@Kimmieg56 posted:I feel your pain. I'm 7yrs post colectomy and still have diarrhea 10 or more times a day. butt burn so bad and constant that I am considering getting colostomy. I use Ilex paste all day. Always have some on anal area. Only product that works. Acidic fecal material just immediately breaks down other products allowing contact with skin. This product is not perfect but the best I have found. Some foods add to problem but I really can't tell much difference with diet change. Sorry I dont have better news. I am looking for help too. Dont feel bad---this is not a matter of cleanliness. Diarrhea is uncontrollable and the burn happens immediately. It is not like we walk around with messy bottom all day! Also a bidet helps. Inexpensive ones work fine. Good luck!
Have you tried different fiber supplements? I do not get a bulky stool without fiber, some days I use no Imodium and just meta mucil wafers. With just Imodium my stool is watery. Also in my opinion how clean your skin has a lot to do with it. For you not to feel the “instant burn” you have to stay clean and get your skin to heal. Only time I experience bad butt burn is from lack of fiber, spicy foods but it’s tolerable even with spicy foods as long as my skin is well at the time.
