Hi,please help,I have terrible burning,not bb,I think it might be yeast ,but I don't know,also as soon as I think I am done emptying pure liquid keeps coming out,I literally have to stay in the bathroom for 45 mins,I tried hydrocort supp but they made me burn sooo much!!I couldn't take it,Anybody??
If the burning is on the outside, try some regular vaseline on the affected area. It always worked like a charm for me, and helped protect the skin from the liquid passing over it. I always used it immediately after using the restroom.
Vaseline is good, and so is desitin. The zinc in desitin will help to heal the area. Is pouchitis a worry? Didn't you have a recent surgery? If you started a new med, that could be a factor for the burning. Also, do you have hemorrhoids or possibly a fissure? The hydrocortisone suppositories will make a raw area burn even more. If you have any lidocaine or numbing agent, use that first, then use the hydrocortisone after 15-20 minutes. Also, are you using metamucil or anything? Is the burning on the outside or inside? I will check back on this thread later, hope you feel better! Cheryl

I just returned from a 9 day cruise and for the first five days I had almost constant butt burn. Definitely was related to food or foods/drinks but I never figured out which one(s)? Probably the wonderful cookies/desserts they had! I'm glad to be home and back to my regular intake of foods which are all I need/want and never leave me with butt burn!!!!!

Thanks Everyone!Cher you are right I had my 2nd TD in July, the burning seems to be on the outside and the inside,I use calmoseptine which helps,but it hurts so bad while I am going almost like it is pure acid coming out ,very unusual,I just had my Doc call in some diflucan I will see if that works,I do take immodium and even more solid bm's hurt,it almost feels like I swell up inside after each bm,and then I can't empty properly,Thanks for all your help everyone,I will keep you informed,Ed
I had a bad night wed and a bad day yesterday, food related, i went all day yesterday and the burn was miserable . I have always used anti fungal powder to dry it out not keep it moist, when I knew i was done last night i used a glove to put the powder on and i woke up clear as always. this doesn't happen often but i have had my pouch 20 years and i swear by it and diet!

Ed, my husband has the same exact thing. He has been miserable since last weekend. He is going in for surgery Nov 14th, but the burning, aching and constant rush is driving him nuts. He can spend 45 minutes in the bathroom too. He feels like acid is coming out.
Holly, the dry powder sounds like a plan, I will have him try it.
