Reply to "1 Week post-takedown. Feeling really discouraged."

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Things definitely are getting better.

 

KC23, I'd strongly suggested buying a bidet toilet seat off amazon. It's been a lifesaver thus far at preventing butt burn. Also, I've actually preferred keeping my output towards the liquid side as I found it makes emptying easier. Have you tried not drinking liquids with meals? I read somewhere on here that drinking liquids an hour after meals keeps things slightly thicker. Best of luck with your takedown. I'm not gonna lie to you, the first week definitely sucks but things will get better! I've also read that over time your skin on your butt gets thickened from the acidic output so you feel it less over time. Get some Calmoseptine or Ilex paste as a cautionary measure.
