Skin around anus shredded. Using ointment. Even has doctor prescribe a small amount of lomitil. Which have some relief two of the days. But he didn’t give me very many. Opiods, don’t ya know!

If memory serves, either Cipro or Flagyl will thicken things up and get ya back on tract. I don’t remember which one. But the dehydration along with a mild case of covid have kept me nearly non functional for a week. And I can’t take any more time off. Please remind me which antibiotic so I can ask my new GP, who hopefully will just give it to me.  I’m already trying the food route. Binding foods. But they also don’t always work. And I’m at my wits ends. Thanks.

Thank goodness it’s been a while, so Much so that I’veForgotten what else I can do. Please no metamucil suggestions. Or immodium. Two things that never worked for me.

Cipro absolutely does it for me.  And quickly.  500 twice a day was prescribed, a course of 14 days, for my symptoms related to mucosal prolapse and corresponding bacterial overgrowth.  I repeated that dose. I found it best to ease off rather once symptoms were under control rather than stop suddenly.  Recently added it back at night, and currently on 250 at bedtime.   I also take Rifaximin as maintenance. But it actually seems to soften the stool.
