DIGESTIVE CHANGES WITH AGE
Colon slows down, causing: Food to remain in stomach longer Slower food absorption Slower elimination
Taste buds lost
Saliva production decreases
Gag reflex less effective
Fewer digestive enzymes Resulting in indigestion and slower absorption of fat
Constipation

rectum
Avoid giving enema within an hour after meals Increases peristalsis
Making it difficult for the patient to retain solution
Avoid administering enema to the patient in sitting position. Solution will not flow into colon
Causes rectum to enlarge Causing rapid expulsion of fluid
