I've had intense itching at times ever since shortly after take down in February, 2000. I've tried to determine which types of foods cause it but have never reliably been able to determine. I believe it's due to some type of microorganism that develops in my pouch that I've developed an allergy to. Recently I've found that wiping with a Kandoo flushable cleansing wipe after using regular toilet paper has greatly reduced the frequency of these episodes and the intensity when they do occur. I've tried several other brands of cleansing wipes and some work somewhat but Kandoo seem to work the best. I think it may be due to the Aloe, Vitamin E, and hydrogenated castor oil they contain.
This works the best:
https://www.pranicura.com Also Cholestyramine for Oral Suspension USP Powder works well. Taken as needed for itching. The itching is created by the bile that is unabsorbed now that we don't have a colon. Also I think sweets bring on anal itching as well. Hope this works for you...it does for me.
