Tania,
i agree that Ilex paste is the best ever to prevent butt burn! I order direct from the manufacturer in US- I order a jar for home, and tubes to carry with me. Initially, I used it ever time I went to bathroom, cleaned myself with Vaseline and then a cosmetic pad, and reapply. Ise generously if I am leaving house, and it almost make a plug. Crazy- I know, but it does seal leakage. At home I use lighter coat just to protect skin, and once your healed you won't need every time, though if I indulge in spicy or acidic food I use it more often. Bland diet will help initially and like others have said time will also help. Hard to be patient, but it does take months not weeks for body to adjust. Good luck in your recuperation! Laurie
