Hi Jfill21.  Thank you for such extensive comments.  I looked up Aborbplus and will order it.  It sounds like a very well balanced and easy tolerated product.  Bowel rest with just clear fluids is torture.  This sounds like a nice mid point.  Anything that may help is worth trying. As far as the probiotic, I cannot take that as there is a contraindication with taking it when on steroids. I am on low dose steroid for the rest of my life now due to secondary Addison's and live bacteria can cause rare infections.  You are also correct with regards straining.  It is hard to resist when you feel a heaviness and that there is more stool to empty.  It is often futile, however, and the soreness and swelling just becomes worse.  I already use a spray bottle, pat dry, hair dryer thoroughly and healing/protection gel that I like by Secura and got from the hospital 3 years ago.  Unfortunately, life gets in the way sometimes and I am not always in a place I can look after that.  Also the leakage at night is a problem. I will let you know how the elemental shake goes. Not sure if I should get the one with dextrose or fructose.  I am not sure of all of my intolerance.  Any thoughts?
