It's a fact that the rectum can absorb some amount of nutrients.

So, a person should probably be able to live for quite some time while only absorbing nutrients via enema, right?

Can it be done?

No. Your stomach and small intestine absorb most of the nutrients, your large intestine absorbs mostly water.
