I presume that this means a fleet enema.  This type of enema is used to
prepare the bowel for various examinations like colonoscopy, as well as
for other reasons.  It has a large amount of phosphate in it.  Used
repeatedly, it has caused hypocalcemia and seizures in small children
because the phosphate is absorbed into the blood from the bowel and
lowers the calcium.  THIS IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY.  THERE IS NO CONCERN
ABOUT ITS BEING USED FOR BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS AND THE BABY CAN NURSE
WITHOUT PROBLEMS.
