Enema on Yom Kippur

Question:

Is one allowed to do a water enema on Yom Kippur? Is it any different than doing it on Shabbos?
Thank you

Answer:

If you are enough of a choleh to take the enema on Shabbos, you may take it on Yom Kippur. As a side point constipation is beneficial on Yom Kippur to help keep in the body’s water.
