Reply to "5 year old with major butt burn!! Help"

Buy him a bidet. TODAY. Go on ebay. I got mine (Biobidet i3000) for $200, free shipping, and my non handy husband had it installed in 20 minutes.

It.Changed.My.Life. I was living with chronic butt pain, bad "butt burn days", etc. and when I am in town and can use the bidet, I am as close to normal as I'll ever get. I had discovered baby wipes years earlier, and the hand held shower sprayer was a lifesaver, but the bidet seriously improved my quality of life beyond anything I could have imaginged, and I have MORE THAN saved on TP, creams, etc. That $200 bidet has paid for itself many times over.

My other suggestion might be thickening stool-he might do well with the metamucil wafers? and immodium? When I originally tried metamucil, I felt it made no difference, but then realized I needed to take it in higher doses and more frequently than the package stated, and without drinking the extra water(with wafers, I ate a wafer and took 2 immodium before every meal, and then ate and drank regularly).

Best of luck to your little one. I had UC at 10, and J pouch at 19, and I am still learning new tips and tricks, 20 years later.
