This might be a strange question...but I'm sure someone else must have the same problem....
I have a lot of bowel problems (C mixed with D, etc). Sometimes I go to the bathroom 3 times in a day (that's a regular stool). If I have D, I go up to 4 or so times. Anyway, all of the wiping really irritates my behind. Does anyone have this issue and if so...do you use anything to heal the rawness from wiping?? :rolleyes:

Instead of just using regular toilet paper, I have a thing of wet wipes on the back of the toilet that I use. I have some under the sink too that are made by Preparation H that have a cooling medication on them. They work really well for those bad times. Preparation H also has a cooling gel/cream that you can get to use in between trips to the potty to help. :D

I use moist tissue paper, anusol and a nappy rash cream called metanium which is good to put on before going to the toilet.

I always use puffs brand kleenex on my bottom. With having IBD it's not uncommon to go quite a bit throughout the day. I would always sit in a lukewarm sits bath for a few minutes, before applying the a&d ointment. Also you may try if you have really bad d- take 1/4 teaspoon of L-Gluntimine in powder form with a half of glass of water on a empty stomach once a day. It will help your gi tract absorb the water from your d-.
