For the past 3 days and for unknown reason my stools are extremely acidic and in consequence my anus is on fire and extremely painful. Im using creams such as balneol that calm down the fire but its only temporary - when i go to the toilet the pain that i feel when stools come out is like a knife coming out of me.

 

does anyone have advice on what this could be and how to resolve this issue.? My diet has not changed and is not very acid based.

 

Could it be a bigger problem with the functioning of the pouch?

 

thanks

I am not sure on this one - I have times when this goes on (in fact - this happened for about 2 days earlier in the week) - but then if I watch what I eat, lots of clear broths, etc. etc. - it goes away and I am ok.  Have had this last up to about a week max and other than ointments, I just stay home and ride it out.  Over the years with the pouch - this has probably happened to me on less that 2 percent of days? 1 percent?  Not sure.  When it happens, it hurts terribly and yes - feels like knives coming out and is so incredibly painful.  I believe this time it was caused my some coconut that I did not know was in some candy I was eating...that has caused it before.  But, other unknown causes too.  So sorry you are dealing with this - it is awful.
