Total colectomy with ileoanal anastomosis Butt burn n rash HELP!

You should have the doctor check for a yeast infection. But that itch is - unfortunately - normal for some of us. The two products that work the best for me are Nupercainal (in the vicinity of the Preparation H products at the drug store). Nupercainal has a numbing effect and almost never hurts when it's applied. The other product is Ilex which is the king of skin protectants. Your son will need to apply a thin layer of Vaseline or similar product over the top of it (but I rarely do that anymore).

Also, rather than wiping (even if he's wiping with dampened toilet paper) try a sitz bath or install a hand-held shower attachment. Or invest in a bidet toilet seat which would be completely hands-free (well almost). It washes and dries the area. One of the sponsors of this site is COCO and they offer members here 15% off. I have a COCO bidet and it really helps.

Also, try other fiber supplements to see if one works better than Benefiber. Although I don't use them any longer, I had great success with Metamucil Wafers.

Welcome to the site! I hope your son starts seeing lots of improvement as soon as possible.

Kathy. Thank you so much for your reply. Yes im assuming is yeast infection. Cause his skin was raw and since butt paste its been like rough on the area and has bumps noe.
How long after surgery you went back to normal?

It's quite individual. Some of the younger people here wore diapers at night for a while. Or put a rubberized pad on the bed. It can take a good long while for things to settle down.

The good news is that with FAP, your son probably won't ever experience some of the things that those who had ulcerative colitis get to deal with.

Do a search here on FAP and you should get some great information. You might want to private message Chuckus (Charlie). He is rather the guru on FAP and the j-pouch. You could also private message Venessa. She's quite active on this site. She doesn't have a j-pouch (she has a continent ostomy - a BCIR) but she does have FAP and she might be able to offer support.

I'm sorry I don't have a more definitive timeline for you. Everyone is different and healing takes place at different rates. But if you think something might be wrong, by all means, contact your son's doctor.
