which I try not to reach. Other than my spine, though, nothing really hurts. It's almost concerning since my spine feels max capacity before anything else does. As one would guess, it does lead to more immobility as well. I haven't found a way to comfortably get up if I lay down!

I'd say this is still along the lines of not safe (as inflating is), but so far it hasn't felt drastically different from just inflating my large intestine, as long as I am mostly vacated through the two intestines.

Whichever way you do it, the air doesn't seem to spend very long in the small intestine.  I've heard people say that the only thing which happens to them when they inflate anally and the air gets past the colon is that they will eventually burp.  I only ever did it orally successfully so I can't go on personal experience.  You might be feeling air in a flexure of the sigmoid colon or just past the caecum.  What seems to happen is that pressure from the colon prevents the small intestine from inflating.  I doubt it would be safe.

The pressure from the colon definitely gets in the way of the small intestine. Once the air passes through my iceological valve, I have felt my colon depress as the air travels into my small intestine. Once that happens, I've been able to slowly inflate (using a handpump instead of a constantly flowing aquarium pump), and the air seems to be evenly dispersed between the two intestines.

I do tend to burp when I'm inflating, but I always thought it was just my stomach getting preexistent pockets of air squeezed out. Now, though, I think I can feel some air escaping from my small intestine into my stomach before being burped out. It's not as fast as one would expect, and I can't feel the burp travel all the way through me. 

Another thing I should probably keep in mind when it comes to pressure on the small colon is that, with this greater capacity, movement is even more restrictive, meaning I shouldn't try to bend over if I drop something, or even use my stomach muscles to lift me from lying down.

Other than that, the pressure on my small intestine seems fine. I'll make sure to keep it that way!
