Reply to "Butt Burn"

Solomon,

You would take an alkalinity Test without eating nuts. I am not sure all of what is involved but I presume a special diet is given for that test. All I know is my surgeon told me butt burn is due to highly alkaline stool and that the Pouch would adjust alkalinity over time. Mine did. In other cases it doesn’t happen. If nuts increase alkalinity of your stool you can consume something to counteract the alkalinity increase. The trick is to find out what the problem is before addressing the problem.
